  • How old do you have to be to get your test ..? 17 or 18..?

  • @xTheyCallMeJohn Normally, for car drivers, the earliest date your provisional licence can become valid is your 17th birthday. You can apply for the licence up to three months before your 17th birthday however, you will still have to wait until your birthday before you can take your theory test.

  • Help is here for learner drivers. Go to Facebook and look up 'I can't wait to pass my driving test' and you'll find a page with tips and advice, and discussion boards to chat to instructors and other learners. If you're on twitter you can also chat to Liz_DSA for pointers to advice.

  • Failed due to Ind't D'g today (Oct 15, 2010)! Those having to go through ID route, REMEMBER: its safer to miss the destination than to miss a sign for an approaching roundabout WHILE driving at NSL (national speed limit).

    Take it easy. its allowed to miss the target but nothing else (what a stupid test-criterion) !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @raniisc14 Independent driving is not a test of your orientation and navigation skills. It's designed to assess your ability to drive safely while making decisions independently.

    Remember, if you ask for a reminder of the directions, the examiner will confirm them to you.

    If you go off the independent driving route it won’t affect the result of your test unless you commit a driving fault.

  • A examiner said to me a few months ago that crossing hands and even palming the wheel was okay as long as pupil had control. But I wouldnt teach it.

  • @kdark54 no, crossing hands in not allowed as it us inefficiency

  • My driving instructor was telling me that it is okay to cross hands now, just wanting to see if that is true or not. Thank you.

  • 2:35 i keep playing it agian and agian!

  • @izy51 how did it go?

  • So glad I past, knowing I can just get in a car without having to have lessons now, not that I can afford car insurance as i'm getting quotes of £8000, surely with the test becoming more harder over the years it should of made less idiotic drivers, but the insurance companies say otherwise

  • Passed my driving test today whoooooohooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

    Can't wait to get my first car very soon (-_-)

  • @dsagov Ok thankyou for your help !!
