Practical Test

Once you have passed both parts of the theory test and shown you have the aptitude and ability to undertake the final part of the driving test, you will be ready to apply for the practical test.

In order to achieve a successful first time pass, it is important that you have had sufficient tuition and practice. This should ensure you are well prepared and be more than capable of displaying the standard expected by your examiner.

The test lasts approximately 40 minutes, during which:

your eyesight will be checked to ensure you can read a number plate from 20½ metres (67 feet), or 20 metres (66 feet) if fitted to a car registered after 2001
you will be asked two questions on the mechanical aspects of your car
you will undertake an assessment of your driving capabilities

The driving part of the test usually lasts for about 30-35 minutes on different types of local roads. During this part of the test you will be asked to perform two manoeuvres from the following options:

Reversing around a corner to the left or right
Turning the car around in the road
Reverse parking the car either into a parking bay or behind a parked vehicle

In addition you may be asked to perform a controlled stop as if in an emergency.

You can apply either by post, by phone on 0870 0101372, or online via the Directgov website.
