What does EXTENDED RETEST mean on driving?

If you have been disqualified from driving, the court can order that you take an extended driving test.

At the end of the period of disqualification imposed by the court you revert to learner driver status which means you have to reapply for a provisional driving licence and take the Theory and Practical tests again.

If you have been ordered to take an extended practical test, this means that instead of being approx 40 minutes in length, it will last for around 70 minutes, so will cover your ability to drive in much more depth taking in a wider variety of road and traffic conditions including dual carriageways.

...and, obviously, because it's a longer test, you have to pay a higher fee than if your were taking an "ordinary" practical test. The fee for an extended test is £113.00 weekdays/£134.00 Saturdays (as opposed to £56.50/£67.00 for the non-extended test).

It means that the person taking the extended driving test has to pass a more thourough (and longer) test before they are allowed to drive again. This is generally given to drivers whom have lost their license's due to serious driving offences such as drink driving or dangerous driving etc.


UCANTCME
Where a court disqualifies a person on conviction for one of many types of offenses, it must order an extended retest.

The courts also have discretion to order a retest for any other offense which carries penalty points: an extended retest where disqualification is obligatory, and an ordinary test where disqualification is not obligatory.
