The Practical Driving Test
So, you think you are ready. Does your instructor? Only once you display the core competencies
and demonstrate advanced driving skills should you consider taking your test. Consider the
following before booking. Can you.
2) Correctly use the controls and make good observations when reverse parking
3) Make effective use of mirrors well before changing direction or slowing down
4) Correctly use the controls and make good observations when reversing around a corner
5) Make correct use of signals and not give misleading ones.
6) Move away correctly from stationary positions including effective observations
7) Use correct road position on bends and use good lane discipline on roundabouts
8) Have good steering control when making left or right turns
9) Use correct lane position when turning right on one way streets
10) Not hesitate causing delay when pulling out of junctions and roundabouts.
The above is not exhaustive and by no means confirms you as a safe driver. But, be prepared, the pass rate is currently 43%. If you have the option of combining private practice with professional instruction then you should as this will give you the confidence to challenge yourself. We will discuss all the practical implications of the test, the show me tell me section and practical driving during your lessons as this is where we prep you.
You have passed.
Pass plus is a superb course which takes in 6 different modules to enhance your new status as a
driver. It includes a comprehensive session on motorway driving and is an ideal next step once
those L plates have come off. Not only are there significant steps toward making you a better
driver, but there are substantial saving to be made with selected Insurance companies.
The course should last for no less than the recommended minimum of 6 hours. With no test at the end, your status to pass is based on your instructor’s confidence in you as a driver. 1 in 5 newly qualified drivers has an accident in their first year. Pass Plus will give you the practical experience to reduce the risk and likelihood. Your instructor will discuss with you the benefits of this course even before passing your test.
Congratulations!
We are looking for ambassadors for FWA that will be prepared to be involved in future marketing
activities and will communicate the effectiveness of our training. Please speak to your instructor
to learn more about the financial benefits of passing with FWA.
