To help candidates understand where they are going the examiner may show a diagram. It doesnt matter if the candidate cant remember all the directions or goes the wrong way, that can happen to the most experienced drivers. The second change will be that the candidate will only be required to complete only one reversing manover.

On Your Practical Driving Test Day
The day of your driving test has arrived and it’s only natural that as a learner driver you will feel nervous. Remember that your Right Turn School of Motoring instructor is there to support you and would not have advised you to take your driving test if they did not feel you were ready.
Some people prefer to have a driving lesson with their instructor an hour or so before the test, this not only helps to calm those "driving test day nerves" but gets you used to driving a car before the testcommences. Your driving instructor will make sure you get to the test centre at least 10 minutes earlier than your driving testbegins. Bring the following driving test documents with you.
-
Driving license (UK), which must be signed, make sure both parts are there, paper counterpart and photo card. Your driving license serves as identification and photographic proof. Please note that if you still have an old paper style driving license you will need to bring a valid UK passport with you to prove your identity.
-
Pass certificate for your theory test.
Apart from general driving, your test will include....
Eyesight test - before you get into your car the examiner will point out a vehicle at a suitable distance and ask you to read its number plate. If your answer is incorrect the examiner will measure the exact distance and repeat the test. If you fail the eyesight test your test will not go any further.
Safety checks - the examiner will ask you two questions about carrying out safety checks on your vehicle before the start of your test.
Special exercises - You will be asked to carry out one of the following exercises during your test.Your examiner will ask you to pull up, explain the exercise and ask you to carry it out.
-
Reverse around a corner
-
Turning in the road
-
Reverse parking (either in a bay at the test centre or on the side of the road)
Emergency stop - You may be asked to carry out an emergency stop.
Independant driving - Your practical driving test will include approximately 10 minutes of independent driving. During your test you’ll have to drive independently by either following:
-
traffic signs
-
a series of directions
-
a combination of both
To help you understand where you are going when following verbal directions, the examiner will 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.
If you drive the way your Right Turn School of Motoring instructor has taught you during the driving test you can have every confidence of passing, remember try to stay calm and follow the driving examiners instructions carefully.
