Melton Mowbray – Driving Licence Checks

The driving test Melton Mowbray practical test centre will start with the examiner checking your provisional driving licence. You will then be asked to sign a declaration to confirm that you have lived in the UK for at least six months and that you bought a car to the test is insured for you to drive. The driving examiner will then conduct an eyesight test. Following this vehicle safety question will be asked.

Melton Mowbray – Reversing Exercise

The drive from the practical test centre will last approximately 35 to 40 minutes. During this time you will be asked to carry out one reverse manoeuvre. As the practical test centre has a car park, there is a high likelihood that reverse park manoeuvres out right at the beginning of the driving test. If not, the driving examiner will choice of either requested parallel Park exercise or the spot on the right side of the road exercise. It is extremely important that you continuously make all-around observations before and during the reversing manoeuvre. More learner drivers fail on the observations than on the manoeuvre itself.

Driving Independently

Just over of the driving test will involve the independent driving section. During this section of the test, the examiner is satnav on a mat which will further be placed on the dashboard of the car. You will be requested to follow directions given by the time.  Alternatively, you may be requested to follow road signs to a set destination. The driving will involve many different road systems such as roundabouts, crossroads and both open and closed junctions. A is also a possibility that you will end up on fast-paced roads such as the A606 and the A607.

When you book your last-minute intensive driving lessons, you will have the choice of learning in an automatic or a manual car. Last year alone, there were over 1.7 million driving tests conducted. Out of these, only about 30% were taken in an automatic car.

Manual or Automatic Intensive Driving Lessons

It’s easier to pass your driving test in a week by taking an automatic car compared to a manual. This is because you don’t have the extra task of changing gears, especially on approach to junctions such as roundabouts. This, in turn, means that you will have more time to focus on the speed and observations on the approach to such junctions. Once you’ve passed your driving test in an automatic, you will be restricted to driving only automatics. However, you are most welcome to upgrade to a manual license by retaking and passing another test.
