When you do the aged driving test in Penrith with the roads & Maritime Services the test will start and finish at Services NSW. Unfortunately you will not be able to drive around with an RMS examiner before the actual test and learn what you need to know to pass. They will simply conduct the assessment and inform you at the end of the test of your test results. Therefore your ability to pass the driving test will be adversely effected because you will not know how the examiner will mark the test. Nor will you know what is actual in the test or what you are required to do.
