Practical test
What is the practical test?
When you take your test, it's important to drive a car that's reliable and that you feel comfortable in. The car must also meet the legal requirements. This is easy if you choose to take your driving test in a BSM car, because all this is taken care of. And, of course, your BSM instructor will come to the test centre with you.
If you want to take the test in your own car, you'll have to make sure that the car is legally roadworthy. This means it must have a valid MOT certificate if it's over three years old and it must be fully insured. The examiner will ask you to sign a declaration that your insurance is in order before going ahead with the test. If your car doesn't meet all the stipulated regulations, your test will be cancelled and you'll lose the test fee you have paid. Find out more about the regulations at www.dsa.gov.uk.
