The practical driving test report is used by your examiner to mark every aspect of your driving ability. Every candidate is assessed according to the same report, so it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s worth knowing what to expect so that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re fully prepared.

In the concluding part of the series, Book Theory Test Today looks at further criteria.<\/span><\/p>\n

#18 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Junctions \u00e2\u20ac\u201c <\/strong>Your approach, speed, gear selection, road positioning and observation will all be assessed when tackling a junction. You need to remain vigilant and watch out for cyclists and motorcyclists.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re turning right keep as close to the centre of the road as possible and avoid cutting corners. When turning left, remain a reasonable distance over to the left and don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t swing out.<\/span><\/p>\n

#19 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Judgement \u00e2\u20ac\u201c <\/strong>Book Theory Test Today<\/strong><\/a> says: <\/strong>No! Not the Biblical kind, but your ability to assess a situation and react safely. Judgement is a critical part of your practical driving test and hesitancy or dangerous manoeuvres could result in an instant failure. Every move you make needs to be done safely. A good example would be overtaking another vehicle, knowing when and how to do it safely will be a good test of your judgement.<\/span><\/p>\n

#20 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Positioning \u00e2\u20ac\u201c <\/strong>Executing a perfect manoeuvre during your practical driving test is all about positioning.

At every crossing you should prepare to slow down and stop if there are people on the crossing. You will score well if you show courtesy to pedestrians, provided it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s safe to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n

#22 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Awareness & Planning \u00e2\u20ac\u201c <\/strong>Book Theory Test Today says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Always be watching<\/strong>, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the most crucial part of your practical driving test.
