HOW TO PASS THE DRIVING TEST IN NORTHERN IRELAND.

IT'S ABOUT SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST THE PHYSICAL ACT OF DRIVING.
THERE ARE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW AND BE AWARE OF THAT WILL DEFINITELY HELP.

SO THE ANSWER ISN'T AS STRAIGHT FORWARD AS MOST MIGHT THINK.
THE DVA NORTHERN IRELAND TITLE THE TEST AS THE 'PRACTICAL DRIVING TEST' BUT A MORE ACCURATE NAME SHOULD ILLUSTRATE THAT IT IS A 'DRIVING STANDARDS TEST'.

SO WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO?
DRIVING A CAR IN A BASIC SENSE CAN BE LEARNED IN A RELATIVELY LOW NUMBER OF LESSONS. CO-ORDINATING YOUR HANDS, FEET, OBSERVATION AND OTHER MOTOR SKILLS ALLOWING YOU TO DRIVE ISN'T THAT DIFFICULT. THE HARD PART IS LEARNING TO DRIVE AT THE CORRECT STANDARDS TO
  OBTAIN A PASSING STANDARD.
FOR EXAMPLE, THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED A DRIVING STANDARDS TEST IN ANOTHER COUNTRY OFTEN MISUNDERSTAND THAT THE STANDARDS IN THEIR HOME COUNTRY WILL BE THE SAME AS NORTHERN IRELAND. IN SHORT, THE STANDARDS IN NORTHERN IRELAND ARE HIGHER THAN A LOT OF OUR EUROPEAN NEIGHBOURS AND HIGHER AGAIN FOR INTERNATIONAL COUNTRIES.
