What Happens on the Day
On the day of your driving test, make sure that you have your photocard driving licence with you. If you have an old style paper licence, then you must also take a valid passport for photo ID. Without these you will not be able to take your test.
You can take the test in your own car if you wish. Just make sure that it is taxed, insured and everything is in good working order. You must also provide an extra rear-view mirror for the examiner to use. Make sure that your L plates are clean, and correctly positioned clearly in view – NOT in the windows!
Arrive at your test centre in good time, but not so early that you get in the way of other test candidates. About ten minutes before your test time is about right. Just park your car, and make your way to the waiting room with your licence and wait for the examiner to call your name.
