Rural roads represent one of the most demanding road types for all drivers. See the country road driving tutorial for advice. The testing examiner will also be assessing your ability at busy town roads and systems such as roundabouts, crossroads and various junction types.

After driving long way from Devon and taking 5 attempts in London. I took the test today at Dorchester and the examiner failed me this morning. She failed me with 1 serious fault and 6 minor faults. I suffered from severe financial consequences from an unsympathetic DVLA examiner. Spending over 3,000 pounds with 150 driving hours, two theory test attempts and 6 driving attempts but I do not have a full licence to drive. As a result, I face up with many life hardships. My life depends now on the bus and trains services in the village where has one bus and train for every two hours. Do UK DVLA examiners understand many hardships of driving learners face when they failed learning drivers so many times? Before becoming a driving examiner, they also took a test with a hope to pass the test and met the unsympathetic examiner. I feel hopeless to live in this country.
Took my 2nd test hear. My tester was realy lovely and made me less nervous. I thought I had failed when I stalled but she told me to relax and take my time and then at the end told me I had passed.
