Test Tip Of The Month For St Ives

If you notice the examiner marking something on the marking sheet, don't panic! There are other elements of the test that they need to mark, which doesn't mean you have received a recorded fault. They have to mark down when a manoeuvre, hill start, angled moving off, and more are completed.

Useful Driving Test Tip For St Ives

Remember, when approaching relatively clear big roundabouts, you should be in third gear or lower. If you are still in fourth, fifth or sixth with the clutch down, you are coasting. Change to a lower gear and continue to brake if necessary. Most big roundabouts should be third gear. Most mini roundabouts require second gear. This rule should serve you well most of the time.
