There are 5 parts to the driving test:

• an eyesight check

• ‘show me, tell me’ vehicle safety questions

• general driving ability

• reversing your vehicle

• independent driving

The test is the same for both manual and automatic cars.

The driving test lasts for about 40 minutes.

You will be asked to read a number plate from a distance of either 20 metres for vehicles with a new-style number plate or 20.5 metres for vehicles with an old-style number plate.

You will then be asked 2 vehicle safety questions including a tell me question before you set off and a show me question when you are driving.

You can find these questions here.

During your test you will be asked to drive in various road and traffic conditions, but not on motorways. You will be given directions to follow. The examiner will assess how safely you drive. During the test you will be asked to complete a reversing exercise which could either be a parallel park, bay park or pull up on the right hand side of the road and reverse back. You will also have to complete and independent drive for 20 minutes following either a sat nav or traffic signs.

You will pass your driving test provided you make no more than 15 driving faults (minors), no dangerous fault (involves actual danger to you, the examiner, the public or property) and no serious fault (something potentially dangerous).
