clear instructions just as your driving instructor gives on your
lessons.
If you did not hear correctly then ask the examiner to repeat the
direction. Listen carefully, do as asked focusing on the
procedures that you have been taught. If you make a mistake just
carry on what you think is a fail, may not be!

Ensure that your instructor has given you the go ahead. If not
any instructor has the right to refuse the use of their car on
the day. DO NOT take it upon yourself to book, the examiner is
not a driving instructor and there policy is to let pupils
commit before intervening in a dangerous situation.
Too many pupils ask us to just allow them to have a go. Under no
circumstances will we put someone’s life at risk all pupils
should be ready on the day.
