Practical exam in 3 phases
The practical test begins with a "first phase" carried out in a private yard, consisting of checking the driver's ability to prepare for safe driving:
- adjusting the seat to the correct driving position;
- adjusting the rear-view mirrors, seat belts and headrests;
- checking that the doors are closed;
- knowing how to check or correctly use at least two devices, chosen at random from tyres, steering, brakes, audible and visual warning devices, and knowing how to check the oil levels.
Then a "second phase" will follow, consisting of some manoeuvres between the cones, both in reverse and forwards.
The "third phase" will be driving in traffic.
