There are a couple of myths are surrounded while it comes to the practical driving test. That often told from the candidates who attended the past. Since 1935 when first driving test conducted, myths have been spreading till today. These kinds of myth also applicable to getting an early driving test date. In case of emergency, many candidates are failed to get an early driving test due to long waiting line until someone cancel their driving test date. If you are looking those cancellations then you can contact at testfinder.co.uk and book you early driving test date. Now, in this article, I am going to share some myths about the practical driving test.

Weekly Quota Myths

We all have heard about examiners quota myths when it comes to the driving test. But in reality, there is no such thing as “examiners quota” though examinees are monitored by the DVSA to make sure that ratio of the pass and fails. For an example, if five candidates participate in a test and four of them has a percentage of 40% and other has 60% pass rate, then DVSA will look into this matter and examine why the pass rate is fluctuating. So “Examiners have the weekly quota” this myth is not true.

Fail Due to Crossing Your Hands

A couple of years ago this rule was applied, but in a modern driving test, this rule is not applicable. How candidates held their hand's wheel doesn't matter anymore. You can hold the steering wheel as like as you want in modern days because at the end of the day it matters how you control the car.

Fail the Test for Stalling

This might be the most paradoxical ‘myth' of all. A couple of stalling is fine during the driving test. It is providing the practice to recover in a safe manner. But if you constantly stalling then you might be in a trouble and this can be the end of your driving test.

Examiners are Being Rude

Another myth is often spread around that examiners are very rude and hate their job. This might be true sometimes, but this could happen in any job. In reality, most examiners are so courteous and professional. Sometimes they might be a little rude but that doesn't mean that they are obsessed with their job. They do that to remain neutral for the testing purposes.

The Learners are Beyond Penalties

That's not also true. You are a learner, that doesn't mean you are free from penalty points, speeding that a license holder can receive. Hence, it can be worse than that. The penalty points added on a provisional license period can impact after passing the test. This can be a threat of being canceled the license.

Bribing the Examiner

Getting passed in a driving test with bribing is also a false myth. In the UK, there is zero percent chance to get passed in a driving test with bribing. Examiners accepting bribes can be in jail for bribing. It also brings a great harm to achieving your driving license.

UK Driving Test is Hard to Pass

The difficulty level depends on the everyone's capability. Many candidates are getting passed in their first or second test while many other candidates take too many times being passed. That all depends on your commitment. There are some countries like Japan, Denmark, Finland where the driving test is so much tougher than the UK.
