  • Vehicle familiarisation — controls, mirrors, blind spots, and vehicle dimensions
  • Moving off and stopping safely
  • Road positioning and lane discipline on a variety of road types
  • Junction and roundabout technique
  • Reversing exercise — the most common source of test faults
  • Show me / tell me vehicle safety questions
  • Dual carriageway and motorway driving
  • Mock test before the real test
