“Depending on your local area, your driving test is likely to include a number of crossroads. These might include straight or staggered crossroads, quiet unmarekd crossroads, crossroads controlled by give way or stop lines, or busy traffic light control crossroads.
Regardless of the type of crossroad, your examiner will be looking for the same thing as with any other junction; a routine approach, good observation and good decision making.
If your examiner does not give you a route direction on the approach to a crossroad and you are not in the independent drive part of the test, follow the road ahead or look for signs which might indicate the direction that you have to take.
As with other junctions, the examiner will assess your use to the Mirrors-Signal-Manoeuvre routine, your observation on approach and, at the crossroads, your compliance with road signs and markings, your positioning before and after the junction and the action you take to deal with other road users.
The key points are:
– There might be several crossorads on your driving test.
– The crossroads might be on quiet or busy roads and might be unmarked.
– If the examiner doesn’t give you a route direction, follow the road ahead or as directed by road signs.
– The examiner will assess the way that you deal with other road users.”
