INDEPENDENT DRIVING in the DSA Practical Driving Test
Independent Driving will become part of the practical driving test in the UK from 4th October 2010.
It's tasking the candidate to drive for about 10 minutes, either following a series of directions, following traffic signs, or a combination of both. In short, you will need to follow a pre-determined route without any verbal turn by turn prompting or directional assistance from the Examiner.
On the current practical driving test (Pre 4th October 2010) you will perform a minimum of two set manoeuvres and the additional emergency stop manoeuvre in a ratio of every 1 in 3 candidates thoughout the test day.
When the new practical test starts from 4th October 2010 you will only have to perform one set manoeuvre. In addition, the ratio of 1 in 3 candidates throughout the test day will still have to perform the emergency stop manoeuvre.
PLEASE NOTE: You will still need to practice all the set manoeuvres because the Examiner on the day will decide which manoeuvre you will have to carry out.
The driving test duration will be increased to accommodate the extra time for the independent driving section.
