About this site

practicaldrivingtests.co.uk is an independent guide to the UK practical car driving test: what happens, how it is marked, and how to get ready for each part.

Where the facts come from

Test format, fees, timings, car requirements and marking come from the GOV.UK car driving test guidance, last checked on 9 November 2026. The show me tell me question wording follows the GOV.UK list (Open Government Licence v3.0); the answers, tips and step-by-step guides are our own. Test-day details can change, so check your booking confirmation before the day.
