Test Tip Of The Month For Cardiff

If you make a mistake on your driving test, don’t look into it too much. There is nothing you can do. It’s behind you now; focus on the road ahead. There have been many occasions where pupils have thought they have failed the test and passed because they have taken this advice.

Useful Driving Test Tip For Cardiff

With so many potholes on the roads today, make sure you check your mirrors before you go around them. Try to identify the potholes more than 100 metres away, check your interior and door mirror in good time, then recheck them just before you change direction.
