Plan ahead and respond appropriately to developing road situations.
Manoeuvres and Independent Driving
The test also assesses your ability to complete manoeuvres safely and drive independently while maintaining appropriate control and awareness.

Observation and Anticipation

Recognising what other road users may do and preparing for possible changes before they happen.
Planning and Judgement
Professional-level driving requires you to make decisions early rather than reacting at the last moment.
