ADI Training Part 2

ADI test part 2: Practical driving test

The ADI part 2 test is similar in format to the original practical driving test, but the standard expected is much higher. You need to show expert-level driving skills in different road and traffic conditions, and excellent Highway Code knowledge.
The ADI part 2 practical test lasts for roughly one hour and comprises:
* An eyesight check
* ‘Show me, tell me’ safety questions
* A general test of your driving ability
* Performing manoeuvres
* An independent driving section

How do I book the ADI part 2 practical test?
In England, Wales and Scotland, you can book part 2 ADI test on GOV.UK, and it costs £111.


What do I need to bring to the ADI part 2 test?

On the day of the test, you need to bring:
* Your full and valid driving licence. If you have a Northern Ireland photocard licence, you need to bring the accompanying paper licence. If you don’t have a photocard licence, you should bring a current passport.
* Your ADI part 1 theory test pass certificate.
* A face covering, unless it isn’t safe for you to wear one.
You also need to bring a car to take the test in. You can read a full list of requirements for the car here, but in general the vehicle should be:
* Properly taxed and insured, with a valid MOT.
* In good working condition.
* A saloon, hatchback or estate car with manual or automatic transmission.
* A right-hand drive.
In addition, features such as the seat, head restraint and interior mirror should be readily adjustable for the examiner’s use. It should have working seatbelts, and should not display L-plates.
ADI part 2 eyesight test
If you normally wear glasses or contacts, you must wear these at all times during the test. In good daylight, you’ll be expected to read a number plate from a distance of:
* 26.5 metres a new-style number plate (beginning with two letters followed by two numbers)
* 27.5 metres for an old-style number plate

Not being able to read a registration plate from the required distance is an instant fail, and the test will be discontinued.

ADI part 2 ‘show me, tell me’ safety questions
After the eyesight test, there will be a ‘show me, tell me’ test regarding safety checks. The examiner will ask you to explain how to carry out checks on the safety and condition of three different vehicle components.
After you start driving, you’ll be asked to demonstrate how to carry out a further two checks.


ADI part 2 test of driving ability

During the test of driving ability, you’ll be expected to demonstrate a very high standard of driving skill and knowledge. You’ll be taken out on roads with a possible range of conditions. These are likely to include dual carriageways or motorways, and you may encounter heavy and fast-moving traffic. You’ll need to prove to the examiner that you’re a highly competent driver, whatever situations come your way.
The examiner will test you on any or all of the following:
* Expert handling of the car’s controls.
* Using the correct road procedure.
* Anticipating other road users’ actions and reacting appropriately.
* Sound judgment of speed, distance, and timing.
* Driving in a considerate fashion, bearing in mind the safety and convenience of other road users.
* Environmentally friendly driving.
The examiner may also ask you to carry out an emergency stop.
ADI part 2 manoeuvres

You’ll be expected to carry out two of the following reverse manoeuvres, with effective all-round observation:
* Parallel park at the side of the road.
* Reverse into a parking bay, and then drive out.
* Drive into a parking bay, and then reverse out.
* Pull up on the right-hand side of the road, then reverse for about two car lengths. You’ll then be asked to rejoin the traffic.

ADI part 2 independent driving section

The ADI part 2 independent driving section lasts roughly 20 minutes. Here you’ll drive without any instruction, instead following directions from a sat nav or road signs. If the examiner chooses a sat nav, they’ll set it up for you – you won’t use your own. You’ll be expected to make the correct decisions without prompting.
If you go off route by mistake, this won’t affect your test result, provided you don’t make a fault while doing so. If this happens, the examiner will help you get back on the correct route.

ADI part 2 test results
At the end of the test, you’ll return to the test centre, and the examiner will give you your score and any feedback.
Like the original driving test, your examiner will mark any faults, and the perfect score is zero. However, here you can only make six driving faults. Seven or more faults will result in you failing your test. One serious fault will result in a fail, and a dangerous fault will cause you to fail and for the test to be discontinued.
If you pass, you’ll be emailed your result, which includes details of how to apply for the ADI part 3 test of instructional ability. Although you can apply for this straight away, it’s well worth preparing exhaustively for it.
You’ll also be given the option of applying for a trainee licence. It’s worth considering the potential driving instructor (PDI) trainee route , as this will give you valuable hands-on experience in teaching real pupils how to drive.
If you fail, you’ll be given the option to apply to resit the ADI part 2 test. After failing the first time, you’ll have two more chances to pass, so be sure to take any feedback given on board. Failing for a third time means having to start your ADI tests from scratch.
