![]() However, we expect that to reduce as examiners become more familiar with the process. ![]() If you took part in the trials of the test, you might have noticed it took a couple of minutes longer than the current test. We've designed it to fit into the current appointment time. This video shows an example of the manoeuvre being carried out.Īs we mentioned in our original announcement back in April 2017, the length of the test won't change as a result of the changes. If a vehicle pulls up in front, the exercise will continue. The examiner will ask your pupil to drive on, and another exercise will be carried out later in the test. If another vehicle pulls up behind the car and stops your pupil from reversing back, the manoeuvre won’t be completed. I’d now like you to reverse back for about 2 car lengths, keeping reasonably close to the kerb. Pull up on the right when it is safe to do so, please. Here’s the instruction that examiners will give to your pupil while they’re driving (they won’t pull over first to give the instruction). Continue to follow the signs until I tell you otherwise. I’d like you to follow the traffic signs for please. Shortly, I’d like you to drive for some distance independently. The instruction given for these will be as follows. Remember, 1 in 5 tests will be following traffic signs, and not directions from a sat nav. Continue to follow the sat nav until I tell you otherwise. I’d like you to follow a series of directions from the sat nav please. Shortly I’d like you to drive for some distance independently. Here’s the instruction that examiners will give when using a sat nav. At this point, the examiner will select and start the route, if it's using a sat nav. The examiner will ask your pupil to pull over before starting the independent driving part of the test. We’ll publish a video about the ‘show me’ questions in September, too. The examiner will be able to ask any of your pupils with special needs to pull in before asking the question, so they can explain what they need to do. If your pupil isn't sure how to do it, the examiner will ask them to pull in when it’s safe and appropriate, and then ask them to find the control. The examiner will ask the question in a location which gives your pupil enough chance to demonstrate the safety check. It can be asked at any time during the test, including during the independent driving part. This question will be asked while your pupil is driving. why it’s important that they do them regularly.In September, we’ll publish a video about the ‘tell me’ questions so your pupils know: I want to emphasise that your pupil will still need to open the bonnet if they’re asked question 12, 13 or 14. The full set of possible ‘tell me’ questions is on GOV.UK. If you'd like to make yourself comfortable in your car now please, I will join you in a moment. The second question will be a ‘show me’ question on the move. Now I’d like to ask you one question about your vehicle and other matters relating to vehicle safety. Here’s the new explanation that will be used. This question will still be asked at the test centre, before your pupil starts driving. The sort of things you’ve been practising with your instructor or accompanying driver. I will ask you to complete one manoeuvre and we may carry out an emergency stop. The test will last about 38 to 40 minutes and will include about 20 minutes of independent driving and various roads and traffic conditions. Here’s the new explanation that driving examiners will give at the start of the test. I want to share these with you, along with some short videos showing some of the changes in action. We’re now starting to train our driving examiners on the changes to the test - including the new instructions they’ll give to your pupils. As we gear up for the changes to the driving test on Monday 4 December 2017, we want to give you some more detailed information so you know what your pupils can expect.
