Changes to driving test 6th April

New rules come into force on the 6th April to enable voluntary observation on a driving test by the driving instructor / person bringing a candidate for test.

In the Waiting Room:

The examiner will ask, “Would you like your instructor/accompanying driver to accompany you on the test and be there for the result and end of test feedback?”.

If the customer says “No”, the examiner will ask, “Would you like your instructor/accompanying driver to be there at the end of test for the feedback?”
“Thank you, will you lead the way to your car please.”

End of Test – pass / fail

The examiner will say, “Please switch off the engine and give me a moment to complete my paperwork.”

If the test was not accompanied and the instructor/accompanying driver comes over to the vehicle to listen to the conclusion of the test, the examiner will confirm with the customer that they want their instructor/accompanying driver present.

At Beep driving school stockport we will discuss this with each of the learners well before the day of the test so that each person can decide for themselves if they would like us to sit in on the test.

Please feel free to contact us if you would like to talk this through with us, why not use the contact box on www.beepdrivertraining.co.uk
