Revision question · Band 3 driving test, disabilities, law

Your pupil, who is profoundly deaf, intends to apply for a driving test. What advice should you give them about their application?

Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.

Declare their deafness on the application formThis was the right answer

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.
