Freedom

The Practical Test is your opportunity to show the examiner that you can put into practice your knowledge of the road and driving skills to be able to drive safely, without supervision.

What's the test like?

If you're well prepared from your lessons and practice and you can apply your theory knowledge, then the Practical Test is really straightforward. It's designed to see whether you can drive safely on the roads and can demonstrate your knowledge of the Highway Code. The test lasts about 40 minutes and is conducted by a DSA examiner. They'll tell you where to go and ask you to carry out a range of exercises. You'll be asked to drive on a test route that's designed to test your skills to the full and where possible it will incorporate everyday road and traffic conditions, including hills, traffic lights and junctions.

When you take your test, it's important to drive a car that's reliable and that you feel comfortable in. The car must also meet the legal requirements. This is easy if you choose to take your driving test with Ashmore Driving School's car, because all this is taken care of and, of course, your instructor will come to the test centre with you.

If you want to take the test in your own car, you'll have to make sure that the car is legally roadworthy. This means it must have a valid MOT certificate if it's over three years old and it must be fully insured. The examiner will ask you to sign a declaration that your insurance is in order before going ahead with the test. If your car doesn't meet all the stipulated regulations, your test will be cancelled and you'll lose the test fee you have paid. Find out more about the regulations at http://www.dsa.gov.uk/.

Independant Driving

Independent driving will be introduced into the British driving test from Monday (4 October).

Candidates in all main categories of test will be asked to spend around 10 minutes demonstrating their ability to drive safely without step-by-step directions from an examiner.

Road Safety Minister Mike Penning said:

"The independent driving assessment gives test candidates the chance to show they have the necessary skills to cope with the sort of traffic conditions they will face every day.
"Learning those skills from the very start of the driving process will help make new drivers safer."

At the moment the examiner gives directions throughout the test. But during the independent drive, the candidate will have to follow traffic signs or a short series of verbal directions, or a combination of both. To help candidates understand where they are going when following verbal directions, the examiner will show a diagram. Candidates can also ask for a reminder as they drive.

DSA's Chief Driving Examiner Trevor Wedge said:

"The aim of independent driving is to assess the candidate's ability to drive safely whilst making decisions independently. It's not a test of navigation and candidates won't be failed for going off route.
"The test is being improved to help produce safer drivers, but that doesn't mean it's getting any harder. We know many instructors are already teaching independent driving."
In addition, practical car test candidates will only have to complete one of the three reversing manoeuvres, instead of two at present. Other categories of test remain unchanged. The price and duration of tests also stay the same.

Pass plus training

Freedom

Pass Plus is a training course specifically aimed at new drivers. Statistics show that new drivers are more likely to have an accident in the first two years of passing their test due to a lack of driving experience - this is where Pass Plus comes in! The course aims to build upon your newly acquired driving skills and knowledge.

What is Pass Plus?

Pass Plus was designed by the (DSA) Driving Standards Agency with help from some insurers and also the driving instruction industry, Pass Plus will help you to build upon your existing driving knowledge and skills. It will also teach you how to anticipate, plan and deal with all kinds of hazards you may have not tried before and can help you to become much more confident driver on the roads.

Pass Plus is made up of six practical modules which include:

Driving in town centres.
Driving in all weather.
Driving on rural out of town roads.
Driving your car at night.
Driving on dual carriageways.
Driving on motorways.

Anyone who is a full UK licence holder can then take part in the Pass Plus scheme. There is no test at the end of the course but you will be continually assessed by your instructor as you go. And you must successfully complete all of the six modules in the course to an achieved or exceeded standard.
