Before booking your test, you should be comfortable behind the wheel and confident that you can drive without assistance. You should also be able to complete all of the necessary manoeuvres. Once you are ready, your driving instructor will recommend when to book your test. You should double-check that they are available for your test date.
Once your test is booked, it is important to keep practising right up until your test date, to ensure that you are prepared. Take the time to familiarise yourself with all of the local test routes, and do a few mock tests with your instructor. This is a great way to track your progress.
You should also take the time to revise your driving theory, as this can be useful in your test. This is especially important if it’s been a while since you sat your Theory Test. Additionally, you should get plenty of sleep the night before your test, and wear comfortable clothes on the day to ensure you’re not restricted in any way. Good footwear is essential, as certain types of shoes are better for driving than others.
By following these steps, you should be fully prepared to sit your driving test as a safe and responsible driver.
