What If I Can't Go To Halifax?

Halifax is just one of many West Yorkshire test centres that you can head to. If you’re unable to go to Halifax, you can go instead to Heaton or Huddersfield.

What To Expect On The Day

Once you’ve completed your course or lessons, you’ll be set to take your practical test. Relax—there’s nothing to worry about. In fact, all you've got to do is get to Halifax 10 minutes early and bring your provisional. Your test will then 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:
  • Twenty minutes of independent driving, during which you’ll either follow sat nav directions or sign posts to reach a set destination

Afterwards, you’ll be told by the examiner whether you’ve passed or failed. No matter what the outcome is, you'll get a feedback sheet that will detail any faults you made. If you're successful in your endeavour, you'll get your test pass certificate. If you'd like the DVSA to send you your new licence, you will have to hand over your provisional. 

But What If I Fail?

If you failed your test, don’t worry about it! It’s natural to be disappointed, but don’t let yourself be discouraged. The most important thing you can do is learn from your mistakes by using the feedback given to you by your examiner.
