The Driving Test or The Testing Drive?

by 5 Star 17. May 2010 20:00

As a learner driver you will have one goal when taking driving lessons and that is to pass your driving test and become a full licence holder allowing you the freedom to drive unsupervised.

The driving test will last for approximately 45 minutes and the examiner will expect you to drive to a safe standard on a variety of roads and also to carry out a range of manoeuvres one of these being a turn in the road. The examiner will then choose another manoeuvre for you to carry out, it maybe a reverse round the corner, a bay park or a parallel park. You may also be required to perform an emergency stop aswell.

By learning with a DSA licenced driving instructor such as those with 5 Star Driving Academy you will significantly increase your chances of passing the driving test as we know how to teach and coach you upto the required standard in as little time as possible. Infact we sometimes even manage to go that extra mile and have students pass their driving test not only first time but with NO DRIVING FAULTS at all!.

Everyone starts their driving test with a clean score sheet so in theory everyone starts their driving test already passed. Its only by making driving faults throughout the drive do you start moving towards a fail. If you make the same driving fault continually then it becomes a serious or dangerous fault which means you have failed your test. Your driving instructor will explain how the scoring system works in more detail before you take your test

In the past 2 months we have had 2 students pass their test with ZERO Faults which is a fantastic result for both the driving instructor and student. This just goes to show that with hard work and commitment to your driving lessons then the driving test should infact not be a testing drive but more an enjoyable and chance for you to demonstrate your driving skill to the examiner.

We would like to send out a big congratulations to Jay James and Rickie Bowdler who both passed with ZERO faults
