Your Q-SAFE practical driving test will be taken in a car provided by you that must:

- be registered and fitted with number and L plates visible from the front and rear

- have a working seatbelt for all occupants
- be fitted with a minimum of 1 internal and external offside rear vision mirror
- have tyres in good condition that meet the standard on the car’s tyre placard
- have a clean windscreen and windows that provide a suitable level of visibility
- be fitted with internal sun visors

Driver assist devices (e.g. GPS, Speed Alarms, Park Assist) must, if practical, be turned off. Cars modified to suit your physical requirements may be used providing there is evidence the car has been legally modified. Your examiner will do a visual check of your car to ensure it is suitable and safe. If your car doesn’t to pass the check the test will be terminated and you will need to re-book to take the test at another time.
