Car for Driving Test in Belvedere
When a practical test at Belvedere is booked, the DVSA will automatically send out an email confirmation. Many learner drivers fail to read this important document. Besides many other things, the email states that the candidate must bring UK driving licence, theory pass certificate and a car.
Use of the Driving Examiners Car
Unlike some countries, the driving examiner at Belvedere or the DVSA will not allow the candidate to use their cars. The email confirmation from the DVSA stipulates that a learner must bring a car. It further states that many learners use their instructor’s car. In the UK, the instructor is the person who teaches. They are not allowed to examine. The examiners are employed by the Government and it is the job of the examiners to decide if you pass or fail.
Use of the Driving Instructors Car
Most learner drivers in the Belvedere area take their instructor’s car to the test. However, most driving instructors will only allow a learner who they have taught from the beginning to use their car in the test. Some instructors will allow other pupils the use of their car provided they have taken several lessons from them or drive to an exceptionally high standard.
Use of a Car Rental Company
Car Rental Companies in the UK will not allow the use of their car for the purpose of the driving test. This is for insurance purposes. If you have an international driving licence, you may be able to hire a car. However, the DVSA will not allow you to take a test in a hire car unless it is fitted with dual controls.
Using Your own car in the Driving Test
You may use your own car in the test at Belvedere, even if it is not fitted with dual controls. However, the learner must make sure that they are insured to take a practical test in that car. You are strongly advised to check with your insurance company. Driving without insurance is a very serious offence for which the learner can be disqualified. You must also ensure that the car is taxed, MOTed, fitted with L-plated and has an extra rear view mirror for the examiners use. Fully details regarding taking your own car are available on Gov.UK.
