How many driving lessons do I need to pass my test?
The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) has stated it may take between 40 to 45 hours of professional tuition and 22 hours of private practice to bring your driving up to test standard. However, this varies from learner to learner as everyone is different and individuals learn new skills at different speeds. All pupils need time to learn properly in order to pass the driving test first time. Your instructor will constantly re-structure your training to make it as easy and fun for you to get your driving up to test standard. After a few lessons your instructor will be able to advise you on how many lessons you may require.
The Practical Test:
The driving test last approximately 35 to 40 minutes. It starts with an eyesight test and two questions on vehicle safety. This is followed by a road drive in which you need to demonstrate that you can drive competently and safely on different types of road and in different driving conditions. The test will include an uphill start, an angle start, one of the three manoeuvres that your instructor will have taught you and a ten minute independent drive. It may include an emergency stop. You will be continually assessed by the driving examiner during the test.
The cost of a driving test is currently £62.00 Monday to Friday and £75.00 for a Saturday.
Independant Driving:

way.

everyone!
