BEFORE YOU BOOK YOUR DRIVING TEST

The driving test is probably one of the most difficult tasks on your road to independence and there’s no method of preparation that guarantees you’ll pass it first time, However, there are ways you can prepare that will improve your chances of being successful at the very first attempt. Here are some helpful tips to improve your chances of success

Driving lessons with a good instructor and plenty of practice
The best way to learn to drive safely and with confidence is to have professional tuition backed up by private practice. Driving lessons with an experienced Approved Driving Instructor and plenty of practice between lessons with a relative or friend should prepare you for your practical test. Make the most of it. Gaining experience is one of the key ingredients of driving. With experience comes confidence. Spend as much time as you can behind the wheel and don’t rush into taking the test until you’re ready. If you take it too soon, you’re more than likely to waste your time and money

It’s important to remember that if you’re practising with your friends or family in their car, you need to make sure you’re covered on their car insurance policy, or you could get itemised learner cover from one of the specialist insurance companies

Are you Ready to Pass?

The DVSA has a new website where you can check your test readiness against their criteria. Everyone thinks they are ready against their own standards, but you will not be marking the test, that will be done by a DVSA Examiner, who knows a lot more about the standard required to have a full driving licence.

Just as all learners are different, there are a wide variety of driving instructors

The most important thing is that you get along and feel your training is progressing

Ask plenty of questions,  join in and develop your training rather than have it forced on you in a way you neither like or understand AND ABOVE ALL, MAKE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR LOCAL AREA (we have bespoke slides available online to help you with this)

We normally recommend an assessment lesson. It works both ways. We can see what you're like, you can see what you're getting from us
