Practical driving test

In order to become a fully-fledged driver you will need to pass three tests; the theory test, hazard perception and the practical driving test. The theory and hazard perception tests are taken at the same time and you need to be successful in both before you can move on to do the practical test which will typically be six weeks after your application is made, although this will depend on where you live.

What do I need before I start?

Before you can begin your driving lessons you need to be at least 17 years of age and hold a valid provisional driving licence which can be obtained by completing a D1 form at the post office and sending it to the DVLA. You will also need to send your passport or birth certificate and a passport sized photo as proof of identification. Those wishing to get a head start can apply for their provisional licence up to 3 months before their 17th birthday, and could even book their first lesson for that special day.

How many lessons will I need?

According to the driving standards agency, on average, most people currently need at least 45 hours of tuition with a qualified driving instructor, plus an additional 20 hours of private practice before they are ready to take their test. Research has shown that those students who take this amount of tuition usually pass first time. However, this should only act as a guide and should be discussed with your driving instructor after your first few lesson.

How long are the lessons?

Whilst a lot of driving schools give their pupils one hour lessons, at Needdrivinglessons.com Driving School, we believe that 1 and half or 2 hour lessons are more beneficial to our clients, so we have designed driving lesson packages to cater for your individual requirements. Not only will this reduce the number of lessons you need and thus the overall costs, but will give you more time to take in what your instructor tells you and to put it into practice. One hour lessons can prove to be less effective for some learners because quite often, a lot of the time is spent recapping on the previous lesson and preparing for the next therefore limiting what you learn and giving you less value for money.
