Read below the new driving test rule coming up in December this year

The UK driving test procedure is being tailored to suit our modern society, as various changes listed below have been lined up to take effect from December 2017

·         You will have to show that you can follow instructions from a sat nav supplied by the examiner.

·         One in five tests will still not use a sat nav, so you will still have to be able to follow road signs as well.

·         It does not matter if you go the wrong way while following the sat nav, providing you do not make a fault while doing so.

·         The amount of independent driving you have to do in your test will increase from 10 to 20 minutes.

·         The requirement to reverse around a corner in the exam is being scrapped, although your driving instructor should still teach you how to do it.

·         Likewise, there is no requirement to do a three-point turn in your test but, again, you should know how to do one.

·         Instead you will have to show that you can perform one of three more common reversing manoeuvres.

·         These include parallel parking and driving in to and out of a parking bay (either backwards or forwards).

·         You will also be expected to show that you know how to wash the windows and use car controls like the wipers or heated windscreens.

·         The examiner will also ask you to answer two questions about vehicle safety. This will include things like tyre pressures and how to check headlights are working.
