K53 Test Scoring Method
Time limits for completing the test
Motorcycles: No time limit
Light and heavy motor vehicles yard test: 20 minutes including the pre-trip vehicle inspection. If you
pass the yard test you will continue with the road test which will take between 20 and 45 minutes.
You will fail the yard test and the test will be discontinued if:
» you exceed the time limit of 20 minutes for the pre-trip inspections and the yard test manoeuvres;
» you have been allocated more than 50 penalty points (see next topic – Scoring method); or
» you fail any one of the ‘immediate fail’ items in any manoeuvre (see next topic – Scoring method).
The stopwatch will be stopped after completion of each of the following, and re-started before the
next item:
» the instructions for the pre-trip inspections;
» each yard test manoeuvre; and
» the road test.
Scoring method
The examiner will use a score sheet to evaluate your performance during the test. You may accumulate a
certain number of penalty points during each part of the test. If you score more than this
allowance you will fail the test.
Besides the penalty points applicable to specific manoeuvres and road test situations, throughout the
test you will also be allocated penalty points each time you make the following errors:
» not showing courtesy towards other road users: 1
» not checking in the mirrors every 5 to 8 seconds: 5
» looking in the mirrors for too long: 1.
Some items do not carry penalty points and must be completed correctly in order to continue with the
rest of the test. If you are unsuccessful in any of these ‘immediate failure’ items, the test will be stopped
immediately and you will have to reapply to do the test some other time.
