5 Signs You’re Ready to Book Your Driving Test

5 Signs You’re Ready to Book Your Driving Test

How to be sure you’re ready to take the plunge? Here are five clear signs that you’re test-ready — and how we help you make that decision with confidence.

1. You Drive Without Prompting

If your instructor barely needs to prompt you anymore — and you’re consistently making safe, independent decisions — you’re on the right track.

2. Manoeuvres Are Polished

Whether it’s bay parking or pulling up on the right, you can perform all required manoeuvres calmly and safely, with good observation. That’s key to passing!

3. You Handle Roundabouts and Junctions Smoothly

You read road signs, judge gaps safely, and don’t hesitate or rush. That means your road awareness is strong — a big green flag.

4. Mock Tests Are Going Well

If you’ve passed one or more mock tests with 0–5 minors and no serious faults, you’re probably ready. Even if you didn’t ‘pass’ every time, steady improvement is a great sign.

5. You Feel Calm and Capable

Confidence doesn’t mean perfection. If you feel calm, in control, and able to recover from mistakes, you’re likely ready to face the real thing.

Bonus Stat

DVSA data shows that learners with 40+ hours of instruction and private practice tend to perform better on test day.
