Not all new cars can be used on the UK driving test, and the DSA has decided that both the new BMW Mini Convertible and the Smart car rival the Toyota IQ both do not give the DSA examiner good all round visibility and thus are not suitable to be used for driving tests.
This is one of the reasons why anyone considering not using a driving school instructor to take their test needs to make sure they thoroughly go over the DSA website to make sure they know the current requirements for getting a full british licence and always read the test appointment letter before arriving at the centre.
If you arrive for a practical assessment in either a new Mini Convertible or the Toyota IQ, the test will not go ahead, you will lose your booking fee, and have to wait at least 10 days before you will have another atempt.
Don't forget your 'L' plates, the interior mirror for examiner, check those tyres to make sure they are legal and remember you can't use hire car for the test.
