Do you know what to bring to your practical car driving test?

💳 your UK driving licence
✔️ your theory test pass certificate, if you have it
😷 a face covering, unless you have told us in advance of your test that you have a good reason not to wear one
🚗 a car - most people use their driving instructor’s, but you can use your own car if it meets the rules

From 14 July over 4,500 more theory tests will be available

Additional theory tests dates in Scotland
From 14 July over 4,500 more theory tests will be available to book on GOV.UK for tests from 19 July up to and including 3 September.

The additional test capacity has been made available following the Scottish Government’s announcement on 13 July that physical distancing rules in Scotland are being relaxed from 2 metres to 1 metre from 19 July in indoor public settings.

We will be writing to all candidates with a theory test booking in Scotland to let them know about the additional test dates, to give them the opportunity to look for an earlier theory test date if they feel ready to take their test sooner.

Theory tests appointments after 3 September
As part of the ongoing changes to the theory test service the new theory test booking service will go live on 19 July. You and your pupils will be able to book a test for after 3 September on the new booking service.

The new booking service is available at the same web address as the current one – https://www.gov.uk/book-theory-test.

If you want to change a theory test appointment from a date booked for before, or on 3 September, to a date on or after 6 September, you will need to cancel your current theory test on GOV.UK and rebook online using the new booking system.

This is because the 2 booking systems are separate. Refunds will be issued for cancelled tests as normal.

Theory test bookings with additional support can only be cancelled or rescheduled by contacting the customer contact centre.

The second most common reason learners fail their driving test is for not using their mirrors when changing direction.

When does this happen?👇

Normally it’s when the learner hasn’t checked their mirrors properly when exiting or changing lanes on a roundabout. 🔄

The best thing to remember is mirror, signal, manoeuvre ✨

✔️Always check your mirrors before changing speed, direction or signalling.

Practising for your driving test?

1️⃣ The number 1 reason learner drivers fail their test is by not making effective observations at junctions 😱

➡ Are you confident judging the speed of an approaching vehicle?

It’s important when pulling out you don’t cause others to have to slow down or take action to avoid you.

➡ Looking too late? ⏰

You must properly check your surroundings before moving out of junction to make effective observations.
