About The Driving Test

The day of the test
On the day of the driving test your instructor will arrange to collect you from a location of your choice allowing plenty of time to reach the test centre.

Please ensure you have all the relevant documents with you:

  • Both parts of your driving licence, photo card and paper counterpart
  • Theory test certificate
  • Letter of appointment
  • Photo ID (passport) if you only have an old type paper licence

York Driving Test Centre
At the York DTC you may not enter the car park more than 10 minutes before your test time. On arrival at the test centre you will reverse with your instructor into a parking bay. Toilets are located within the test centre.

In the test centre take a seat with your instructor and wait for an examiner to come and call your name, check your documents are in order and ask you to sign a declaration that the car is road worthy and insured for test purposes.

The examiner will then take you outside where you will be asked to identify your vehicle and perform an eyesight test by reading a number plate from 20.3 metres, you will then be asked to answer two of the show me tell me questions.

The driving test
The driving test will last approximately 40 minutes, during the drive the examiner will try to ensure that you cover a wide variety of different road conditions. From quiet low speed roads to busy high-speed roads and town or city centre driving. You will also be required to undertake several set manoeuvres (moving off on hills and at angles). The examiner will require you to undertake two of the following manoeuvres and optionally the emergency stop:
  • Reverse parking - behind a parked car or into a parking bay.
  • Reversing round a corner.
  • Turn in the road

The marking system
Faults are recorded by the examiner during the test and are recorded as minor or major driving faults on the test sheet.

Minor faults are recorded as driving faults and you are allowed up to 15 driving faults. More than three faults on any subject may result in a major fault been awarded.

Major driving faults are recorded as serious or dangerous, with just one major driving fault required to fail.

You can be assured that during your driving test you will have reached a standard of driving where you will be able to deal safely and skillfully with any situation that may arise.
