Test Tip Of The Month For Basildon

Always get to the test centre 10 to 15 minutes early. You are allowed to drive in 5-10 minutes before the test starts. At many test centres, it gets congested. By getting in the test centre car park as early as possible, you can get the best parking bay, in case you are asked to do the bay park manoeuvre.

Useful Driving Test Tip For Basildon

The examiner will ask you to pull up on the left at a safe place at least once during the test. Be wary when they ask you to do this, make sure your thinking cap is on! They often ask you this when there are hazards about, such as bus stops, double yellow lines, lots of junctions etc. They aren’t trying to trick you; they are just checking to see if you understand where is safe and not safe to pull up on the left.

Frequently asked questions...

A common question we're asked is what happens during your first driving lesson. You may have spoken to friends or family who have given you some ideas. Here is our list of what generally happens during your first driving lesson:

  • Eyesight test and checking your provisional licence
  • Quick Q&A on any previous driving experience
  • Your instructor will drive you to a quieter area depending on where you live
  • Show you the controls and make sure you are familiar with them
  • Moving off and stopping
  • Lesson debrief, feedback and drive home

Your driving instructor will tailor their driving lesson to your specific needs and progress you at a pace that suits you, so you may find you cover more than the above if you are a quick learner.
