As per Transport Malta Circulatory/LTD/DVLU/004/24
This circulatory applies for all the Authorised Licensed Drivers which are legislated by subsidiary 65.18 - Rules regarding Motor Vehicles.
The Authority wishes to remind all Driving schools that during driving lessons and when attending practical tests, both driving instructors and students are expected to dress appropriately and presentably.
It is not permissible to wear short skirts/shorts, low necks, exposed 'midriffs', transparent fabrics or similarly inappropriate clothing. Sandals and flip-flops are also not allowed. It is important that personal hygiene is maintained at all times, especially when one considers the restricted space in the vehicle.
If in any case the applicant is involved in an accident caused by him/her during the test day, he/she has to pay for the insurance access of €250.
We believe that every student has their own abilities and therefore takes their own time to be fully ready. On average, a student takes 30 hours to be ready for the test however, that does not necessarily mean that it will be the same case for every student, and students are encouraged to understand this, because it is a completely normal thing. Not everybody is the same.
A mock test is like a simulation of the actual practical test. They are generally meant to help give students an idea of what the actual test will be like.
The practical test takes around 45 minutes.
Please note that fees will apply if a student does not cancel their appointment 4 hours before the lesson.
