The extended test takes about 70 minutes and is assessed to the same level as the standard driving test for learner drivers.

A category B driving entitlement is normally valid until a person's 70th birthday. The new photocard licence needs to be updated every 10 years; this is to keep the photograph up to date.

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency will need to know that your pupil is profoundly deaf to make the appropriate booking arrangements. This should be recorded when booking the test. Approved driving instructors should be able to help any pupil with their application for a theory test or a practical driving test.

A 16 year old may drive a car if they're in receipt of the enhanced rate of the mobility component of Personal Independence Payment. However, if the enhanced rate is withdrawn, the normal minimum age for driving a car (17 years old) will then apply.

If your pupil makes a minor error when carrying out a reversing exercise, even during their driving test, it's acceptable to correct the problem before it develops into a serious fault. The correction must be carried out safely.

If someone fails their driving test, the examiner will give them a copy of the driving-test report form. This will show all the faults marked during the test.

If the instructor is present during the examiner's explanation, they'll be able to offer their pupil additional advice and guidance.

Dual carriageways and motorways share the same 70 mph national speed limit for cars and motorcycles. If a car or motorcycle is towing a trailer, then this maximum permitted speed is reduced to 60 mph.

Double white lines along the centre of the road are usually found in places where there's a poor view ahead, usually caused by bends in the road. When the line nearest to you is solid, you may cross it to pass a stationary vehicle, providing that it's safe to do so.

It's illegal to use a mobile phone while you're driving (except for genuine emergencies). Driving requires your total attention and concentration at all times. Using a mobile phone will distract you and increase your chances of having a collision. Even using a hands-free system will distract you. Be safe: switch off your phone before you start driving and pick up any messages when you stop for a break.

Only use front fog lights when adverse weather conditions mean you can't see more than 100 metres (328 feet). Remember: to avoid dazzling other drivers, turn off your fog lights when the visibility improves.

You must stop if you've been involved in a collision that results in any injury or damage. You must also be able to produce your driving licence when a police officer asks to see it.

You must be able to show your documents to a police officer when asked to do so. If you don't have them with you, you're allowed to produce them at a police station within seven days.

Using a hand-held mobile phone while you're driving is illegal. Driving requires all of your attention, all of the time. Any distraction, however brief, is potentially dangerous and could affect your control of the vehicle. Even using a hands-free system will distract you. The only safe way is to switch your phone off and make or pick up calls when you stop for a rest break.
