The result of your test is marked overleaf, the following statement only applies if your
result is marked as a fail.
Statement of Failure to Pass Practical Test – Test of Competence to Drive
Road Traffic Act 1988
This candidate named herein has been examined and has failed to pass the practical test / test of competence to drive prescribed
under the Road Traffic Act 1988 (and for the purposes of Section 36 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 if an extended test).
Candidates are assessed against the items listed overleaf in deciding whether they are competent to drive. Items needing special
attention are marked. You should study these along with the Guidance Notes above, and the ‘Driving Test Report Explained’ leaflet
given to you by the examiner.
Unsuccessful candidates (dependent on category of test taken) may be required to wait a minimum period
before taking a further test in a vehicle of the same category.

Appeals
If you consider that your test was not properly conducted in accordance with the relevant Regulations, you
may apply to a Magistrate’s Court acting for the Petty Sessions Area in which you reside (in Scotland to the
Sheriff within whose jurisdiction you reside) which (who) has the power to determine this point. If you reside
in England or Wales you have six months from the issue of this Statement of Failure in which to appeal, and
if you reside in Scotland, 21 days. If the Court finds that the test was not properly conducted it may order a
refund of the fee and authorise you to undergo a further test forthwith (see Road Traffic Act 1988 Section 90,
for ADI qualifying tests see section 133).
You should note that your right to appeal to the Court under Section 90 or 133 are strictly limited to the
question of whether the test was properly conducted in accordance with the relevant Regulations. The
examiner’s decision and test result cannot be altered.
Before you consider making any appeal you may wish to seek legal advice.
You can find details of our service standards and complaints procedures in our 'Customer Service: A
guide to our service standards' leaflet, which is available from all our offices and test centres.
