must identify approaching hazards as quickly as possible.You cannot

| Practical Test |
The practical driving
test is taken with a DSA examiner which usually lasts about 45 mins.
The examiner will take you on a route designed to test your driving
skills. You will also have 2 or 3 of the slow manoeuvres to demonstrate.
You are allowed some minor driving faults which the examiner will
record on your test sheet - but any serious or dangerous driving
faults on your test and you will fail! About 90% of test failures
occur at junctions or roundabouts so take special care at these
hazards.
