Provided the examiner doesn’t work out of their `home’ area, they can use any of the books of pass certificates issued from any test centre in that area. If an examiner is working on detached duty in another area, they should draw DVSA10s from the DTC and return them to the DTC on completion of the detached duty. Issuing of DVSA10 comply with road traffic regulations and any instruction given by police and/or traffic controllers At the end of a test the examiner should offer the candidate a brief explanation of the faults marked on the DL25. This de-brief should aim to give the candidate a `word picture’ of their driving, including all serious and dangerous faults recorded and a selection of repeated driving faults. If a candidate fails on an accumulation of more than 15 driving faults then all the faults need explaining.

In general driving, a blind spot mirror will provide better all-round observation, especially in difficult to see areas such as the blind spot. If you intend on changing lanes for example, blind spot mirrors aid in your ability for observing cyclists or motorbikes that are often difficult to see. They also provide a valuable source of observation when it comes to taking the driving test. Driving test manoeuvres involve reversing and it is of course difficult to see where you are going. Blind spot mirrors will aid observation in the: Examiners should ensure their instructions are absolutely clear. Candidates must not be left in any doubt about the route to be taken. Directions should be given in good time, especially where marking of traffic lanes indicate an option. At complex junctions and gyratory systems, a request simply to turn right or left may not be enough to indicate the route clearly. adjust speed to negotiate left or right turns at junctions, possibly in restricted spaces, while maintaining control of the vehicle With the exception of motorcycle module 1, ADI part 2 or 3 and driver CPC module 4 - all practical test pass results are automatically sent to DVLA. Those candidates who hold a GB or registered with DVLA EU/EEA photo card licence can have their new licence sent to them.

Benefits of a blind spot mirror

Note: it is not a legal requirement that the head restraint is adjustable, but the passenger seat head restraint must be fitted as an integral part of the seat. ‘Slip-on’ type head restraints are not permissible. Additional information on rear seat belt use: The orange car can be seen in the red cars right door mirror and perhaps slightly in the interior mirror. The yellow car is completely out of sight from the driver of the red car as it is in his blind spot. Let’s take a look at the 3 cars in the diagram driving along a motorway. Every car has 2 blind spots each side of the car as suggested by the blue shaded areas coming from the red car in the diagram. The blue shading is the area that the driver of the red car cannot see into simply by looking into the mirrors alone.

A DL25 should be issued, the D255 must be completed, and a copy attached to the DL25b, these should be retained in a file in the DTC for inspection by the LDTM. The emergency stop must not be given on a busy road or where danger to following or other traffic may arise.

The blind spot

In the appropriate boxes insert the application reference number and the numerical part of the driver number (middle 6 numbers) followed by the date and time of test. A mowing machine or pedestrian-controlled vehicle - category K – is a specialist, ride-on, grass-cutting vehicle with permanent cutting equipment. You must be 16 years old to drive one of these vehicles. Before you can apply for a provisional licence for a category G you must hold a full category B driving licence. Record (if available) the ADI’s personal reference number and certificate number from the ADI’s certificate displayed on the vehicle’s windscreen. An examiner’s suspicions may also be aroused if a consistently poor standard of candidate is brought forward by a particular driving school or instructor, or if they see instruction being given in a school car not displaying an ADI certificate or trainee licence.

The MAM is the limit on how much the car can weigh when it’s loaded. It’ll be in the car’s handbook. Tax and insuranceMinimum on road time is measured from when the vehicle starts moving at the beginning of the test to when the engine is stopped at the conclusion of the test. Therefore, manoeuvres carried out in the DTC car park count towards the minimum time period. However, as already stated, when taking into account all DVSAs requirements the total test time will last between 38 and 40 minutes. If at any time prior to the eyesight test it transpires that a candidate is without their glasses, or has the wrong ones, they should be told that, if they take and fail the eyesight test, their driving test will be recorded as a failure. If the candidate elects to continue the examiner should proceed with the test in the normal way Additionally the Regulations required the candidate to act correctly and promptly on all signals given by traffic signs and traffic controllers, take appropriate action on signs given by other road users and demonstrate appropriate signals in a clear and unmistakable manner. In the case of a vehicle with a left-hand drive or of a disabled candidate for whom it is impracticable or undesirable to give signals by arm, there is no requirement to give signals which cannot be given by mechanical means. Your car must be smoke-free - this means you cannot smoke in it just before or during the test.
