Default how much does H licence test cost ?

guys (in the UK)

an idea's what i need to do to arrange an H test ?

say i had access to a tracked vehicle and land to take the test on what would i need to do ?

i looked on the DSA site and i think its circa £60 for the test but it is very vague on whether the instructor can come to a location i specify ?


anyone able to discuss what they did during their test and how long it lasts for ? i have heard of tests lasting circa 5 mins in some cases

Cheers

Richie

when you apply for the test you just put the address of the place of test not the test station. i can talk you through it if you want. i have put a lot of people through their tests.

Different DSA offices apply different criteria to others. Some will insist the test is conducted on the road in a suitable vehicle, others are happy to do it off road in a crawler tractor.

Be prepared to travel if you want the easier version!

yes i am happy to travel so i think i would prefer the easier one....seems daft taking a test on the road when the instructor has no way of intervening should you make a balls up of something....but on the flipside i can understand why they would.

That's the thing, you take your test with an examiner not an instructor. If they have to intervene, you've already failed!

It is an easy test, I wouldn't worry about it.
