Tips for Passing Your Driving Test
- 1Drive the test routes beforehand. Ask your instructor to practice on the roads around Greenford (Whitton Ave East) so the area feels familiar on test day.
- 2Arrive early and stay calm. Give yourself time to walk into the test centre, complete the eyesight check and settle your nerves before the examiner calls you.
- 3Observation is everything. The most common reasons for failing are observations — junctions, roundabouts and mirrors. Make your checks deliberate and visible to the examiner.
- 4Don't let a minor fault put you off. A minor fault won't fail you — it's only a fail if you get 16 minors or commit a serious/dangerous fault. Refocus and drive on.
- 5Pass your theory test first. You must have a valid theory test pass certificate to book your practical. Make sure it hasn't expired (it's valid for 2 years).
