Practical tests
The driving test will last between 38 and 40 minutes; during which the candidate will be asked two show me / tell me questions, 10 minutes of independent driving, one manoeuvre from the following: a) turning in the road, b) reversing round a corner, c) reverse parking (either on the road or into a bay), an emergency stop (one in three driving tests). At the end of the test (in the car park) the examiner will give you the result of the test and some feedback with regard your test.
The Examiner will be looking for a good driver, based on safety not necessarily experience. He will allow the candidate up to 15 minor faults before failing.
Minor Faults - are those which do not involve dangerous or potentially dangerous situations.
Serious Faults - are those which involve a potential danger, ie: situations in which the candidate's actions involved an unacceptable risk, either to himself or others.
Dangerous Faults - are those which involve actual danger, ie: where others are forced to act as a consequence, where persons are exposed to unacceptable risk, etc.
However, if one serious or dangerous fault is made - a failure will be the result.
The fee for the Practical Driving Test is currently £62.00
