What Do First Time Passers Do Differently?

  • They book when ready, not when a date appears. Your instructor’s view matters here.
  • They know every manoeuvre. Not just the one they like.
  • They take mock tests. A full mock shows where faults come from.
  • They stay calm after a mistake. One small fault rarely decides the result.

What Will You Do at Tottenham Driving Test Centre?

Your test starts with an eyesight check, reading a number plate from 20 metres. You then answer a “tell me” question before driving off.

On the road, you follow a sat nav, traffic signs or both. You answer a “show me” question while driving and do one reversing exercise. You might also be asked for an emergency stop. The GOV.UK guide to the test has the full detail.
