Independent Driving - The Facts

From October this year the DSA will be introducing a new element to the driving test for learner drivers - Independent Driving.

Up until now, during the drive on a test the examiner gives directions throughout the entire route - for example "take the next road on the left", and "turn right at the roundabout taking the third exit". This helps the learner by making it absolutely clear where they need to go but it doesn't test their ability to work things out for themselves or follow signs.

When surveyed, most new drivers said that after passing their test the biggest problem was that suddenly they have to think for themselves, not only about the control of the car but also the route. Independent Driving is designed to give the learners chance to do a bit more for themselves.

It will last for about 10 minutes during the test and the examiner has a number of ways to test the candidate. She/he may ask the candidate to "follow the signs for....", or perhaps show then a small diagram of where they want the candidate to drive to and then ask them to drive there. It isn't too much of a problem if you forget some of the directions or get lost - even the most experienced of drivers can do this, but generally the new element to the test will be looking for the candidate to be able to drive, on their own for a short time making their own decisions regarding route, positioning etc.
