Training Offered

From October 2010 the D S A are introducing a new " Independent Driving " element into all practical driving tests. Candidates will be asked to drive for about 10 minutes without step by step instructions to show they can make decisions by themselves. They will follow a series of verbal directions, or following traffic signs or a combination of both. The reason for this is to broaden the practical driving test so it is more reflective of real life driving. The 10 minutes of independent driving will apply to all categories of tests however on the B test ( car ) the reversing maneuvers will be reduced from the current two down to one. If the candidate goes off route during the independent drive provided they do not commit a fault, they will not fail, nor will the test be terminated. When following traffic signs a candidate approaches a junction which is either not signed or the sign obscured the examiner will intervene and say " there are no signs here so please just continue" , then after the junction they will say " Now carry on following signs to ...." If the candidate forgets where they have been asked to go all they have to do is ask for a reminder of directions and the examiner will be happy to tell them.
