HOW TO BOOK A DRIVING TEST & PASS IN NORTHERN IRELAND.
IT'S ABOUT MORE THAN JUST DRIVING.
THERE ARE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT WILL HELP.
THE ANSWER ISN'T STRAIGHT FORWARD.
THE DVA NORTHERN IRELAND TITLE THE TEST AS THE 'PRACTICAL DRIVING TEST' BUT A MORE ACCURATE NAME SHOULD ILLUSTRATE THAT IT IS A 'DRIVING STANDARDS TEST'.
WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO?
DRIVING A CAR IN A BASIC SENSE CAN BE LEARNED IN A RELATIVELY LOW NUMBER OF LESSONS. CO-ORDINATING YOUR HANDS, FEET, OBSERVATION AND OTHER MOTOR SKILLS ALLOWING YOU TO DRIVE ISN'T THAT DIFFICULT. THE HARD PART IS LEARNING TO DRIVE AT THE CORRECT STANDARDS TO OBTAIN A PASSING STANDARD.
FOR EXAMPLE, THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED A DRIVING STANDARDS TEST IN ANOTHER COUNTRY OFTEN MISUNDERSTAND THAT THE STANDARDS IN THEIR HOME COUNTRY WILL BE THE SAME AS NORTHERN IRELAND. IN SHORT, THE STANDARDS IN NORTHERN IRELAND ARE HIGHER THAN A LOT OF OUR EUROPEAN NEIGHBOURS AND HIGHER AGAIN FOR INTERNATIONAL COUNTRIES.
WHATS DOES THAT MEAN FOR YOU AND YOU LEARNING TO DRIVE?
WITH US YOU CAN RELY ON THE FACT THAT WE WORK REALLY HARD TO GIVE EACH PUPIL THE SKILLS THEY NEED TO MEET THE NORTHERN IRELAND DRIVING STANDARDS TEST REQUIREMENTS. ROAD SAFETY, AWARENESS, PLANNING, OBSERVATION, MANOEUVRES AND EVERYTHING ELSE YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE FULLY PREPARED BEFORE TEST DAY.
