Your practical driving test will start with an eyesight check and some "show me",
"Tell me" questions. Providing that you pass the eyesight check you will then
be taken out on the road to complete the test, this is to check your general driving ability, you will also be asked to carry
out some of the maneuvers that you have been taught. Your driving test will take about 40 mins. Your
