How to pass the driving test

Preparing for Your Test

To Pass the Driving Test you need to know the rules of the road, and have the knowledge and skill to drive competently in accordance with these rules. The test also checks to see if you can drive with due regard for the safety and convenience of other road users.

In order to pass the driving test you should:

  1. Study carefully the Rules of the Road booklet
  2. Seek the assistance of a good driving instructor
  3. Practice as much driving as possible on all types of road
  4. Practice driving in different situations, including driving at night
  5. Only practice on test routes when your test date is imminent.

While you must complete 12 EDT lessons you will need to build up a lot more practice to be able to confidently take and pass the driving test.

Practice, Practice, Practice

Do a couple of mock tests with your instructor. If you can, start and finish at the test centre site to make it feel like the real thing. Make the exercise as familiar as possible to yourself so that it feels like a normal every day drive.

Book your driving instructor to take you on a mock test a week before your test at the same time and day as your real one. This will set the tone and prepare you for the real thing, making you more confident and familiar with the flow of traffic within the area. It will also give you time to correct any errors that come up to give you the best possible chance to pass the driving test.

Prior to your test date try to practice and strengthen your weak points. If reversing around a corner is something you dread, then practice this routine until it becomes one of your strongest skills. Again, if you don’t put in the practice you are preparing to fail. If some part of driving turns into something you hate or dread (i.e. the hill start) you should tackle this by seeing it as a challenge.

Practice Practice Practice. And remember every driver has gone through the same thing you are now experiencing.

Your Car is Important

Before your test you should ensure your car is in good mechanical order.
Check the following:

  • Brakes
  • Lights
  • Tyres
  • Mirrors
  • Screen Wash
  • De-mister
  • Horn
  • L-Plates
  • Insurance
  • Tax
  • NCT (if applicable)

If any of the above are not working properly or are not in order then see to it well in advance of your test. Your examiner might not let you take the test if some of these are not in proper working order.
