Learning to Drive

Once you've decided that you want the freedom that driving can give you, you'll want to know a little about the process and what's involved.

Driving to a good and safe standard isn't easy. It requires hard work, commitment and effort, but if you can bring those qualities to your lessons, I can help you to become a safe confident driver in as short a period as possible.

In order to obtain your full driving licence, you need to take and pass two tests. Firstly the theory test which is made up of two parts, a multiple choice test and a Hazard Perception test which is designed to improve and test your anticipation skills. I would recommend that you start to study for the theory test as you begin your lessons or even before that if possible.

Then there is the practical driving test. I'm sure you've heard plenty of stories from friends who've taken their test but I can assure you that as long as you prepare well, with my help, the test is nothing to fear.

People often ask how many lessons they will need to pass their test and the honest answer is that I don't know! It's such an individual thing and I have had pupils pass with 18 lessons and some with 50 or more. As an average, I would say somewhere in the region of 30 hours is realistic, especially if you are able to practice privately as well.

The Learner Car

I currently use a new Toyota Yaris D4D, Venetian Silver in colour, as my tuition car.

It's a great little car. It looks good, is extremely comfortable and drives very well too.
