It is not acceptable to deliberately use unsuitable routes at busier times in order to return late and cause cancellations. Alternatively if examiners are aware of any hazards on routes, ie road works that would knowingly cause delay, these areas should be avoided. Therefore, to comply with DVSA’s requirement examiners should consider modifying the route to avoid returning to the test centre too early. In these exceptional circumstances examiners are reminded that it is still vital that the on road minimum time requirement and the total time of between 38 and 40 minutes is adhered to. However, as already stated, when taking into account all DVSAs requirements the total test time will last between 38 and 40 minutes.ĭespite correct use of a well constructed route occasionally a candidate, because of their ability, experience and favourable traffic conditions will be able to get round the test route more quickly than is normal. Therefore, manoeuvres carried out in the DTC car park count towards the minimum time period. Minimum 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. This means that for category A and B tests, in addition to the above, when taking into account DVSAs requirements, including the manoeuvres and the new test content, the test will last between 38-40 minutes from signing the DL25 to stopping the engine at the end of the test. (iii) in the case of any other test, *not less than 30 minutes’ This additional time requirement is to comply with EU Directive 2003/59/EC (Driver’s Certificates of Professional Competence) (ii) for the case of a test for a licence authorising the driving of a class of rigid vehicle included in the category C1, C, D1 and D, not less than 60 minutes. (i) for the case of a test for a licence authorising the driving of a class of vehicle included in the category B+E, C+E, and D+E, not less than 50 minutes Regulations state that the time during which a person is required to drive on the road is: It is important that, unless the test is terminated, the minimum driving times are strictly adhered to. pass oncoming vehicles, including in confined spaces.pass parked or stationary vehicles and obstacles.keep the right distance between vehicles.drive with the vehicle correctly positioned on the road, adjusting speed to traffic conditions and the line of the road.comply with road traffic regulations and any instruction given by police and/or traffic controllers.communicate with other road users using the authorised means.observe (including the use of rear-view mirrors) road markings, signs and react appropriately to potential or actual risks.pull up on the right and reverse in a straight line.park the vehicle (parallel or in a parking bay forward or in reverse). carry out a controlled stop by pulling up in a designated positionĬarry out one of the following manoeuvres:.brake accurately to a stop where directed, if need be by performing an emergency stop.adjust speed to negotiate left or right turns at junctions, possibly in restricted spaces, while maintaining control of the vehicle.accelerate to a suitable speed while maintaining a straight course, including during gear-changes.move off smoothly when going ahead, at an angle and on a gradient (where possible).adjust the seat as necessary to obtain a correct seated position.Test candidates must demonstrate competence in their ability to complete, without danger to and with due consideration for other road users, the following: Vehicle safety checks: answer vehicle safety check questions.
