| This is what you have put
in all the hard work for and hopefully with UKdrive this has been
fun as well as educational. Test day is important to us as we wish
to build our reputation of having an above average pass rate, so we
will do everything within our power to help you prepare for this day.
Many schools structure test day wrongly which cause you to be nervous
unnecessarily. Without giving away all our methods, we will collect
you from home, between 1 and 2 hours before test time (depending on
distance to the city centre).
You will then drive to the town centre accompanied by your instructor
and run through any things that you would like to have a final practice
of. We will then arrive at the test centre 10 minutes before test
time. After signing a declaration that you are insured for the test
car and having your provisional license checked you will be required
to read a car registration plate about 20 metres away. Provided
you can read the plate you will then be asked 2 show me/tell me
questions. There are 13 different questions from which these are
chosen. These cover basic car mainteneance ie. show me/tell me how
you check the oil level on this car. Your
UKdrive instructor will give you a copy of these
well in advance of your test and answer any questions you may have.
After the 2 questions you will drive the car for about 35 minutes
under the supervision/instruction of the examiner. During this time
you will be asked to perform 2 reverse manoeuvres and possibly an
emergency stop. Dual carriageway driving may also be incorporated
depending on where you take the test. Junctions and roundabouts
are a definite. You can gain driving faults for any errors you may
make. Minor faults can be given for smaller faults such as missing
a mirror check. You are allowed a maximum of 15 minor faults for
a pass, 16 faults and it's a fail! |
