OBSERVATIONS!

Good observation techniques - mirror checks, scanning and blind spot checks - are a necessary part of "defensive driving" (driving to avoid crashing).
Your driving test examiner will be watching you closely to see that you perform correct observations throughout the test.
The OBSERVATIONS document will help you become a defensive driver (and to help you pass your test too!)

DRIVING TEST MANOEUVRES

cone The MANOEUVRES document outlines what you are required to do when demonstrating the 3 mandatory manoeuvres (for example, the parallel park is not done between poles any more, but behind an actual car). It's strongly recommended that you get professional driving lessons before attempting the test!

ARRANGING YOUR DRIVING TEST

The document ARRANGING YOUR DRIVING TEST describes how to go about arranging your test.
(Note: authorised driving instructors now conduct Class 'C' [car] driving tests).
