Driving Lesson FAQs
What is the average number of hours to learn to drive?
You'll always have that one person who swears they passed first time after three lessons, but that's far from the average. According to the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), it takes most people 45 hours of lessons to learn how to drive, plus 22 hours of practising.
What will the driving examiner ask me to highlight before I take my driving test?
They will examine your car to ensure it can safely drive on the road. They will then ask you to sound your horn, turn on your parking lights, headlights, turn signals and hazard lights, then press the brake to see if your brake lights work. Before you begin the test they will also check to make sure your seat belts are properly functioning.
How long will my driving test take me?
Your practical driving test will include a vision check and basic safety questions. The driving test will take around 40 to 50 minute.
Are intensive courses cheaper?
The overall cost of an intensive course is generally based on the full course rather than on an hourly rate, but this may differ depending on who you take your course with. Taking an intensive driving course could work out cheaper than spreading your lessons out over a long period of time.
Do intensive driving courses work for beginners?
The short answer is YES, but this depends on you and getting the right driving instructor who is an expert in doing them. They are not for everyone, but if you have limited time or a limited budget, it is by far the best way to learn to drive.
Can I learn to drive in a week?
One week driving courses are designed to do exactly as they say on the tin. You spend 4-6 days learning how to drive and round off the week with the practical test. Passing in such a short amount of time sounds great, but there's no magic formula here.
What is the difference between crash course and intensive course?
A crash course is fast and covers the essentials. Intensive learning involves depth and detail and involves more effort and focus over this short period of time you've set apart.
Is automatic easier than manual?
The most obvious benefit is that driving an automatic is considerably easier than driving a manual car. Driving can be less stressful, and it may be safer too. After all, if you don't have to worry about gear changes, you'll be able to focus entirely on the road ahead of you.
Are automatic cars better for nervous drivers?
Automatics are often a good choice for learners who need to pass their test sooner. Nervous drivers will also be able to build up their confidence more quickly if they don't have to worry about the clutch.
Do you have to do a theory test for automatic?
You usually need to take the theory test before you can get your full car driving licence. You do not need to take the car theory test if you: want to upgrade an automatic car licence to a manual one.
What happens in an automatic driving test?
The automatic driving test is a simplified version of the full driving test — because learners don't need to learn how to master a clutch or manual gears leaving them to concentrate on accelerating, steering, braking, manoeuvres and identifying possible hazards.
Can I become a driving instructor with 6 points on my licence?
Have held a driving licence for at least 3 years. Be able to read a licence plate at 90 feet (27.5m) – glasses or contacts are OK. Have no more than 6 points on your licence. Allow the Government (DVSA) to complete Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check.
