Ensure that your instructor has given you the go ahead. If not any instructor has the right to refuse the use of their car on the day. DO NOT take it upon yourself to book, the examiner is not a driving instructor and there policy is to let pupils commit before intervening in a dangerous situation. Too many pupils ask us to just allow them to have a go. Under no circumstances will we put someone’s life at risk all pupils should be ready on the day.
