Hello there, my name is Shaq. Quite frequently I asked a question. Which is
when is the best time of the day to do a driving test? I thought I make a quick
video to answer these questions. Now in my opinion, if you are ready for your
test, the time should make no difference at all. However, there are a few things
that you may want to take into account when you book your driving test. If you
have taken all your driving lessons on a particular day and a particular time. For
example, let's say you've taken all your lessons on a Sunday morning at 8 a.m.
and then you were to book your driving test
on a Friday afternoon let's say 3 p.m. You would definitely be in for a shock.
The road and traffic conditions will be completely different to what you are
used to. Another thing that you may want to take into account is that Danish
scientists has recently found that the ability to perform basic tests decreases
throughout the day. According to these scientists, you have a 5 percent better
chance of passing your driving test at 8 o'clock in the morning than you do at 3
p.m. in the afternoon. Now before you all decide to book your driving test early
in the morning, there is something else that you may want to take into account.
The early morning tests are more likely to be cancelled than at any other time
of the day. Driving tests are cancelled by the DVSA
usually for two reasons. Firstly the examiner may phone in sick. So if the
examiner phoned the office at let's say 7 o'clock in the morning and said I'm not
coming into work today. I'm not feeling well. it may take the DVSA
one, two, maybe three hours to arrange alternative cover. Those tests from seven
o'clock to let's say ten eleven o'clock will be canceled and rearranged. Also,
during the winter months the early morning tests are usually cancelled due
to ice on the roads. Throughout the daytime as a temperature rises, the ice
clears and the driving tests are conducted the tests that are conducted.
During the rush hour tend to involve less driving. However, there is more
start/stop traffic, more clutch control and a lot of mirror work. The driving
tests that are taken off peak hours, let's say between 10 o'clock and 2
o'clock will involve less traffic. It may seem easier but the exam that
will take you further afield covering more dual carriageways and multi-lane
roundabouts. Regardless of what time your test is, if you drive positively and
safe, you will pass your driving test. Please like and subscribe share with
