Driving School in Chesterfield
FIRST STEP
The first step in becoming a fully qualified car driver is to apply online for a provisional driving licence. If you already have appropriate forms of identification such as a passport, you may apply online. You can obtain your provisional before your 17th birthday but cannot have on road driving lessons until your 17th birthday.
DRIVING THEORY TEST
An important step towards getting a full licence is to pass your theory test. Many learners learn for their theory while they are taking practical driving lessons. As well as the computer based questions you need to pass the hazard awareness test. It is necessary to get the pass mark in both sections at the same test. If you do not achieve a pass at one you are required to attempt both parts again.
PRACTICAL DRIVING LESSONS
The majority of people who learn to drive in the UK have one lesson each week. But some people become aware that two or more lessons per week is easier as they are more likely to remember if they don’t have to wait a week between lessons. The time you have to wait for the practical driving test can vary but the Driving Standards Agency target waiting time for practical tests is 6 weeks. However it's important that you do not go for test before your instructor says you are ready. The UK pass rate is approximately50% and the Driving Standards Agency have made it clear that a major reason in test candidates failing the test is that they were not ready for it. During your lessons your instructor might use a reflective log to help you to reflect on your progress on your driving lessons.
AFTER THE DRIVING TEST
When you have passed the test you will get a pass certificate. This allows you to drive immediately. The candidate will usually receive the full driving licence within 21 days.
