What To Expect On The Day

Finished your driving lessons? You should be more than ready to face your practical test. Now all you need to do on the day is get to Knaresborough 10 minutes early—with your provisional, or you won't be able to take your test. 

  • 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:
  • Twenty minutes of independent driving, during which you’ll either follow sat nav directions or sign posts to reach a set destination

Once you get back to Knaresborough test centre, you’ll get your results. You'll be able to see where you picked up driving faults—if any—with the feedback sheet given to you by your examiner. If you're successful, you'll also get your test pass certificate. You can then hand over your provisional in order to send off for your new licence. 

But What If I Fail?

It’s the question on every learner driver’s mind—what if I fail? While it’s disheartening to fail your practical test, it’s not the end of your journey.
