What If I Can’t Go To Ashfield?

There are plenty of practical test centres to head to in Nottinghamshire. The closest alternatives to Ashfield are Watnall and Colwick.

What To Expect On The Day

No matter which test centre you head to, the format of your practical test will remain the same. On the day of your test, get to Ashfield 10 minutes early and make sure you bring your provisional licence. Your practical will then proceed with: 

• 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

Once you get back to Ashfield test centre and parked up properly, that’s it—you’re all done! The examiner will tell you whether you’ve passed or failed, taking you through the feedback sheet which details your minors and majors. If you pass, you’ll get a test pass certificate and you can send off for your new licence. 

But What If I Fail?

Believe it or not, failing your driving test isn’t the worst thing to ever happen to you. Plenty of learners need a few goes before they get it perfect—check out the average attempts to pass the driving test if you don’t believe us!
