How will I know if I am ready?
Your instructor will tell you when you are ready to take your practical test. This is usually when you are able to drive fairly
faultlessly, and when you are able to perform all the topics covered on your progress sheet independently.
Can I just ‘go for it’ even if I am not quite ready?
No! Your safety and that of other road users is important to us. We appreciate learning to drive can be a costly exercise,
but there are sadly no short cuts.
There is a waiting list for tests, so can I book now and use it as a goal?
Quite possibly, but should your instructor feel you are not at the required standard - he/she reserves the right to refuse to
take you to the test. The DVSA will give you a cancellation date (a date by which you can cancel before losing your fee).
It is YOUR responsibility to monitor this date and to double check with your instructor that you are ready! Your instructor
WILL NOT attend a test if you are not ready.
I took a test before, so surely I am ready to have another try?
Not necessarily! It is common for the standard of a pupil’s driving to slip. It may be that you have issues to address
BEFORE rebooking.
