Sat Nav
Sat Nav’s have been around for a while now and since 2017 the DVSA included Sat Nav usage within the test. The technology now comes as standard already built into most vehicles and mobiles. When used correctly and within the law, they are effective at their purpose. We no longer need to waste time using maps as more often than not Sat Nav’s out plan us.
More of us now use Sat Nav’s to get around than ever before. This is why the Sat Nav now plays a pivotal part in the practical test. For at least 20 minutes (half) of your test, you will be instructed where to go by computer. Your examiner will assess your ability to drive safely as well as your ability to follow the Sat Nav’s instructions.
