Panicking about your big day? Take a deep breath and remember that your instructor wouldn’t let you take it if they didn’t think you were ready.

  • Two “show me, tell me” questions covering vehicle safety and maintenance
  • Twenty minutes of general driving, where you’ll be guided by the examiner, and will also need to perform one of the following manoeuvres:
