Practical Test

We'll give you loads of useful advise and practical information to help make sure you're ready to take the test - and pass.
 

Once you've passed your theory test, we will tell you how ready you are for your Practical test. Naturally, we want you to pass first time, so here are a few ways we can give you that extra edge. Your Track Record log book keeps tabs on your progress – showing you where your strengths are and what skills you'll need to brush up on.
 

Top 10 things to look out for

The DSA (Driving Standards Agency) regularly publish the top 10 reasons why learners fail their Practical test. To maximise your chances of passing first time, here are some of the big things to look out for:
 

  • Look carefully to judge when best to come out of side roads

  • Use the controls correctly and demonstrate good observation when reverse parking

  • Use the mirrors effectively long before you change direction or slow down

  • Use the controls correctly and demonstrate good observation when reversing round a corner

  • Use signals correctly, including how to cancel them and not give misleading ones

  • Move away correctly from stationary positions, including good observation

  • Use the correct road position, particularly on bends, and show good lane discipline on roundabouts

  • Have good steering control, when making left or right turns for example

  • Get in the correct position when turning right

  • Don’t hesitate or cause delay. Always pull out promptly at junctions.
