1. What
do I need to do before I can start driving?
You must have a Provisional Licence.
You must complete driving licence application form
D1 and photocard application form D750 (Available from
most post offices)
The minimum age which you can legally drive a car on
the public roads is 17.
If you are disabled and in receipt of mobility allowance,
the minimum age is 16.
It is also worthwhile having an eyesight test to check
that you meet the minimum eyesight standard for driving.
2. How
many driving lessons will I need to take?
Driving is a skill that some people learn quicker than
others. Your instructor will monitor your progress and
will let you know how ready your are for the tests.
3. How
often should I have my lessons?
How often you have your lessons is entirely up to you.
We recommend at least 1, 1 hour session per week (subject
to availability).
4. Do
I need to pass the Theory Test before I can start my
driving lessons?
No. In fact it is a good idea to learn the theory whilst
you are learning the practical as it can bring the subject
alive making it easier to understand and remember.
5. Where
do I take my Theory Test?
There are Theory Test centres located all over the
UK run by the DSA. Your Instructor can advise you which
is your nearest one.
6. Do
we do intensive courses?
Yes. Learning to drive is different for everyone so
rather than sell you a set package we'll tailor one
to suit you.

7. Now
that there is a Theory Test, will I still be asked questions
at the end of my Practical Test?
No. The Practical Test and Theoretical Test are now
completely separate.
8. Can
a friend or relative teach me how to drive?
The Driving Standards Agency strongly recommends that
you take lessons from an Approved Driving Instructor.
If your friend or relative teaches you they must be
over 21 years of age and have held a Full British Driving
Licence for at least 3 years. It's worthwhile remembering
too that learning with a friend or relative means you
could pick up their bad habits.
9. Will
my instructor expect me to know the basics of learning
to drive?
No. However, it would be more beneficial to yourself
if you do gain some knowledge on the theory. There are
several books available and a lot of information can
be found in The Highway Code.
10.
Can I choose to have a woman instructor?
Yes. If you felt you would be more comfortable having
a female instructor then this can be arranged for you.
(subject to availability).

Yes. Once you have passed your driving test there are
several options available to you. These extra lessons

improve your skills in specific areas, such as town,
night and bad weather conditions.
