It is important that you are familiar with the DSA basic car maintenance show me tell me questions that are asked not just for the benefit of passing the practical driving test, but more for your own safety once you get the pass certificate.

Knowing your tyres meet the minimum requirements, brakes are working, de-misting windscreen or using fog lights could help prevent an accident and injuries when you buy your own car. Do not just rely on breakdown services like the AA, RAC or Green Flag to bail you out.

This driving video highlights the forthcoming changes that the DSA will be making to the driving test in April and October 2010.

The april test change will not even be noticed by many candidates but the introduction of independent driving to the test in october 2010 is a major change that could see a drastic drop in the pass rate and could even be considered unfair since candidate will need to remember a series of instructions which could be a problem for those who might have learning difficulties.



Please note that the route used on this driving video is not an actual dsa one for the hendon or mill hill centres.

If you need extra help or want driving lessons in london to prepare for the test or practise the independent element of the assessment, then give me a call.

It would have happened to you before during driving lessons, cars very close behind you tailgating and thus you should not be surprised if it also happens when the DSA examiner is assessing you for a full British licence.

The most important thing is how do you deal these situations, without making a mistake. Hopefully in this lessons video you will find a useful tip or two, but what ever you do, make sure it is safe according to the DSA rules and not what commonly happens in the real world.

This driving school video deals with being aware of road signs and markings during your driving lessons.

While most learner drivers will notice things like speed limits, traffic lights and some road markings, there are many signs which while not giving the driver instructions, will have valuable information on them, and one of these could save you from failing the driving test. Get into the habit of taking note of signs as you go past them while out in your car practising.
