Part 2 - Driving Ability

As part of the driving ability test, you are required to complete an eyesight test; this is carried out in the same way as the normal driving test, i.e. by reading a vehicle's number plate. After this, you and the examiner will enter the car where the instructor will explain what is required in the test.

The examiner will expect you to show a very high level of understanding and knowledge of all aspects of driving, including:

	Road procedure
	Your knowledge about and control of your vehicle
	Good judgment of speed and distance of yourself and other road users
	Anticipation of the actions of pedestrians and other road users

You will also be required to carry out specific manoeuvres such as:

	An emergency stop
	Turning the car in the road using forward and reverse gears
	Reverse Parking
	Meeting and crossing other road users
	Overtaking
	Reversing the vehicle left/right into a limited opening
