Summer Driving Test Tips
Sun, heat, and more hazards — summer driving tests have unique challenges. Here's how to handle them.
- Sun glare can be blinding — bring clean sunglasses (not tinted too dark)
- Check your windscreen is clean inside and out
- Stay hydrated — dehydration affects concentration
- More cyclists and pedestrians in summer — extra mirror checks
- School holidays mean different traffic patterns — quieter near schools, busier at leisure spots
- Air conditioning can be loud — turn it down so you can hear the examiner clearly
