INFORMATION AND ADVICE ON DRIVING LESSONS AND PASSING YOUR DRIVING TEST

HOW MANY DRIVING LESSONS WILL I NEED?

Your instructor will assess you during your first lesson. Of course everyone learns to drive at their own pace, some pick it up quickly and other have more difficulty and require more driving lessons.

The average is 45 hours of tuition (Driving Standards Agency average, 2006), with 22 hours of private practice although many people require fewer driving lessons than this.

GETTING STARTED

Before your driving lessons commence you need to apply for a provisional licence. You can apply for this in 3 ways – a form from the Post Office or the DVLA, or you can now apply online – visit www.directgov.uk.

You need to be 17 years old to hold a provisional licence but you can apply 3 months before your birthday.

DRIVING THEORY TEST

Before applying for your practical test you need to pass the theory and hazard perception tests

The theory test is in two parts. It is a 50 question multiple choice test using a computer. Once your driving lessons have started we will include Theory test training during the lessons.

HAZARD PERCEPTION TEST

After your theory test you will watch a series of video clips showing potential road hazards.

There are 15 hazards scoring 5 points each. You need to pass both the theory and the hazard perception tests to be successful. If you fail one part you will need to re sit the tests.

PRACTICAL DRIVING TEST

The practical test begins with an eyesight check and some questions about vehicle safety.

The driving part of the test is 40 minutes long and will cover all types of road and driving situations. The examiner will be looking to see if you have reached a safe standard of driving, you must carry out specific manoeuvres at his request. You are allowed 15 minor faults and you will still pass. Any serious faults and you will automatically fail.

Our driving instructors will advise you when you are ready for the test and will supply the appropriate vehicle if required. You must have the appropriate vehicle, fully insured and licensed and displaying L-plates.

Remember it’s not about the quantity of driving lessons you have but the quality. Although practice is essential, patient, friendly and expert advice provided by the driving instructors at Driving School Sheffield will get you through in the end!

PASS PLUS DRIVING COURSES

After you’ve passed your driving test, our driving instructors offer the option for you to become a more assured and confident driver by providing driving lessons for the Pass Plus course.

This is a Driving Standards Agency (DSA) course specifically designed for new drivers. There is an added benefit to Pass Plus – you will save on your insurance.

You can take the Pass Plus course at any time during the first 12 months after your test. On completion of your Pass Plus driving lessons and our driving instructors verifying that you have completed and passed all modules the DSA will issue a Pass Plus certificate.

INTENSIVE DRIVING COURSE

If you need to learn to drive quickly, maybe for a job or to fit in with your college or university holidays, you can condense your driving lessons with an intensive course from Driving School Sheffield. Our driving instructors will work out how many and how frequently you need the driving lessons to suit your requirements.

REFRESHER COURSES

You may feel you need a refresher course if you have not driven for a long time or have lost your confidence after an accident etc, or are simply a nervous driver. Our driving instructors are specially trained to deal with all these situations and will tailor the course to suit your personal requirements. At the end of the course you will be a more confident and capable driver.
