ADI Part 2 - Driving Ability

The part 2 test is a practical driving test of an advanced nature and is a lot harder than that of the learner test as 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 need to demonstrate the following:Be able to read a vehicle number plate from a distance of 27.5 metresHave a good knowledge on basic vehicle safety checksDrive 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 skillsMake progress when safe to do so whilst adhering to all speed limitsAvoid any undue hesitationShow a sound judgement of speed, distance and timingShow consideration and safety towards other road usersDemonstrate the principles of eco-friendly drivingTurn right and left hand cornersEmerge safely from junctionsMeet, overtake and cross the path of other road users safely and take an appropriate course

Whist on test you will also be required to carry out some basic exercises and manoeuvresMove away straight ahead, at an angle and on a gradientStop the vehicle as if in an emergencyDrive 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 observationsReverse 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 under full control whilst displaying reasonable accuracy and taking full all round observations.

Independent Driving
During the driving test, the examiner will navigate you step by step however, for the independent driving section of the test, the examiner will ask you to drive by either following a series of directions, following traffic signs, or a combination of both. To help you understand where you are going you might be shown a diagram. If you take a wrong turning or forget, don't worry as this is not a test of your navigational ability but to see how you make your own decisions along the route. This would
include asking for confirmation if needed.

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 to make 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.
