DSA Practical Test
The
driving test is conducted by a Driving Standards Agency
Examiner and lasts between 38 - 40 minutes. The routes
are used to include a typical range of traffic and road
conditions and starts and finishes from your local
Driving Test Centre, on average you drive for about
8-miles during this period. The Examiner tests your
ability to ride safely and competently and tests you on
all that you have learnt during your lessons. You can
fail the test if you commit a serious or dangerous
fault, or if you have 15 or more driving faults.
During the test you will
have to complete three manoeuvres: putting the bike on and
off either its main or side stand, a u-turn whilst riding
the bike and whilst pushing the bike and an emergency stop.
Immediately after the test the Examiner will advise you
if you have passed or failed. If unfortunately you have
failed you will be advised where you went wrong and
given a printed sheet with the details. This sheet will
be useful to show your motorbike instructor to assess
what further training is required. You can apply for
another driving test straight away providing 10 working
days has elapsed between each test.
New
changes to the Practical Test will be introduced on the
1st September 2003. The changes will be conducted at the
beginning of your Driving Test and will consist of the
examiner asking you two of the following questions on
vehicle safety checks. One or both questions answered
incorrectly will result in one fault being recorded on
your test.
