The test includes a number of manoeuvres including reverse on the right side of the road, reverse parking, reversing or driving forwards into a parking bay and an emergency stop.

The route taken will include many different road and traffic conditions from busy town centre driving, fast dual carriageways to complex multilane roundabouts.

For a period of about 20 minutes during the test you will have to drive independently. The examiner will either ask you to follow a preset sat nav route or will ask you to follow road signs to a particular location. If you go the wrong way you will not be penalised as long as you do it safely. You may ask the examiner to repeat his instruction if you are unsure of the directions or you forget where you are going.
