What To Expect On The Day

The last thing you need is to show up late to Edinburgh Musselburgh test centre and be told that you’re not allowed to take your practical. So, make sure you leave early and get to the centre 10 minutes before your appointment starts. Once you’ve parked your car, you’ll meet the examiner. They will need to see your provisional and will then ask you to sign a form.

After the formalities are completed, your driving test will consist of:

• An eyesight test, where you’ll need to read a number plate from a distance of 20 metres
• 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:
  • Parallel parking
  • Bay parking
  • Pulling up on the right
• Twenty minutes of independent driving, during which you’ll either follow sat nav directions or sign posts to reach a set destination
