PROVISIONAL LICENCE
The first step in learning to drive is to obtain a provisional licence. If you have a passport or similar form of identification, you can make an application online. You may get your provisional Driving licence before your 17th birthday so that you can if you wish start lessons on your birthday. Most people learn in a manual car (ie one with a manual gearbox) but automatic driving lessons in automatic cars are also popular. The advantage of automatic driving lessons is that you can pass your test much more quickly as you don't need to use clutch and gears. Learning in an automatic car can cut down the number of lessons you need by up to 50%.
THEORY AND HAZARD TEST
Your first step after getting your provisional licence is to pass your theory test. Most people study for their theory test at the same time as taking practical driving lessons. In addition to the multiple choice questions the candidate needs to pass the hazard perception test. The candidate has to pass in both parts at the same time. If you fail at one you have to apply for both tests again.
LESSONS
Most people learning to drive in the UK take one lesson per week. However some learners find that more than one lesson per week is beneficial as they are less likely to forget things from one lesson to the next. Intensive courses are also very popular although you will not automatically need fewer lessons for taking an intensive course. Your driving instructor will use modern easy to understand driving lesson plans. The waiting time for practical test appointments can vary but the DVSA target waiting time for the test is 6 weeks. It’s important though that you don't take your test before your driving instructor says you are ready. The national pass rate is around50% and the DVSA have stated that a significant factor in people failing their practical test is that they were not ready for the test. Book your test at Driving Test bookings or find a driving test cancellation
AFTER THE PRACTICAL TEST
You don't need to have a car with dual controls for the test. When you have passed the driving test you will receive your pass certificate. This entitles you to drive straight away. You will normally receive the full licence within 21 days.
There are many advantages to taking the test in an automatic car. There is no clutch to have to worry about and no stalling! If you are looking for a intensive driving lessons in Tunbridge Wells contact Mi-Driving.
