Summary: Since the 4th of October 2010 when the DSA introduced independent driving on the test, candidates have only been required to carry out one driving test manuever, as before this date learners would be asked to do two excluding the emergency stop procedure. The change has reduced the chance of commiting a serious driver fault by 50% during a manuever. Having said that, many learner drivers are still failing the driving test during manuevers the only part of the test where the candidate has complete control of what the outcome might be! The reason why I consider manuevers to be the easiest part of the practical car test, is that you know before hand what the DSA examiner requires (you would have been taught the 4 exercises by your instructor), should have practiced each one many times before and dealt with any weaknesses On the day of the test, the examiner would ask you to park the car on the left handside of the road (never try to stop on the right!), tell you which exercise you are required to perform and then you would be told to continue when ready. Even if you are nervous, you should still be able to do this driving skill if you are truly READY for the test. Now that you are taking driving lessons, it is up to you to master the manuevers, no matter what you find difficult, your instructor SHOULD be able to find a way of simplifying it for you. If they can't, find another instructor!
