I think keeping to the speed limit is a first.

And checking your blind spot, or not as the case may be, is what most people fail the DVLA Taxi Test on. :shock:

Is it the DSA test you're sitting, or one set by Kirkees itself?

Either way, there's some information about the DSA test on it's website, although it's not to specific.

I suspect that you don't have to drive much better than on the standard driving test, but you probably won't be given so much leeway for minor mistakes, and will be expected to be more confident and do a three point turn or reversting manouvre a bit more quickly than would be done by a learner driver.
