Changes to the driving test are coming, but no dates have been announced yet. Drive Fareham will keep our pupils updated when further announcements are made.<\/p>\n
After trials runs and consultations, the expected changes are likely to include:<\/p>\n
Increasing the existing \u2018independent driving\u2019 part of the test from 10 to 20 minutes.
\nDue to a huge increase in use of GPS technology, following sat-nav directions will be included in the independent driving section of the test.<\/p>\n
For the first time, one of two vehicle safety questions (better known as \u2018show me, tell me\u2019) will be asked when the candidate is driving.<\/p>\n
But a relief for many, as the dreaded \u2018reverse around a corner\u2019 manoeuvre, plus the \u2018turn in the road\u2019 will be replaced with what are considered more real-life driving scenarios, such as driving into and reversing out of a parking bay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
