Passing Your Driving Theory Test
The easiest way to put your practical drive in test is online. You’ll be able to check if your preferred date and time is available and book it now or then. You can also do it on telephone or post if you prefer. The best way to learn is by combining your professional lessons with practice. Try to get as much experience on the road as you can. On average, those who pass the test have done about 45 professional lessons and about 20 hours of private practice. On the day of the test you’ll need to take these with you: your provisional driving license including your paper counterpart, and your theory pass ticket. Remember these or you will not be able to take the test.
The Test Centre:
When you get to the test center, your examiner will check through your paperwork in the waiting room, they will also ask if you want your driver instructor or company to come with you at your test and be there at the end for the results and feedback. This is beneficial for your driving development so don’t forget to talk to your instructor, make sure that they know this is what you would like to happen. And you will be asked do a control stop.
On several occasions, the examiner will ask you to stop on the left. This is to ensure you can stop and move away safely. Your test will last 38 to 40 minutes. You will do a nice oil check be asked some safety questions and then go out on the road. You may also be asked to demonstrate the emergency stop. This will be carried out, again randomly, in 1 out of 3 driving tests. You’ll drive on various roads and traffic conditions, and also be asked to drive independently for approximately 10minutes, by following road traffic signs or a series of directions. Or perhaps a combination of both.
You will also be asked to complete one of the following reversing maneuvers: turn in the road, parallel parking, either on the road side or into a parking test center, reversing around corner. One exercise will be swapped at random by the examiner, but you should practice all of them with your instructor and/or accompany driver. If you drive to the standard required, you will pass. If you make more than 15 driving faults or commit a serious or dangerous fault at any time, you will fail. Remember: if you’re well prepared when you go for your test you shouldn’t find it difficult. If you didn’t have you instructor and / or accompany driver with you on the test, you can now call them over to hear your result and listen the examiner’s feedback.
Reviewing Your Test:
Pass or fail, your examiner will give you a few background on your driving, including eco-safe driving which helps protect the environment and may save you money. If you’re successful, you may be able to have your photo license sent you automatically. To do this, you will need to leave your provisional driving license with your examiner. You should receive your full license within 3 weeks. Did you know that once you pass your test you could get further training that could save you money on your insurance?
