From the 4th of October 2010, driving test candidates will be required to drive independently for about 10 minutes using either road signs or following a series of verbal instructions (which can be backed up with a diagram) or a combination of signs and instructions.
This driving instructor video gives practical advice and tips on how to deal with this new driving test requirement.

Driving Lesson - Meeting traffic
In this short driving lesson video I want to illustrate a common reason why people fail the DSA driving test, failing to deal with a meeting traffic situation safely.
Don't rush towards on-coming vehicles especially large HGVs or buses even if you have the right of way, as they tend to use their size to barge and intimidate other road users including learners displaying 'L' plates.
Driving Test Changes 2010
This driving video highlights the forthcoming changes that the DSA will be making to the driving test in April and October 2010.
The april test change will not even be noticed by many candidates but the introduction of independent driving to the test in october 2010 is a major change that could see a drastic drop in the pass rate and could even be considered unfair since candidate will need to remember a series of instructions which could be a problem for those who might have learning difficulties.
