From October 4th 2010 the Driving Test will have undergone a few minor changes in the way its assessed..
During the course of the test you will be expected to show the examiner you can drive for a 10 minute period without receiving any verbal instruction at all..
You will be given a set of instructions that require you to follow a specific set of road signs or markings, or you'll be given a simple set of diagrams to follow.
Dont worry about going the wrong way, or missing a turn..The examiner will simply ask you to keep going, and he'll get you back on route as soon as is practical...If the road signs are not visible or hard to see, he will still prompt you.
Or if you want anything clarifying, again you can ask for confirmation...
If you're reading road (as you should be) there's no problem...Its designed to to encourage you to become totally independant, so when you pass your test, thats exactly what you'll carry on doing when you're out driving by yourself
I've been teaching this aspect of driving for several years
