Driving Test Tips: 

• Make sure you have all the documentation for the day of your driving test.
• Arrive in plenty of time for the test, try to be sitting in the waiting room 10 to 15 minutes before your time.
• If you make a mistake while out on the test try not to worry about it. It may not be as bad as you think. You could still be on the way to getting your full licence.
• The tester is looking for a SAFE, CONFIDENT, COMFORTABLE drive. We all make mistakes at the end of the day unless you do something major or continue to carry out a fault or faults you'll be fine.
• Make sure your vehicle is good roadworthy condition. Your lights are all working especially brake lights and indicators and engine levels are all topped up too.
• Make sure you have L plates on your car and that they have the proper legal white border on them.
• Make sure your vehicle is clean, especially that you can see clearly out of all your windows.
• Check that your car has the proper and valid Tax and Insurance disc. If the vehicle requires a valid NCT make sure you display it.
• Insure that the tyres on your car are of the legal requirement 1.6 mm and that the wall of the tyre is in good condition too.

NOT TRUE.

When it all boils down to it the tester is not trying to catch you out or deliberately fail you. They will obviously know that you will be nervous and will try to make you feel at ease and relaxed. They would rather see you pass the test then fail it.
