Driving Lessons Gloucester- How is your Driving Test Marked?

Your practical driving test will be conducted by a Driving Examiner from the D V S A (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency.) These are expert examiners, who have undergone rigorous training, and whose standards are frequently checked. The system is in place to ensure that the roads are as safe as possible, and it is a fair way of seeing that we all have the required skills.
The D V S A examiner will use a marking form known as a DL25. There are numerous sections on this form, for each main requirement of driving, and faults will be recorded as they occur.
Minor faults are now referred to as driving faults and you can commit 15 driving faults and still pass. If you commit 16 faults, however, you will fail. Should there be habitual driving faults, these will eventually accumulate into a serious fault, which is also a failed test.
Just one serious fault, or one dangerous fault is a test fail.
A serious fault is any action that is potentially dangerous.
A dangerous fault is any action that is actually dangerous.
These must be avoided to achieve a pass.

When you start your driving test, the DL25 will be a clean sheet, so you must do your best to keep it that way. Faults will only be added as they occur, so you must keep them to a minimum. Do not worry if you think you have made a fault, the examiner may decide differently, so just drive on positively, with the aim of passing the test.

Listen to your driving instructor, he really has a wealth of knowledge to help you through the test.
