Before your driving test, tick these off your list. 📝🚗

Test day nerves are normal, but this checklist means you’ll have one less thing to worry about.

Here's what you need to bring with you to your driving test:

✅ Your UK driving licence. If you have a licence from Northern Ireland, you need to bring the Northern Ireland photocard, paper counterpart and theory certificate (if taken in Northern Ireland).

✅ A car that meets the rules, whether it's your instructor's or your own.

Are You REALLY Test Ready? 🤔🚗🏁

It's one of the most common questions driving instructors get.

The easiest way to find out? Ask yourself this...

Does your instructor, parent or supervising driver still:

❎️ Tell you when to change gear?
❎ ️Remind you to check your mirrors? 👀
❎ ️Tell you when it's safe to pull away?
❎ ️Explain road signs?
❎ ️Remind you of the speed limit?
❎️ Tell you to slow down or stop?
❎️ Help you correct your reverse manoeuvres?
❎️ Guide you through spiral roundabouts?
❎️ Help you merge onto dual carriageways?
❎️ Talk you through difficult junctions?
❎️ Help you with the sat nav?
❎️ Step in to keep you or others safe?...the list could go on!

If you answered yes to any of these, you're probably not fully ready yet.

Remember, the driving test isn't about being perfect. But it is a risk assessment about proving you can drive safely and make safe decisions independently without any HELP.

Passing by the smallest margin might get you a licence, but would you genuinely feel confident driving on your own the very next day?
