It was so much easier before the lockdown where you could say ok you’re ready for your test and six or so weeks later the test is on. My wife’s very kind very easy going and very stubborn. I feel bad for her instructor and hope she puts her foot down if she still doesn’t feel she’s ready I will absolutely back her up 100%.

I keep saying to trust your instructor she wants you to be a safe driver as I do too, but she’s saying I’m starting two hours lessons now. Her instructor has advised her to move the test for sometime in December.

Even my wife’s done the same with her instructor ( she’s doing auto ) she’s worried her theory runs out soon. Then it becomes a battle to get them ready and they can sometimes feel really offended if you have to tell them they must move the test, something I really don’t enjoy telling them too. I do tell them not to book a test until they’re ready and that’s why the waiting times are so long the system is being clogged with people who aren’t ready yet.

The main reason for this is most of my pupils are now announcing they’ve booked a test themselves at a very early stage because they’re worried about the waiting times. In the past six or so months I’m finding it really difficult to get people to the standard I feel good about. I’ve got to be honest I’ve never really been one to tally up my pass rate but more concerned about the overall quality of the pupils I’m presenting for test, I tell my pupils if I was to keep taking people who aren’t ready for test and get a bad reputation at the test centre it would look bad on the ones that are ready having the examiner think oh no it’s one of Sean’s, I’m just going to carry on that frame of mind, sometimes things happen. I use a different coloured pen each time so the pupil can take it home to ponder on it then hopefully see the improvements on the next one. I still use photo copies of an old test sheet an examiner gave me years ago. I already do mock tests but I’ve never done real training on it so was great to watch, I’m going to watch it again. Thanks for this webinar and Q&A session and all the other information It’s been really interesting and helpful. In this 16 minute video, you can watch the opening presentation that we gave at the start of each of the webinars. We recorded 3 of the webinars and you can now watch these back. I completely understand how busy you are and that it was not possible for most ADIs to come along to one of the sessions. Watch the presentation and question and answer sessions I found it all very interesting - being able to listen to questions and answers so that we can make it an easier conversation with our pupils about getting our points across - using the correct words/terms when doing mock tests and our everyday teaching. It certainly will contribute towards a collaborative, partnership, approach moving forward.Īlthough I have sat in on tests it's not something I have positioned positively with students, however understanding that you are encouraging this practice has already changed my attitude.

The dialogue opened up the different perspectives and priorities from ADIs and from DVSA. Here are some of my favourite comments that we received.

Since I last blogged, we’ve run 4 webinars with over 1,000 driving instructors to tell you more and answer your questions. Positive feedback from our mock test webinars

If you have not had chance to take a look at the guidance yet, I’d encourage you to take time to do it soon.

So far, the new guidance about how to carry out mock driving tests for your pupils has been viewed over 20,000 times.

1 in 10 people who fail the driving test say they failed because of their nerves.

1 in 5 people who fail the driving test incorrectly think it’s because they were marked too harshly.

In June, I blogged about the work that we’d been doing at the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) to create guidance to help driving instructors carry out mock driving tests.
