Diamond Taxi Test Training in Leeds – Former DVSA Examiner
Get ready to pass your Diamond Taxi Test with confidence. I offer calm, expert training in Leeds, built on years of experience as a DVSA driving examiner and Diamond Approved Taxi Driving Assessor.
What Is the Diamond Taxi Test?
The Diamond Advanced Taxi Test is widely used by local authorities, including Leeds City Council, as part of their licensing process. It ensures you can drive professionally, safely, and smoothly when carrying passengers. Passing this test is essential if you’re applying for or renewing your taxi or private hire licence.
What the Test Involves
The test lasts around 45 minutes and takes place on a mix of roads in and around Leeds. You’ll be assessed on real-world driving situations, your ability to stay calm under pressure, and your awareness and control behind the wheel.
Passing requires no serious or dangerous faults and no more than nine minor errors.
- Controlled, smooth vehicle handling
- Confident use of mirrors, signals, and road positioning
- Following road signs and speed limits accurately
- Safe and accurate reverse manoeuvre
- Eco-safe driving where appropriate
