FAQ
Bring your provisional driving licence and glasses or contact lenses if you need them for driving — the same things you'd need on real test day. Your instructor provides the dual-control car, so there's nothing else to organise.
Yes. A mock test shows you whether the faults that cost you last time have genuinely been fixed. Your Houghton-le-Spring instructor will recreate test conditions, record any faults exactly as an examiner would, and tell you honestly whether you're ready to rebook — potentially saving you the cost of another failed attempt.
As realistic as we can make it. Your instructor stays silent during the drive except for directions, records faults on the same basis a DVSA examiner would, and includes independent driving. Learners regularly tell us the mock felt harder than the real test at Sunderland — which is exactly the point.
The session runs as close to a real DVSA test as possible. Your instructor directs you along a pre-planned route on town centre and country roads and assesses your driving in silence, just as an examiner would. That covers general road driving, independent driving, junctions and roundabouts, manoeuvres, speed awareness, lane discipline, observation, and planning. Afterwards you get a full debrief.
