Driving Test.

Hi, my youngest son keeps taking driving tests and not passing, we are 99% sure  he has ADHD, he was expelled from school when 13, the school couldn’t handle his outbursts. He drives very well, when at the test his anxiety goes off the scale, he sits in the car shaking, I’ve tried everything I can think of, I even took him to a test centre on a country route. Unfortunately his theory test has now expired so we are now on test 3 of that. He really needs to drive, he is now 21 and can progress at work a lot with a license. There is a box on the application for special requirements, unfortunately he is not officially diagnosed.

Does anyone have any ideas?

  • That's a lot of pressure for him to have to cope with. I would say study. Study everything about the test, watch videos if he wants. The test is hard and he'll pass at some point, it took me 12 times before I got it right and passed (I have a manual license). Study it indefinitely and keep trying. He'll get it eventually and it will have been worth it.
