Frequently Asked Questions
1. What will I need to bring to my first lesson?
You need to bring your provisional driving licence (photo card and green
paper part). You are required to read a number plate from a distance of
20.5 metres, so bring your glasses (if worn).
2. Will I drive on my first lesson?
Yes you will. Learning to drive is a practical skill and you will learn more
from having a go. I will usually drive on the first lesson to a suitable and
safe place to start you off depending on where you live.
3. How many lessons will I need to pass the driving test?
There isn’t a set amount of lessons you need before you take your driving
test. The DSA recommends 45 hours of tuition with 20 hours private
practice. During the course of your driving lessons, it will become clear
as to how you are progressing and it will then be possible to estimate
when you may be ready to take your practical driving test.
4. Do I have to pass my theory / hazard test before I start learning to
drive?
No. You can start learning to drive and then start your theory whilst
learning. I have cd's, books and free mock test papers, which you can
borrow. However you do need to pass the theory/ hazard test before you
can book your practical driving test.
5. Can you pick me up or drop me off at Work/ College?
Yes. I can pick up or drop off at your place of work or college within the
local area. Alternatively if it is outside the local area I can pick up or drop
off at the train/bus station.
6. Will there be anyone else sat in the car with me?
It is my policy to give one to one tuition, however you are welcome to
bring a parent along to see how you are progressing.
7. Which car will I take my driving test in?
You will take the driving test in the car that you have been learning to
drive in. If I do change cars I plan the change not to be near any tests.

I had a great time learning to drive with Dean. I was very nervous at the start and not very confident but thanks to Dean for putting up with me and giving me the confidence to drive on my own!
