What to Expect on Test Day

Upon arrival, you will meet a driving examiner who will guide you through the initial process. The first step involves a number plate eyesight test conducted from a distance of 20.5 metres.

Remember to arrive no earlier than ten minutes before your scheduled test time. Once you pass the eyesight check, you’ll comfortably move into the vehicle. Your examiner will ask you to demonstrate knowledge about the car's features and may ask a "tell-me" question.

It’s a good opportunity to show your familiarity with the vehicle. Your driving test will last approximately 40 minutes, during which you will navigate the Airdrie area independently which will last around 20 miles.

The test not only assesses your driving skills but may also include a specific manoeuvre, and possibly the emergency stop.

Test examiners at Airdrie have the discretion to stop the test if necessary. By enrolling in driving lessons, and our online driving course you’ll build the necessary skills and confidence and knowledge to pass on your first attempt.


Handling a Test Failure

If you do not pass your driving test, there’s no need to worry about extended waits for a re-test. Just focus on the areas where improvement is needed with the help of a driving instructor by getting driving lessons in or around the Airdrie area or you if your learning with family you can buy our online course which will have a structure to target what you are looking to gain confidence on.

If you did have a test cancelled for any reason or failed then try not to worry about it, use the app I use to jump the waiting list. Practice the skills you have learned, continue honing your driving abilities, and schedule your next driving test without excessive delays. This proactive approach will keep you on track towards obtaining your driving licence.
