F.A.Q

Do I need my provisional driving licence to start driving lessons?

Yes. As an unqualified driver you'll need a provisional licence before you take to the roads.

Is automatic quicker to pass than a manual driving test?

No, not really. It will only take you a couple of hours to understand and change gear to a reasonable standard and after a few driving lessons, this should become second nature to you.

Can I just learn to drive an automatic car without learning manual?

Yes you can but this only entitles you to drive an automatic car. Passing your manual driving test qualifies you to drive both manual and automatic cars.

Can I drive on dual carriageways when learning?

Yes, you can, in fact, it is an important skill to learn. However, you can only drive on the motorway once you have passed your driving test.

How long is my theory test pass valid, if I have not yet passed my practical test?

Your theory pass is valid for two years. If you do not pass your practical test in this time, the theory pass will expire and you will have to retake your theory test.

What age can i start my driving lessons?

You can start your driving lessons on your 17th birthday or anytime after.
