Your
Princess driving instructor will assess your progress and recommend
booking your Practical Test to coincide with you being a safe driver
and reaching the required standard to have a good chance of
successfully completing the test requirements. |

| |
| |
The Practical driving test lasts for approximately 40
minutes and your instructor will normally pick you up 1 hour before the test
time and let you practice the set routines and drive to the test centre.
They will then accompany you to the waiting room when at the appointed time
the examiner will ask you to show them your documents, both parts of your
Licence and your Theory pass certificate. We also recommend you take your
appointment letter then sign a test report form declaration to say the
vehicle is insured. We can assure you all our vehicles are insured as well
as thoroughly maintained. |

must be able to read a vehicle number plate at 20.5 metres (67 feet) or
the new style from 20 metres (66 feet). This is done just outside the
test centre. |

| Show Me Tell Me |
You
will be required to show or demonstrate safety checks regarding the
vehicle. Your instructor will provide you with the questions and
answers before the test date. |
| |
| The Drive |
It
is conducted over varying road and traffic conditions. Good control and
awareness is essential and you will be asked to undertake 2 reversing
maneuvers. An emergency stop is required in 1 out of 3 tests. You can
commit a maximum of 15 minor driving faults and still pass but over 15
or one serious or dangerous fault will result in a fail. |
| |
| The Result |
At
the end of the test the examiner will give you the result. Hopefully
you will have passed but if not he will explain any serious faults you
may have. It is helpful to have your instructor present for this
debrief, they will be able to explain anything you may not understand
at a convenient time later. |
