Driving Examiners
The Driving Standards Agency currently charge £56.50
for a weekday driving test, £67 for Saturdays and weekdays
after 4.30pm (3.30pm in some areas). For this you get an examiner with a clipboard for
about 45 - 50 minutes.
Although the examiner is a highly qualified and expert driver,
often a former driving instructor, the examiner is not responsible
for your actions during the test.
As the candidate you are expected to provide a suitable, roadworthy
and fully insured vehicle not the examiner. If the examiner is not
satisfied with the condition of the vehicle (light not working,
damage to tyre, no passenger head rest, etc.) the test will not
be conducted and the test fee will not be refunded by the Driving
Standards Agency.
ADT Driving instructors
Your instructor will also be a highly qualified and expert driver.
Your instructor is responsible for your actions whilst driving.
Your instructor will provide the vehicle which is comprehensively
insured for any driver regardless of age or experience.
The vehicle is reliable, well maintained, fully air conditioned
and less than twelve months old. (Incidentally car mechanics charge
£75 / hour on average.)
The best way to find out what we are like is to book a 2 hour introductory
lesson for £30.
