Practical Test

GRAHAMS DRIVING LESSONS AND TRAINING IN DARLINGTON, NEWTON AYCLIFFE AND BARNARD CASTLE WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH YOU Practical DRIVING TEST.

 

Your practical test is your opportunity to demonstrate the skills you have learned throughout the course of your lessons. You will be expected to drive safely for the duration of the test, which will require you to perform one of the 4 reversing manoeuvres you have practiced and possibly an emergency stop. 

You will be allowed to collect up to 15 minor points but no majors. 

A crucial part of your test will be the Independent Driving section. This is where you are asked to pull over and will be given a set of three directions to follow. The examiner may continue to give you up to three sets of instructions. 

For example: First right, straight on at the mini-roundabout and the 2nd left. 

Alternatively, you could also be given the name of a destination and required to follow signage. You may ask for the place to be written down so that you can see how it’s spelt.
