The test lasts about 40 minutes and includes an eyesight check where you read a number plate from around 20 metres.
Bring your photocard driving licence. If you only have an old paper licence, bring your valid passport too.
Your car must be roadworthy, with no warning lights on the dashboard, and the examiner needs an extra interior rear-view mirror.
About 20 minutes of the test is independent driving, using road signs or a sat nav.
You pass with no serious or dangerous faults and no more than 15 driving faults. One mistake does not automatically end the test.
To keep your fee, change or cancel at least 10 working days before your test. Practise on roads around the centre beforehand.
