Driving Test - What the examiner is looking for
Driving test report (DL25) explained: 12

12 Control
You must demonstrate safe and controlled use of accelerator, clutch, gears, footbrake, parking brake, and steering.

Vehicle controls should be used as smoothly as possible so that there is less wear and tear on your vehicle and a smoother ride is achieved for your passengers.  Make proper use of your accelerator and clutch to make a smooth start. Always depress the clutch just before you stop. Select the correct gear to match the road and traffic conditions. Change gear in good time but not too soon before a hazard.

Do not allow the vehicle to coast by running on in neutral or with the clutch depressed. There should be no need to look down at the gear lever when changing gear. Use the footbrake smoothly and progressively. Brake in plenty of time for any hazard.

Make full use of the parking brake whenever it would help you to prevent the vehicle rolling backwards or forwards, and if you are parking.

Steer the vehicle as smoothly as possible. Avoid harsh steering, or steering too early or too late as it may cause you to hit the kerb or swing out towards another road user.
