Your Practical Drivers License Test will look at your general driving or machinery operating skills

When you arrive for your Practical Drivers License Test you will meet your RTA Frontline Driving Authorised Testing Officer.

They will have a general discussion with you about your knowledge of the vehicle or machinery

After this they will watch you do an inspection of the vehicle before the practical drive or machinery operation occurs

During your practical test the Authorised Testing Officer will look at the following:

• Pre-Drive Check
•  Specific Driving Situations - where you are going to be driving or operating the machinery
• Vehicle Operation
• Hazard Recognition and your decisions about these

If you make a serious safety mistake such as not stopping at a Stop Sign or Red Traffic Light the Authorised Testing Officer may stop the test and you will need to come back another time
