Practical Test

About the practical test

The practical driving test is for you to show an external examiner what you have learnt and to determine that you can drive safely without supervision on the roads.

This is a fairly straight forward test and takes around 40 minutes.

When will I do my practical?

Here at David Sewell Driving School we will not suggest you take your practical test until we believe you are ready.
