What To Expect On Test Day

On the day of your practical driving test, try to arrive calm, prepared and on time. Your instructor will usually help you plan the lesson before the test so you can settle into your driving and warm up properly.

During the test, you can expect:

  • An eyesight check
  • A vehicle safety question
  • General road driving
  • Independent driving
  • One reversing manoeuvre
  • Possibly an emergency stop
  • Directions from the examiner

The examiner is looking for safe and independent driving. You do not need to be perfect. If you make a small mistake, keep going and stay focused.
