Emergency Stops



Emergency Stops. Throughout your driving test your aim will be to slow down in good time and pull up gently, except in the emergency stop exercise, which will show your competence in taking immediate and effective action.

From 4th May 1999 the emergency stop will be conducted at random during one-in-three car tests to enable extra time to be spent in normal driving.

The examiner on the driving test will expect you to:- 

·  Stop the car promptly.
·  Keep the car under control without locking the wheels.
·  Stop the car in the shortest possible distance.
·  Stop the car without endangering other road users.
