Can I talk to the Driving Examiner During the Test

[@elidresner4850]

I spoke to my examiner for my entire test 😂😂

[@dtc_uk]

Great. Did you pass?

[@flintjoe1857]

Talking with the examiner helped calm my nerves a lot. It made the exercise feel more like a normal drive around than a driving test. Passed first time with 6 minors.

[@dtc_uk]

Congratulations on your success. Thanks for sharing

A bit of small talk might help ease the nerves.

[@dtc_uk]

Thanks Colin. I woud agree with you

Stay frosty. Some examiners really hope you fail. They don't want to run out of work.

[@dtc_uk]

Hi there. Thank you for commenting. I don't think examiners want you to fail. Maybe the DVSA does - not the examiners
I knew an examiner who lost his job because he pass rate was much higher than than others

@@dtc_uk Well you can't talk for all of them, certainly not in matters inside the head. I was failed first time but thinking about it, I became a better driver because of it. Most of all I learnt not to be nervous (or friends) with driving examiners. 🥲

I failed my test 4 times 😬

[@dtc_uk]

I failed TWICE and passed on mine third attempt

@@dtc_uk ye I hope I pass on my 5th haha
I bet there’s driving examiners who have failed there 1st test before haha
Unless to be one you need to pass first time 😂😂😂😂

[@JackT21]

@@dtc_uk anyway hopefully will get there not very good at roundabouts

[@dtc_uk]

You don't need to good at anything to pass the driving test. Just drive safely and hope for a bit of luck

What if i ask him for some help through the test since ive never been around the area for my driving test? Like for example, is the 2nd exit past 12?

[@dtc_uk]

Yes, that is perfectly acceptable
