Revision question · Band 3 driving test, disabilities, law

A candidate taking their practical driving test is allowed to have someone accompany them on the test. How should this person behave during the test?

They should take no part in the testThis was the right answer

Anyone who accompanies a learner driver on a driving test must be at least 16 years old and must wear a seat belt. (This includes a person who holds a seat-belt exemption certificate.) The accompanying driver mustn't take any part in the test. The examiner can end the test if they feel any inappropriate communication has taken place.
