Practical driving test

A practical driving test is not part of the learning process but a means of checking the outcomes of that learning process. To reiterate, the candidates who come to take a practical driving test must have optimal knowledge and skills. It is very difficult if not impossible to pass the test with minimal knowledge and skill.

One of the main skills assessed during a practical driving test is the ability to drive without assistance, primarily regarding attention to traffic control devices and other road users. Therefore, driving lessons before the test should focus more on general driving directions from the instructor without specifically pointing out traffic control devices.

Students must also make sure they understand how to open car doors, start the car, regulate seats and mirrors and handle other control devices (windscreen wipers, lights, indicators, heating and ventilation equipment). The latter details are often left to the instructor to take care of, but this fails to demonstrate that the candidate is capable of being an independent driver. Cars are different, naturally, but similar general principles and symbols apply.

Before taking the national driving test, it is good to check the requirements provided for in the appropriate regulation. We recommend getting behind the wheel a few days prior to taking your practical test. Driving a car immediately before taking the practical diving test may lead to fatigue and be detrimental to the test results.
