Independent Driving Test

Starting 4 October 2010, Independent Driving Test results will be taken into account while judging a candidate’s ability to drive a motor vehicle. Until now, the practical test always had an examiner sitting besides and directing the candidate. However, most novice drivers, when on their own, find it difficult to drive alone without any help to guide them.

A 10 minute Independent Driving Test will require the candidates to drive to a pre-decided destination following traffic signs, a series of verbal commands or a combination of both.  They will have to drive alone without any help from the instructor.

The test does not determine the candidate’s orientation or navigational skills but the ability to drive alone & safely relying upon their own decisions.

Even the most experienced drivers are not expected to remember every direction. Therefore, it does not matter  if the candidates miss their mark and go the wrong way. To aid them, a diagram may be at their disposal to show them the right way.

The Route:

If the candidates ask for a reminder of their route, the examiner will help them.

If the candidates lose their way and set on a completely different route, it will not affect their results, unless there was a driving fault.

If the candidates lose their way, the examiner will help them get back on the ‘correct’ route.

In case of poor traffic signs, the examiner will help with the directions until the next proper traffic sign.

Use of Sat Nav’s are not allowed as they give turn-by-turn directions, which spoils the whole purpose of the test.
