Driving Lessons - what it involves?


To start your driving lesson you must have:

The driving instructor will want to see your provisional licence before you start your driving lessons & they will expect you to be able to read a number plate from 20 metres away.

 

The driving theory test
You should start your driving theory as soon as possibly, and though driving lessons can begin before passing the theory test, the practical test cannot be booked until the theory test has been passed.

 

What is the Driving theory test

The theory test tests understanding of the high-way code such as traffic signs and signals, car control, pedestrians and mechanical knowledge. There is; also the; hazard perception test part to this. This is where video clips; of various traffic conditions are shown and include hazards that must be identified by a mouse click.

In the Thanet area the theory test is taken in Canterbury. For the Practical test Herne Bay or Canterbury can be selected since the Broadstairs centre closed.

Driving instructors?

A good way of selecting a driving instructor is by recommendation. If friends or relations have had positive experiences with a particular driving instructor then try them. However, ensure they are DSA registered driving instructors. If recommendation isn't an option, then do a Google search by typing in the search box something like Driving Lessons in Ramsgate, replace Ramsgate with the area you live. If looking for a specific features of your driving instructor, such as female, then type in, the key word first.

Questions: How many hours will it take to pass my driving test?

Answer: That very much depends on you. A good driving instructor is teaching you to become a safe driver, not just to pass your test. Generally most instructors will keep a track record of your progress and both of you will agree on when you are ready to take your test. Sandy Driving School will also offer you a mock test, taken by another instructor to give you a realistic experience of what the test will be like.
