The practical test is in two parts – 3a Off Road. (this needs to be passed before being able to go onto part 3b) And 3b on road

What is involved?

Training depends on pervious experience and is normally 2- 3 or 4 days. Due to the 3a and 3b element needing to be passed separately training may be split over a number of days.

The 3b test you will need to be able to reverse like an ‘S’ shape into a restricted area (marked out with cones) If you take this test with a trailer you will also need to uncouple and re couple.

Its a fine line between a pass and a fail, so plenty of practice is the key. Its recommended that a full day is devoted to the trailer element (b+e)

The On Road exam will be 1 hour and the examiner will be looking at the following >>


  • Move away and stop safely 
  • Use of mirrors and all round effective observations 
  • Move away at an angle up and down hill
  • Good forward planning
  • Good awareness and anticipation of all road users including pedestrians etc.
  • Use of indicators
  • Make good progress with appropriate speed
  • Use all the controls correctly
  • 10 minutes of independent driving
