Car for Driving Test at Pinner

Many learner drivers are turned away from the Pinner Practical Test centre due to not have a car that meets the DVSA requirements. Some actually turn up at the test centre without a car at all.

Using the Driving Examiners Car

A handful of candidates turn up, every week, at the Pinner driving test car without a car for the test. They are under the impression that the driving examiner will allow them to use their cars. This is not so. The DVSA or the driving examiner at Pinner will not allow any test candidate to use their cars.

Using the Driving Instructors Car

The DVSA suggest that most learner drivers use their driving instructor’s car for the practical test. The driving instructor must not be confused with the driving examiner. Driving Instructors will allow their pupils to use their car for the test, provided it is available. It is, for this reason, that learner drivers should inform their instructor as soon as the practical test date has been booked. Driving instructors in the Pinner area are usually prebooked between 4 to 6 weeks in advance.

Automatic or Manual Car for Test

You may take your practical driving test in a manual or an automatic car. The decision is totally the candidates. However, if a learner driver passes in an automatic car, they will be restricted to driving only automatics. However, If the learner passes in a manual car, they can drive both. That’s 2 driving licenses for the price of one.

Using Your Own Car for the Test 

If you have access to your own car, this can be used in the driving test. You may also use a car which belongs to a friend or family member. The car does not need to be fitted with dual control, However, it must be roadworthy and meet all other DVSA requirements. The car is also expected to be fitted with L-Plates and an interior rearview mirror for the use of the driving examiner.

DTC Driving Test Car Hire Services

You may use a rental car for the test provided it is fitted with dual control and insured. DTC UK offers an emergency car rental service which comes with a qualified driving instructor. Our instructors are familiar with the Pinner driving test routes and available at only 24 hours notice.
