Practical Test

The Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency recommends that most learners take at least 45 hours of professional tuition lessons and at least 20 hours with friends and family.

The average number of lessons is currently 35 hours. As all learners are different, some will pass more quickly than others.

Your driving test will start with an eyesight check and some vehicle safety questions. The driving part of your test will last about 40 minutes. Throughout the test your examiner will be looking for an overall safe standard of driving, including when you are carrying out the set exercises. You can make up to 15 driving faults and still pass the test (16 or more results in failure). However, if you commit one serious or dangerous fault you will fail the test.

It is the students responsibility to make arrangements for a suitable vehicle which is correctly insured for their driving test.  Should you wish to use your instructors car for your Practical Driving Test Appointment, make sure you discuss this with your Driving Instructor before you arrange the appointment.
