The UK driving test is a practical assessment designed to ensure that learners have the skills, knowledge, and confidence to drive safely and independently. It includes a vision check, a ‘Show Me, Tell Me’ vehicle safety question section, around 40 minutes of driving on various road types, and one reversing manoeuvre. You may also be asked to perform an emergency stop. During the test, you’ll follow directions from a driving examiner and complete 20 minutes of independent driving, often using a sat nav. To pass, you must demonstrate safe, controlled driving with no more than 15 minor faults and no serious or dangerous faults.
I provide full support and preparation for learners taking their test at Musselburgh Test Centre, helping you become familiar with the local routes, road layouts, and what to expect on the day.
