Revision question · Band 3 driving test, disabilities, law

A pupil with a physical disability is concerned that the examiner won't understand their special needs. What should you tell them?

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.

Answer options

They'll have to be much better than an able-bodied driver

The candidate can declare their needs so suitable test communication or arrangements can be made

The examiner will have more time to study their faults

They'll be tested to a lower standard than an able-bodied driver

Show the answer

The candidate can declare their needs so suitable test communication or arrangements can be madeThis was the right answer

Declare a disability, health condition or learning difficulty when booking so DVSA can arrange appropriate communication, extra explanation or an interpreter where applicable. The candidate is assessed to the same driving standard; the adjustment supports access and does not guarantee a particular examiner background or a lower standard.
