Driving Test
The Practical Driving Test can be booked on line at www.dsa.gov.uk or by phone on 0300 200 1122.
You will need your Driving License, your Theory Test Certificate and a credit / Debit Card for the cost of £62.00. There are tests available at weekends but these are at the rate of £75.00. (Please ensure that your instructor is available before you book your test, Your instructor has an ADI number which you should quote when booking your test, this will ensure that you do not double book the instructor)
Test routes are designed to be as uniform as possible include a range of typical road and traffic conditions.
To Book your test on-line with the DSA Click Here
The test will include an eyesight check (if you fail this, your test will not continue). The eyesight test requires you to read a number plate that is a certain distance away. For more information about the eyesight check please click here.
After the eyesight test you will be asked two vehicle safety check questions. You will then be examined on your general driving and on two reversing exercises. The reversing exercises will be chosen from:
1. reversing around a corner
2. turning in the road
3. reverse parking
You may also be asked to carry out an emergency stop exercise.
The Practical Driving Test is designed to see if you can drive safely, know the Highway Code and can demonstrate this through your driving.
You will be given directions in good time asked to carry out set exercises
The driving test lasts approximately 40 minutes
What will the test include?
The test will include an eyesight check (if you fail this, your test will not continue).
Before the practical driving test, your driving examiner will ask you to read the number plate on a stationary vehicle.
The distance requirement for the eyesight test using old style number plates is 20.5 metres or 20 metres if the new-style number plate is used. New-style number plates are easily identifiable starting with two letters eg AB 51 ABC.
Independent driving explained
Watch a video about independent driving
From 4 October 2010 your practical driving test will include a 10 minute section of independent driving.
During your test you’ll have to drive independently by either following:
· a series of directions
· traffic signs
· a combination of both
To help you understand where you’re going, the examiner may show you a diagram.
It doesn't matter if you don't remember every direction, or if you go the wrong way - that can happen to the most experienced drivers.
Independent driving is not a test of your orientation and navigation skills. Driving independently means making your own decisions - this includes deciding when it’s safe and appropriate to ask for confirmation about where you’re going.
The independent driving route
If you ask for a reminder of the directions, the examiner will confirm them to you.
If you go off the independent driving route it won’t affect the result of your test unless you commit a driving fault.
If you go off the route or take a wrong turning, the examiner will help you to get back on the route and continue with the independent driving.
If there are poor or obscured traffic signs, the examiner will give you directions until you can see the next traffic sign - you won’t need to have a detailed knowledge of the area.
You can’t use a sat nav for independent driving as it gives you turn-by-turn prompts. Independent driving tests how you make your own decisions.
Driving Test - Extended
Re-testing for disqualified drivers and riders was introduced on 06 January 1992. The cost of the extended test is £124.00 (Extended tests will last about 70 minutes)
Courts can impose an extended driving test on anyone convicted of dangerous driving offences convicted of other offences involving obligatory disqualification
Loss of your driving licence for dangerous driving or related offences involving obligatory disqualification means that you return to 'learner' status.
Normal rules for provisional licence-holders will apply.You must take and pass a theory test for the category of vehicle for which you intend to take an extended practical driving test.
The extended driving test is longer and therefore more demanding. It lasts for about 70 minutes and covers a wide variety of roads, usually including dual carriageways.
You are advised to prepare by taking suitable instruction from an ADI.
The higher fee reflects the length of the test.The purpose of re-testing is not punitive; it is a road safety measure, to check the driver's competence.
