In the event of an unsuccessful 1st Driving Test

Instructor Consultation

You must speak with me before booking your second test so I can confirm my availability.

No automatic free test

The free second test is not guaranteed; eligibility depends on meeting the conditions below.

Required additional lessons

You must take further lessons with me after an unsuccessful test to work on the faults identified. 

Substantial improvement

You must demonstrate clear and consistent improvement in the areas that caused the Unsuccessful result

Typical examiner advice

Examiners usually recommend around five lessons with an Approved Driving Instructor between attempts (this may vary depending on the faults).

Instructor approval

The free second test is only granted once I am satisfied you are driving at a safe, test ready standard.

Priority Scheduling

Test dates take priority in my diary, so consultation is essential to avoid clashes and cancellations.

Failure to meet conditions

If any of these conditions are not met the offer of a free second test offer will not apply.
