Car Test (Cat B)

You will take your driving test in one of our cars, the test will start with an eyesight check and one of the two vehicle safety questions (Driver Safety Check Questions). You will then start your practical driving test which will include one reversing Manoeuvre, the second vehicle safety question and possibly an emergency stop. Click here to see some helpful video guides for learner drivers

The driving part of your test will last approximately 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 e.g. an emergency stop, right reverse, forward or reverse bay park or parallel park (you will be asked to complete only one off the reversing manoeuvres and possibly an emergency stop). 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.

At the end of the test your examiner will inform you of the result and will go over any faults that may have occurred during your test. You may take your instructor with you on your test or ask for them to be present for the de brief.

The most common things people fail their tests for are:-

Going too fast
Going too slow inc hesitation
Observations at junctions or during the manoeuvre.
