Applying for the Practical Driving Test

Once you have reached a good standard and your instructor feels you are ready for the practical test, you will need to apply to take your test at your local DSA centre. You can do this online with the DSA Website, Your National Driving Instructor can also arrange your test date for you, if you want them to.

The Practical Driving Test

At the beginning of the test you will be asked to perform an eyesight check and then be asked some vehicle safety questions. You’ll then be tested on your general driving ability, including at least two reversing exercises.

The ‘Driving’ part of your test will last approx 45-50 minutes. Administration and paperwork may make this a complete hour. During the test your examiner will be looking for evidence that you’ve reached an overall safe standard of driving. You will be required to carry out both general and specific maneuvers. You can make up to 15 minor driving faults and still pass the test, but 16 or more minor faults results in a fail. However, if you commit just one serious or dangerous fault, you’ll fail the test automatically.
You must bring the following items with you to the test. If you don’t, the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) may refuse to carry out the test and you may lose your fee. 

  1. An appropriately insured and licensed learner vehicle – All of our National Driving Cars are specifically designed for this job and are available for hire.

  2. The appropriate theory test pass certificate.

  3. Your appointment letter confirming your test time and date.

  4. Both parts of your photo card and paper licence. If you don’t take both parts of your licence, your test may not take place and you risk losing your fee.

  5. If you have an old-style paper licence, you must take your signed driving licence and separate approved photo identification with you eg Passport. 

 

Applying for the Full Licence

Once you passed, your examiner will advise you of how exchange your test pass certificate and provisional driving licence for a new ‘Full’ driving licence as soon as possible.

 

 

Student Update

"Thank You! I have just passed my driving test and I'm over the moon! It's been plain sailing all the way through. The instructor was so nice, patient & down to earth. He explained everything to me in plain English. I've already recommended NDS Driving School to a friend who was thinking of learning to drive. She said she'll call you soon. Best of Luck and Thanks once again"
