Preparing for your practical driving test

On the day of your driving test, you will have to answer some show me-tell me questions before your test starts.

These include questions such as 'Tell Me how you would check the tyres to ensure that they have sufficient tread depth and that their general condition is safe to use on the road?'

Our instructors can help by going through all the possible questions you could be asked before the test and making sure your answers are correct.

You will also have to undertake an eye-sight test. Therefore, its important that you remember to wear your glasses or contact lenses to your test if you need them.

The eye-sight test will require you to correctly read a car number plate from 20 metres away.

To book your practical driving test, you must have:

  •   provisional driving license
  •   credit or debit card
  •   driving instructor's personal reference number
