Curious about what happens during a driving test? Here's what to expect on test day.

An eyesight check 👀
You'll read a number plate from 20 metres away or 20.5 metres if it's an old-style plate.

'Show me, tell me' vehicle safety questions 💭
You'll answer 2 questions about vehicle safety. The 'tell me' question comes before you start driving and the 'show me' question while you're on the move.

General driving ability ✅
You'll drive on a variety of roads, but not on motorways, including 20 to 35 minutes of independent driving, following either a sat nav, traffic signs, or both.

Reversing your vehicle 🚗
You'll be asked to do one of the following: parallel park, park in a bay, or pull up on the right and reverse 2 car lengths. Your examiner will let you know which one.

Knowing what's coming can make test day feel a lot less daunting.

Looking to start driving lessons? 🚗

Learning to drive is exciting but knowing where to start can feel overwhelming. Luckily GOV.UK makes it easy to find DVSA approved driving instructors – just enter your postcode to see who's near you. ✅

Autumn's here and with it comes more rain. ☔

Before the next downpour catches you out, brush up on your wet weather driving skills.

Remember to:

✅ Keep well back from the vehicle in front.

✅ Ease off the accelerator and slow down gradually if the steering becomes unresponsive.

✅ Watch out for any spilt diesel.

✅ Take extra care around pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders.
