Independent driving explained E-mail

From 4 October 2010, learner drivers will be tested on independent driving as part of the practical driving test. During their test, candidates will have to drive for about 10 minutes, either following a series of directions, following traffic signs, or a combination of both. To help candidates understand where they’re going, the examiner may show them a diagram. It doesn't matter if candidates don't remember every direction, or if they go the wrong way - that can happen to the most experienced drivers

If the candidate goes off-route during the independent driving section, the examiner will get the candidate back on route and continue with the independent driving section wherever possible. The test won’t be terminated.

If the candidate looks like taking a wrong turning, the examiner will control the situation as they do now and preferably step in before the candidate goes off route. If that’s not possible, the examiner will help the candidate get back on route as soon as possible by guiding them with normal directions.

Independent driving is not a test of the candidate’s orientation skills. If the candidate goes off route, but does not commit a fault, there’s nothing to assess. Any faults that did occur would be assessed under the circumstances at the time - as usual. There is no change to assessment

Making you safer, saving you money and helping you to be a responsible road user.

On average, over 80 people a day are killed or seriously injured in road accidents. Most of these accidents are caused by bad driving - not the vehicle, the road, or the conditions

Advanced Driving is not about slowing you down on the road. It's about helping you to become better at predicting hazards and making your driving smoother, more controlled and ultimately safer. It's also about using less fuel - saving you money and helping to save the environment by reducing CO2 emissions.

The Advanced Driving Test was designed to contribute to road safety, and the facts prove that it has worked:

  • Nearly 70% of drivers who received Advanced Driver Training showed significantly safer skills in a number of key areas. Brunel University, 2006

Good News for you, your passengers, and other motorists

  • Advanced Drivers enjoy lower motor insurance costs.

Recognising that advanced drivers are safer drivers, many insurance companies offer IAM members lower insurance premiumsl. The IAM have arranged special insurance discounts

  • Smoother driving uses less fuel and saves wear and tear on tyres and other mechanical components

You'll save money and help protect the environment by reducing exhaust emissons

  • Advanced Drivers should be less likely to incur penalty points for bad driving

Protect your licence and avoid wasting money on unnecessary fines

  • To prepare you for the IAM Advanced driving test.

The cost to prepare you for the test is £150.00, this covers six hours lessons
