Driving Test Change - Independent Driving

Thought about getting another job?

Maybe you have just turned 17 and think you have all the time in the world?

Or is it getting too difficult doing the shopping without a car?

Don’t be put off by the scaremongering about the Driving Test changes in October of this year! The driving test will change. At the moment, the driving test involves 40 minutes of being given directions but INDEPENDENT driving will be introduced into the Driving Test from October 2010. This will mean that as well as being given directions there will be 10 minutes where you will be asked to either follow a route or a simple map for approximately 10 minutes.

At Beverly Slater School of Motoring – these changes will NOT have a big impact on our learner drivers, as we have ALWAYS taught our learner drivers to be SAFE and CONFIDENT drivers, including driving independently. We may not have given our learners a map to follow, but once they have mastered the basics and to build confidence, pupils usually drive home after only a few hours of tuition!

We do not expect our high Pass Rate to change, nor the number of lessons required to pass your test to increase.


REMEMBER: At Beverly Slater School of Motoring

we have ALWAYS taught you to be a Safe, Confident driver and not just to pass your test!
