What will happen on the day of my driving test?

On the day of your driving test you will be picked up roughly an hour before your test. Treat it like a warm up where you have the opportunity to get rid your nerves and ask any questions that might be bothering you.
You will drive to the test centre 10 minuted before the test and reverse bay park your vehicle into an designated parking bay.
Make sure that the vehicle is set up exactly to your requirements - seat position, steering wheel, mirrors etc.
When you enter the building its advised to use the toilet so that you feel comfortable during your test.
You will wait in the waiting area with your instructor until the examiner calls your name.
Have your driving license ready and the key for the car.
When you are called out you will be required to present your license and confirm your address.
Then you will be asked to sign the declaration on the test paper.
Your examiner will ask if you wish to have your instructor to sit in the back with you during the test, sometimes this helps calm nerves, other times it may be a distraction - choose wisely, your instructor can't do anything or say anything during the test.
You will walk to the car and be required to read out a number plate.
Your examiner will also ask you a tell me question.
When you enter the car and get comfy the examiner will check the car and take down some notes.
The test will last between half an hour and 40 minutes.
When you return to the test centre it is not required to park perfectly, remember your test is not over until you turn off the engine.
The examiner will then give you your feedback and result which you can invite your instructor to attend.
You will then be given a lift home hopefully with the result you want and a smile on your face.

crossings

Types of pedestrian crossings When learning to drive a focus of a lesson can be based around pedestrian crossings. During your driving test, the examiner will be looking at how you deal with or react to pedestrian crossings. They want to make sure that you are planning ahead, showing awareness and responding to them them in the safest possible way. Pedestrian crossings get put into two main categories – uncontrolled and traffic light controlled. For all crossings: -In queuing traffic, you should keep the crossing clear. On approach to a crossing there will be white zigzag lines on both sides of the road to highlight there is a pedestrian crossing ahead – these also prevent people parking at any time and is a place you make no attempt to overtake. You should take extra care where the view of either side of the crossing is blocked by queuing traffic or incorrectly parked vehicles. Pedestrians may be crossing between stationary vehicles.

Sat Nav In Your Driving Test

Sat Nav In Your Driving Test This part of the test is your independent driving part and it’ll last around 20 minutes - roughly half of the test. Following directions from a sat nav During the independent driving part of the test, most candidates will be asked to follow directions from a sat nav. The examiner will provide the sat nav (a TomTom Start 52) and set it up. You won’t need to set the route - the examiner will do this for you. So, it doesn’t matter what make or model of sat nav you practise with. You can’t follow directions from your own sat nav during the test - you have to use the one supplied by the examiner. You’ll be able to ask the examiner for confirmation of where you’re going if you’re not sure. It won’t matter if you go the wrong way unless you nake a fault while doing it. One in 5 driving tests won’t use a sat nav. You’ll need to follow traffic signs instead. If you are interested in learning to drive then please call Simon at 4front Driving School on 07905657229 Or
