The standard UK driving test is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes long.
Here's a breakdown of how the time is allocated:
- Driving test (40 minutes): This is the main part of the test where you'll be assessed on your driving skills. You'll be asked to perform a variety of maneuvers, such as reversing, parking, and turning.
- Eyesight test (a few minutes): This is a quick check to ensure you meet the minimum eyesight requirements for driving.
- Vehicle safety check (a few minutes): You'll be asked to demonstrate your understanding of basic vehicle safety checks, such as checking the lights and tires.
- Explanations and feedback (around 15 minutes): After the test, the examiner will give you feedback on your performance, explaining what you did well and what areas you need to improve.
While the test is generally around 1 hour and 15 minutes, it can be slightly longer or shorter depending on factors like traffic conditions and the examiner's assessment.
