ADI Part 2 Driving Ability Test












The part 2 test is a practical driving test of an advanced nature and is a lot harder than that of the learner test so therefore a high standard of driving is required.
You will drive on a variety of roads including  town driving, rural driving and where possible motorway driving Throughout the test you will deal with different road
and traffic conditions and you will also need to demonstrate the following:
  •     Be able to read a vehicle number plate from a distance of 27.5 metres
  •     Have a good knowledge on basic vehicle safety checks
  •     Drive to a high standard of competence keeping control of your vehicle at all times     
  •     demonstrate a well planned, positive and progressive drive showing high levels of road awareness, anticipation and planning skills
  •     Make progress when safe to do so whilst  adhering to all speed limits
  •     Avoid any undue hesitation
  •     Show a sound judgement of speed, distance and timing
  •     Show consideration and safety towards other road users
  •     Demonstrate the principles of eco-friendly driving
  •     Turn right and left hand corners
  •     Emerge safely from junctions
  •     Meet, overtake and cross the path of other road users safely and take an appropriate course

Also whist on test you will be required to carry out some basic exercises and manoeuvres
  •    Move away straight ahead, at an angle and on a gradient
  •    Stop the vehicle as if in an emergency
  •    Drive in reverse gear and whilst doing so enter a limited opening to the right and to the left with full control, displaying reasonable  accuracy and
    taking full all round observations
  •   Reverse park into a space behind another vehicle within the space of about two cars lengths finishing up parallel and close to the kerb. Throughout
    the manoeuvre, the candidate needs to be displaying reasonable accuracy and taking full all round observations.
  •     Or Reverse into a car parking bay where again the candidate needs to be displaying reasonable accuracy and taking full all round observations.
  •   Turn the vehicle around in the road to face the opposite direction by the means of using forward and reverse gears under full control whilst displaying
    reasonable accuracy and taking full all round observations.

To pass
To pass you must not accumulate more than six driving faults. Seven or more driving faults or one serious or dangerous fault will result in a fail. You are limited
to three attempts at this test within two years of passing the ADI part 1examination. With the correct training and by putting in the practice and making this a
natural style of driving, then the part 2 can be very easy.

Tell me show me questions
At the beginning of the test you will be asked 5 tell me show me questions. For each incorrect answer you will have one driving fault recorded therefore it is vital
that you study the questions and answers thoroughly.
