While you wait

Guides for the wait

Months between you and your test is time you can use. No filler, no jargon, and GOV.UK linked wherever the official wording matters.

What the examiner asks about the car at the start of a UK driving test and while driving, what the answers are, and what happens if you get one wrong.

Test day: what to bring and what actually happens

What you must bring to a UK driving test, what the car needs, the eyesight check, and how the 40 minutes actually run.
