Once you pass part I you will be given details of how to apply for part II.
The parts II & III tests can be taken in
Belfast or Londonderry. All training conducted
by ATNI for Parts II & III will be based
in Belfast. The car used must meet the requirements
set out in the booklet ADI 1. Please also note
the car must be fitted with a manual gearbox.
The following description should give you an
indication of what is required.
"This is not just a slightly more difficult "L" test. The test is of an advanced nature and a very high standard of competence is required".
The Test
The first part of the test is an eye sight test. It would be a good idea to make sure you can meet the requirements of this test before you commence and pay for any ADI training. You are required to read a car number plate with letters and figures 97.4mm high at a distance of no less than 27.5m, this can be with the use of glasses or contact lenses if worn. If you fail to read the number plate you will not be allowed to take the driving part of the test. The test will last about an hour you will be required to drive on roads with varying speed limits and traffic volumes. This will include dual carriageway and or motorways. You will be expected to show that you can put into practice the principals of good driving and road safety. The examiner must be satisfied you have consistently demonstrated:
Expert handling of the controls.
Use of correct road procedures.
Anticipated the action of other road users and taken appropriate action.
Sound judgement of distance, speed and timing.
Consideration for the convenience and safety of other road users.
You will also be required to perform any or all of the following:
Move away straight ahead or at an angle.
Overtake, meet and cross the path of other vehicles taking an appropriate course and without undue hesitancy.
Turn left and right hand corners correctly without undue hesitancy.
Stop the vehicle as in an emergency
Carry out a left and right reverse.
Turn in the road exercise
Reverse parking exercise on the road
Just as with a learner test one serious fault or dangerous fault will result in failure. Compared to this test the part II is longer with more manoeuvres and a higher overall standard of driving is required. You are allowed no more than 6 'minor faults' where as a learner is allowed up to 15.
