A policeman pointed 4 signs (it will be teaches in the school) and asked us to mention the name. After passing this part of the test, the policeman signed our files and return to us.

2) Practical Test

L Parking

I had to drive a car alone (a policeman watched from outside and A/C should be off and windows should be kept open) and I had to drive the car slowly up a small hill and stopped in the middle (yellow line) and put the parking park. Now accelerate and same time lightly release the clutch now u can see the bonnet will come up, now release the parking brake and go up and stop (If car slip back you fail the test.), then reverse it backwards again(you should not touch the polls otherwise you will be fail the Test). After passing, the policeman signed form and I continued onto the next stage of the test for pocket parking

Pocket Parking

In this section of the test you have to park and reverse into a small box without touching any polls. The car must fit in exactly in one shot, you are only allowed to reverse, not move forward.

My file was taken from me. After fifteen minutes we were called one by one to the waiting buses – those who had failed were not called.
