Practical Tips to Consider Before You Take Your Driving Test- Part II
For more general information go to Practical Tips to Consider Before You Take Your Driving Test - Part I.
What to bring to your driving test
- To start with, you must bring an appropriately insured and licensed vehicle, displaying L-plates.
- You must also bring all the necessary documents with you. Read this information carefully. If you do not bring the right papers, the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) may refuse to carry out the test and you may lose your money. For all types of tests you should have
- your theory test pass certificate (or confirmation) if you are not exempt
- both parts of your photo card license
For motorcycle tests
- compulsory basic training certificate (CBT) for both modules
- motorcycle module one test pass certificate to your module two test
For lorry and bus tests
- multiple choice and hazard perception pass letters or your overall theory test pass certificate letter
If you have an old-style paper license
- a signed driver's license
- a valid passport (no other form of photographic identification will be accepted)
If you misplace your driver's license, you must apply for a replacement from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), which could take up to 15 days. If this happens, you may have to rearrange your test.
If you have lost your certificate, you should contact DSA. Although DSA does not issue replacement certificates, they'll be able to send you a brief letter containing your certificate number.
When you contact DSA about your lost certificate, you'll need to give your name and driver's license number.
The examiner will ask if you want your instructor or another person to go with you on your driving test and sit in the back of the car and be there at the end of the test for the result and feedback.
DSA encourages you to take someone with you on your driving test. They
- will usually be the person who has taught you to drive
- could be a relative or friend
- must be over 16-years-old
- cannot take any part in the test
- will be able to see how you perform during the test
- breaking the law
- causing other road users to be put at risk
- convicted in the criminal courts
- given prison sentences
To get the most benefit ask your instructor to go with you. They can then give you advice on how to improve your driving, whether you pass or fail.
The examiner's supervisor may come along as well. You shouldn't worry about this as they will be watching the examiner's performance, not yours. The supervisor will not have a say in how you are tested or in your result. If you don't allow the examiner's supervisor to go with you the test might be suspended and you might lose your test fee.
