The actual driving part of the test will last for approximately 40 minutes.
During this time you will follow instructions from the examiner for roughly 20 minutes, and for the other 20 Minutes you will drive independently, using a Sat Nav, or following road signs. You will be asked to perform One manoeuvre, and possibly an emergency stop.
You will also be asked One of the 7 ‘Show Me’ safety questions, and you will be expected to give the answer whilst driving. However if you are struggling to find the correct control, you may pull up safely, find the control, and then move off again, before showing the answer.
