What To Expect On The Day

On the day of your driving test, you need to triple-check that you have your provisional licence before you leave. Why? The examiner will ask to see it and won’t let you proceed if you don’t have it. You’ll need to be punctual too—get to Boston test centre 10 minutes before your practical starts. Your test will then follow this format:

• 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
