Your Questions On 'Driving Test Questions' Are Answered Here>

Can someone tell me what I can expect in the theory and practical side of a driving test. How long roughly do both last, how many questions do I have to get right and what sort of things do they look for in both areas. I'm looking at taking my test soon so any up-to-date answers only would be much appreciated.

I'm thinking about taking my driving test in my own car. However, my car has tinted windows, would I still be able to take my test in that car? Also, would the examiner need to check my insurance papers to see if I am insured?

When you take your practical driving test in the UK, the examiner usually asks 2 questions, a "show me" and a "tell me." What are the penalties for getting 1 or both of these wrong, is it an instant fail? :/ thanks in advance!

I have my driving test in the morning and was wondering if anyone has suggestions for calming ones nerves ? I'm not dreading it by any means though I would rather have it over with !

No anti-Brit sentiments please... I just want to kick off a discussion about the driving test, how it could be improved, and whether sitting it seven times is normal. The British (car) practical driving test involves two safety questions, at least two manoeuvres, at least one roundabout and a heck of a lot of driving around. It currently costs £48.50 sterling. The candidate can fail for earning one serious or dangerous fault, but he/she can have a maximum of 16 minor faults. Sorry for any confusion.. I failed 6 times; my next one will be my 7th... I am paying for lessons... have been since 2003. First instructor said that I wasn't ready for a test. Second instructor was a d*** (also a trainee); failed three tests with him; 16 minor faults, 15 minor faults and 10 minor faults. Third and current instructor is good... failed three tests with him though... 8 minor faults, 7 minor faults and 3 minor faults. In the fifth test, I went past the two car length maximum for parallel parking (result = failture). In the sixth test, I hit the kerb several times in the left corner reverse. In the last two tests, I was so close to passing

I have my driving test in a couple of weeks and i'm just wondering what things to read up on etc? And also are there any little tips you can suggest... Obviously im not wanting tips to ''trick'' the examiners but just genuine tips, possibly things people often forget etc??? yes i have done my theory passed first time.

I have my driving test coming up.

The optician says I am `borderline` and my driving instructor says `i'll have to see on the day` - is there some way I can find out for definite whether my eyesight is good enough to pass my driving test?

I have been learning privately in our family car , can I sit my driving test in our car?

How many times have you sat your driving test and have you passed?
