A Message from your Driving Examiner

BELOW IS SOME HELPFUL INFORMATION ON Q-SAFE AND WHAT YOU WILL BE EXPECTED TO DO

Q-SAFE is designed to evaluate your ability to drive safely and correctly in different driving situations which may include a variety of speed zones

I will be asking you to undertake a series of driving tasks throughout the assessment. You will be given clear directions in ample time

If I don’t give you any specific directions, please just follow the road and be directed by road signs, signals and road markings

You will be expected to perform the driving tasks when conditions are safe and in accordance with the road rules

If you have a mobile phone, please ensure it is switched off for the duration of this assessment

Please make any lane changes that are necessary to follow my directions

At no time during the assessment will I ask you to perform any driving tasks that are illegal

You may see me marking the report form during the assessment – please do not assume that an error has occurred.

If your vehicle is fitted with blind spot mirrors you are still required to conduct shoulder checks to ensure there are no vehicles in the blind spot

Once the assessment has commenced I am unable to answer any questions that may influence your driving performance.

If the vehicle is fitted with driver assist devices (for example GPS, speed alarms, park assist or easy start) please turn these devices off for the duration of the test

If you are recording this assessment, the recording device must not have audio capability turned on and must be outward facing in a safe location.

You will not be able to access the device during the assessment

If using a device other than your mobile phone to record, please ensure your mobile phone is switched off for the duration of this assessment

At the end of the test I will ask you to accompany me to the debrief area to discuss the outcome of your test

Do you have any questions?
