What To Expect On The Day

Not entirely sure what happens on a driving test? Well, for starters, you need to get to Carlisle test centre 10 minutes before your test starts. The examiner will want to look at your provisional before you start, so make sure you bring it. The test itself will then follow this basic structure:

• An eyesight test, where you’ll need to read a number plate from a distance of 20 metres
• Two “show me, tell me” questions covering vehicle safety and maintenance
• Twenty minutes of general driving, where you’ll be guided by the examiner, and will also need to perform one of the following manoeuvres:
  • Parallel parking
  • Bay parking
  • Pulling up on the right
• Twenty minutes of independent driving, during which you’ll either follow sat nav directions or sign posts to reach a set destination
