What To Expect On The Day

If you’ve not had the chance to look into what happens on the day of your driving test, don’t worry, it’s pretty straightforward. All you’ve got to do is get to Exeter test centre 10 minutes before your test starts. You’ll need your provisional to hand as the examiner will ask to see it. Your test will then follow this basic format:

  • 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:
  • Twenty minutes of independent driving, during which you’ll either follow sat nav directions or sign posts to reach a set destination
