Overview

At the Driving Standards Agency’s training centre in Cardington, a group of hopeful examiners learn how to decide who is fit to be on the road. As they are taught to spot faults, judge nerves and make the final pass-or-fail call, learner drivers prepare to face the same scrutiny. The Test is a wry observational documentary about pressure, judgement and the peculiar ritual of the British driving test.
