The test lasts about 40 minutes, during which your examiner will want you to drive safely and competently in various road and traffic conditions.

You may also be asked to carry out an emergency stop. Apart from general driving, your test will also include an eyesight test. You will be required to read a car registration plate from 22.5 metres.
