DRIVE TEST

Will there be a new drive test? If so, what will be involved in the new test?

The driving test, which takes about 30 minutes, is in two parts. The first part involves five to ten minutes in quiet driving situations. This is to assess your basic driving ability.

The second part about 20 minutes, involves a wider range of traffic situations to test your day-to-day driving ability more thoroughly.

To help you pass your driving test, there is important information you should know before you start.

This information is contained in the leaflet below, and includes topics such as, what tests you must pass to get your licence, what you have to bring to the licence test, what will happen during the driving test, how your driving will be assessed and the serious errors which could cause you to fail the test.
