Step 1: Know What to Bring
You need a car that meets the rules and your UK driving licence. Most learners use their instructor’s car. Forget either one and the test is cancelled, with no refund. The GOV.UK checklist lists everything.
Step 2: Learn the Test Format
- Eyesight check: read a number plate from 20 metres
- “Tell me” question before you drive, “show me” question while driving
- Around 35 minutes of driving, with no motorways
- Independent driving with a sat nav, road signs or both
- One reversing exercise and maybe an emergency stop
The GOV.UK test guide explains each part.
