Mock Driving Test

Once you feel that driving has reached the standard required to pass the practical test, you might want to consider a mock test. This basically mirrors what will happen on the day of your actual driving test. Your instructor will start the mock test in exactly the same way an examiner would start the test. The mock driving test will start from either Horsenden Lane or Whitten Avenue East in Greenford. You will cover some of the difficult junctions and roundabouts used by the examiners. 

It will last for approximately 35 to 40 minutes just like the real test and include one reverse maneuver and the independent drive. The instructor will not help you unless it was a real safety issue.

You may feel nervous before your practical driving test but this is natural as many do not know what to expect and doubt whether they are fully prepared. However, if you took a mock test, this will prepare you for your real driving test as you would have driven under the exact condition during your mock test.

The DTC driving instructor that will conduct your mock driving test will know exactly what happens on the DVSA practical test and will, therefore, be able to make it as realistic as possible.

The main objective of your mock driving test is to assess your driving ability strict DVSA under test conditions. You will be assessed to see whether you are a safe and competent driver who has full control of their vehicle. Anything that you may be asked to do on your DVSA driving test will be included in your mock driving test. Your DTC instructor will be checking to see with you follow the rules when pulling up on the left and moving off, and how you cope with demanding situations such as changing lanes at some of Greenford’s large roundabouts.

At the end of your mock driving test at Greenford, the instructor will give you the result. You would be told whether you would have passed or failed if it was a genuine test. Remember the mock test is a part of the process of preparing you for your actual test so the result is unimportant, so, you shouldn’t take your result too seriously. What is important is that you pay attention to the feedback which will be given. Remember, mock driving tests are great for finding out your strengths and weaknesses. If your instructor pulled you up on poor mirror work, then you know exactly what you need to work on during the build-up to your test date.

The price of the mock test in Greenford is £120. This is a two-hour session. During the first hour, the instructor will conduct the mock test nad the second hour will be used for the correct of mistakes, if any and to further improve your driving
