You will be given directions by the Driving Examiner in good time and asked to carry out one of four manoeuvres:
You are allowed to make 15 driver faults during the practical driving test one serious or dangerous fault and you would not be successful. At the end of the driving test the examiner will inform you if you've passed or failed. You can also ask for your instructor to sit in with you on test. |
