Independent Driving Test?
When you ask for the directions for the second time, the examiner will repeat then for you.
During the independent driving test, the examiner will provide the student with all the necessary instructions. In case the students get lost along the way, they will be required to confirm the instructions from the examiner.
Because this is not a navigation test, getting lost along the way will not have any influence on your final result. If the vehicle that you are driving has a Sat Nav device, then you should turn it off mainly because you are not going to use it during the test.
Students cannot use Sat Nav devices for independent driving because it gives one turn by turn prompts. The independent driving will test the ability of the examinee to make independent decisions.
The Sat Nav driving test
The examiner will ask the student to take instructions from a configured Sat Nav independently. The Sat Nav will include the route that the student will be required to follow. The make or model used during the examination will not matter mainly because the test route will the same. In case the students takes a different route, then the examiner will advise accordingly. However, we highly recommended the Tomtom 52 mainly because it is what examiners use while examining driving tests to students.
You can't use your own sat nav device during the test.
