DSA Independent Driving Test Video

http://www.drivinglessonsnorthwestlondon.co.uk/

The DSA is changing the driving test in October 2010 by introducing independent driving as a requirement for all test candidates.

This video from UKADI trys to simulate what you might be asked to do and how a learner driver might react. The route used here is not exactly what might be used in Oct 2010 by the dsa examiner, also note that there is an option of showing the learner a diagram which they might have to follow.

You can always ask the examiner for directions at anytime if you are not sure where to go, or have forgotten.

@sholao Will this cause more test fails ???

[sholao]

@2010petrolhead it means you need additional preparation for the 10 minute independent driving element, and there will be some peope who might initially be taken by surprise.

With as handy tools as GPS (every other drivers take so much far granted), this ID thing is such a useless intimidating tool! I failed due to this and rethinking taking it again.

[LFCEOIN]

yeh so i failed mainly cus i couldnt get out of the test centre without stalling :(

[trevdrum82]

I won't get that ten minutes of my life back.

@hamsta891 Use the handbrake if you come to a stop for more than a few seconds. Otherwise it could count as a minor.

[Xenctuary]

@SimplyOverDone Don't worry if you take a wrong turn on independent driving. They can't fail you for it.

[Xenctuary]

@multipinkpolkadot A stall can be a serious fault if it causes inconvenience to other drivers. Learn how to recover calmly, safely and quickly from a stall. Do not take your test if you keep stalling.

@raniisc14 Wait, what? You failed on independent driving? That must have meant you carried out a serious driver error. You CANNOT fail on independent driving if you take the wrong turnings. It does not matter if you are instructed to follow signs to the town centre, but end up going in the opposite direction. It is a test of your driving skills, not your navigation skills.

How slow is she i could walk faster and why does she always pull the handbrake.

[starandheart]

@multipinkpolkadot Yes, only 1 minor fault though :) Not sure if you were to stall a number of times during your test, I'll have to check with my instructor as my test is next week!

Nice one mate where was it you passed I'm booked in at rugby on 7th at 8:40am

[xXAd4MXx]

Watched this before my test at 1Pm today, passed with 4 minors (had the strictest examiner there according to my instructor) One of the minors was for doing 20MPH in an apparent "advised" 20MPH zone. Pretty much news to me, the others where just as bad. Anyways thanks for this video, fucking helped alot!

[ash104]

OMG turn the wipers off lol!

[multipinkpolkadot]

if you stall do you get marked down for it?

[GraveD1gger]

There is an examiner in the boot tapping in morse code "let me the fuck out!"

[SimplyOverDone]

damn.... if my driving instructor said that i'd be like "okay sir ill just get out of the car since i can't retain all those directions"

[ripperchunk]

I don't know why so many people are getting worked up over this element of the driving test. It is straightforward to me, you will be doing this in 'real life' and should add to your driving confidence not lessen it. You will probably fail if you are going to fail through lack of preparation or if you generally fall apart from nervous tension. Then that's upsetting but not the end of the world. Yes the Gov is making money but What's New???
