Tests...

Mock Test - ASPIRE2DRIVE ensures several Mock Tests are carried out by your instructor prior to your practical test for objectivity and to show you how nerves may affect you on the day. This will also highlight any weaknesses, and give you the chance to have any additional tuition/practice needed to prepare fully for the big day.

Driving Test - During this 40 minute test, conducted by an approved DSA Examiner, you are allowed to make up to 15 driving errors as long as they are not potentially or actually dangerous/serious.

You will fail your driving test if:

         You fail the eyesight test

         You commit one or more serious/dangerous driving errors during the test

         You commit 16 or more driving errors

At the start of your driving test the examiner will check your driving licence (you must have both parts of your driving licence if held, or an old paper licence and passport), give you an eyesight test, then will ask you two questions about “vehicle safety”, e.g. a “show me”, and a “tell me” questions. (ASPIRE2DRIVE can provide you with the knowledge to pass this part of the test)

On the day of your practical test, the Examiner will make an assessment of your driving skills, getting you to complete various manoeuvres i.e. turn in the road, bay parking, parallel parking, emergency stop etc.

The test itself comprises of 2 parts:-

The theory test includes a series of multiple choice questions, testing your knowledge of the Highway Code, basic car maintenance, and so on. You must correctly answer at least 43 out of a possible 50 questions to pass this test.

The hazard perception test is a series of short video clips of normal motoring situations, testing your awareness and planning skills. You must get at least 44 marks out of a possible 75 marks to pass this test.

If either part of the test is failed, you must retake both parts again, as the theory and hazard perception test must be passed on a single occasion before a practical test may be booked.

Free hazard perception training is available if required on a one to one basis.
