Practical

When attending for your practical test you must bring the following items with you - if you don't, the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) may refuse to carry out the test and you may lose your fee:

* an appropriately insured and licensed vehicle, displaying L-plates, that is suitable for the purpose of the test
* your appointment letter
* both parts of your photo card licence - if you don't take both parts of your licence, your test will not take place and you'll lose your fee
* if you have an old-style paper licence, you must take your signed driver licence and a valid passport - no other form of photographic identification will be accepted

If you misplace your driving licence, you must apply for a replacement from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), which could take up to 15 days. If this happens, you may have to rearrange your test

Your driving test will start with an eyesight check and some vehicle safety questions. You will then start your practical driving test which will include some specific manoeuvres

The driving part of your test will last about 40 minutes. Throughout the test your examiner will be looking for an overall safe standard of driving, including when you are carrying out the set exercises. You can make up to 15 driving faults and still pass the test (16 or more results in failure). However, if you commit one serious or dangerous fault you will fail the test
