Hanwell driving test tips from our instructors
Q: How do I handle roundabouts without panicking?
"Stay calm by following the MSPSL routine (Mirrors, Signal, Position, Speed, Look) and always look right on approach. Practice with mini roundabouts first, then build up to larger ones."
Reginos Theodotou
A-Grade DVSA Instructor · 20 years
Q: What's the correct way to check mirrors and signal?
"Check your mirrors before any change in direction, speed, or overtaking — act safely on what you see. Only signal if necessary, and make sure it's correctly timed and clear."
Mali Summers
A-Grade DVSA Instructor
Q: What's the number one mistake learners make?
"Trying too hard to be perfect. Mistakes are part of the process — every experienced driver made them too."
Graham Morgan
A-Grade DVSA Instructor · 15 years
Q: Is it easier to pass in an automatic car?
"Yes, it's much easier to pass in an automatic than a manual car. It's especially effective for nervous drivers who want to focus on road awareness."
