What To Expect On The Day
You will arrive at the practical driving test centre in oxford a few minutes early and wait in the waiting room.

This is a declaration that you are providing a properly insured vehicle for the purpose of the driving test and that you have been a resident of this country for the required amount of time. You will be using the same driving school car that you have taken your lessons in so the insurance angle is covered. While you read and sign the declaration the examiner will check your paperwork.
If you have decided that you do wish for your instructor to accompany you on your practical driving test then this is the time to say so. As a courtesy, you should say to the examiner something along the lines of, “I would like my instructor to come with me please”. The driving test examiners do not mind in the slightest. It is your practical driving test after all.
