Driving test advice

I regularly get asked for advice on how to cope with the driving test. So here are my top tips for success:

* Treat it like a driving lesson - It isn't a test, it's an assessment. Just treat it like another drive. The examiners want to see - safe, confident and controlled driving. So relax and enjoy!

* Get your Driving Instructor to organise a mock test - Get used to driving with someone new.

* Go the wrong way! - Be happy to go the wrong way. It isn't a test of your directional ability, so if it's safer to not turn or stop don't!

* Don't ask friends for advice - It's rarely good or even true!

* Get a good Driving Instructor - They MUST have an ADI badge in the window. They will give you honest advice and support you through the test.

* Don't aim to pass - Is 'the test' really your big goal? My drivers want freedom, safety and independence! The test is important for 40 minutes, but they are looking forward to the next 40 years!

* Enjoy it! - when you achieve that pass, maybe that first time pass, you will be smiling for a week!

Good luck!

Looking for Insurance?

Learning to drive?
Insurance for provisional licence holders can get in the way of learning. It can prevent essential practice outside of lessons increasing the cost of learning dramatically.
However - you could consider Short Term Provisional licence holder Insurance. This insures the learner themselves for the vehicle but does not effect the car owners own insurance or no-claims bonus in case of an accident. To get a quote try Collingwood Insurance (This link or quoting "368082" will provide CB's discount!)
Or get a quote from QuoteZone. an excellent Insurance comparison site.

Newly Qualified Driver?
Cost of Insurance can be higher than learning itself! To get some of the best quotes aimed at NQD's (Newly Qualified Drivers) Check out QuoteZone for a competitive quote.

ADI (Driving School Insurance)
As creator of the Facebook group "I'm a Driving Instructor and I'm on Facebook" I have negotiated recognition as a group for some great rates. So contact QuoteZone's ADI Specialist portal and get a quote to see how much you can save!

Driving Test Changes - Due October 2010

In October the DSA will be making a number of changes to the UK driving test. The details of which can be found on passwithcbs.co.uk.

The biggest change is that they are introducing an "Independent Driving" section of the test. This will affect all practical test candidates for all vehicle categories.
This new section of the test will involve either following road signs, following verbal directions or a combination of both. For some routes a diagram will be shown to support the verbal directions.

The DSA have reduced a YouTube video to detail the changes it can be seen here

If you have any questions regarding the changes to the test please contact us or Visit Direct.gov to find details on how to contact the DSA.
