Crucial Highway Code Tip (Rule 239)

When parking, you MUST switch off your engine and set the handbrake if you leave your car. This is critical for both safety and local environmental standards (e.g., anti-idling rules).

Show Me/Tell Me Test Practice

The Examiner asks (Show Me Question – While driving):

“When it’s safe to do so, show me how you’d wash and clean the rear windscreen.”

The Correct Answer:

Locate and operate the correct stalk/switch for the rear wiper/washer (often pushing or twisting the stalk away from you). You must state that you’d only do this when it’s safe and you’re in control of the vehicle.

Driving Lessons in Wokingham

It’s natural to feel slightly nervous on the day of your driving test. Don’t let this worry you too much. Stay calm and drive as you have been driving with your driving instructor, don’t drive any differently just because an examiner is sitting next to you.

Always check your mirrors and indicate before stopping or moving off during your driving test. Look carefully over your shoulder to check your blind spots. Failure to do the latter will most certainly get you a minor fault mark, and could be potentially hazardous to other road users.

Don’t look down at the gear stick when you change gear during your driving test. You should always keep your eyes on the road, constantly scanning the far, middle and near distance.

Always indicate correctly and in good time, this helps other road to know your intentions.

Do not stop at every junction during your driving test unless it is necessary. For example, if you stop at a roundabout when it’s obvious that you’re clear to go, you may pick up marks for hesitancy. However, where the road sign tells you to “Stop”, you must do so.

Don’t get too close to stationary vehicles or obstructions. Always keep a look out for pedestrians stepping out onto the road.

Driving Instructor in Wokingham

If you have to overtake cyclists during your driving test, give them plenty of clearance (about the width of an average-sized car). Don’t follow them too closely.

When reversing, keep looking round for road users. Never continue reversing as another road user is passing.

Use your mirrors before you change speed (up or down), change gear, stop or move off and whenever you change direction in your driving test.
