As a result of the DSA's Learning to Drive Consultation, as from 6th April examiners will ask all candidates if they would like their instructor to sit in on their test. There are various benefits for instructors sitting in :
Instructors will gain a clearer idea about what is expected of their pupils on test and they will gain an insight into how the test is conducted. In addition, instructors will be able to learn test routes and locations for manouevres.
Candidates often fail to fully listen to the debrief (because they are either upset at having failed or are so excited at having passed that they don't listen to the explanation of any faults). They may also be unclear as to how, why or where a particular fault occured.
Examiners will get the chance to build a better working relationship with instructors.
It will obviously be up to the test candidate as to whether he/she wishes to have an observer present.
Further changes such as Independent Driving will be introduced into the Driving Test later this year.
