What To Expect On The Day

Once you’ve completed your driving lessons or course, you’ll move on to take your practical test. There’s not much to worry about—and there are plenty of tips if you’re an anxious driver—so all you have to do on the day is get to Horsforth 10 minutes early with your provisional licence. Your practical will 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

At the end of your test, your examiner will let you know if you’ve passed or failed. No matter the outcome, you'll be walked through any faults you made with feedback sheet. Successful candidates will receive a test pass certificate and have their new licence sent off for. 

But What If I Fail?

If you fail your practical test, you can quite easily book another one. The most important thing you can do is pay attention to the examiner’s feedback so you can improve your driving before you take your next practical.
