THE DRIVING TEST IN Perth
Varied roads are to be taken during the test from Perth Driving Test Centre. Initially starting in Perth itself, the test often covers rural country roads and high speed ‘A’ roads such as the A9 dual carriageway. Rural roads although quiet, represent one of the most hazardous roads due to a combination of high speed and harsh corners.
To gain a better understanding of speed on rural roads, see the country road driving tutorial. The driving test is to include a single test manoeuvre (the choice of manoeuvres is for the examiner to decide) with the emergency stop procedure being likely having a 1-in-3 possibility of being requested.
Practical driving tests for cars now include independent driving. This takes around 10 minutes and simply involves following a basic map displayed by the examiner whilst stationary, following road direction signs or a combination of both. The examiner will require around 10 minutes of independent driving.
Test centre routes are designed by the examiners who conduct practical tests at their local test centre. The routes are designed in such a way so to involve as many diverse roads and traffic systems as possible, often including very challenging parts. Gaining knowledge of the test routes provides valuable insight into the type of roads that will be taken during your test. Driving test routes may be available to view or a downloadable app for your mobile device in your area, including Perth Driving Test Centre.

I had Julie for my test, completely understand her professionalism with being careful as it's a daunting experience for both people in the test. But she really shattered my confidence when she shouted at me to put the breaks on when I was about to. Then from there I just melted. I got a major there and then and knew it. Then when we were on a country road that I didn't see fit to do 60mph as there was alot of bends, someone was really close behind me and she told me pull over safely, on a country road? With a car behind me? And to quote her reasoning why 'Get him out your hole' completely unprofessional there and my instructor at the time agreed. At one stage I had to pull over when we were in a small town so I could breathe and calm down. She then failed me further on overtaking a bus, because I should of stayed in that lane? It wasn't safe to stay behind a bus so close? At the end once we arrived back she asked me if I wanted my feedback shared with my instructor and I really didn't but she proceeded to do so.
