Getting you on the road

Some useful information for learning to drive

You need a little theory

I recommend a theory app to help you gain that important knowledge and theory behind driving a car, It is designed by Driving Test Success. It covers everything you need to pass your theory test and costs only £4.99 available on Apple and Android. Ohh and if you don’t first time you get your money back, I mean who wants their money back?

Tracking your progress

I have teamed up with MyDriveTime who have developed a fantastic for tracking progress in theory, lessons etc. There is a great student app to which allows you to follow progress throughout your learning journey.

When you sign up to learn with me I will send you a link, where you can download the app and link directly with me.

Not only that but if you install the theory app I can also see your progress and help you on your way to passing the theory too.

Here is a link to a which shows you how it works.

Driving test theory

You need to book your driving theory test and this can be done straight away, I recommend you buy at minimum a copy of the highway code, or download the app, there are also a lot of practice apps available too, when we meet we can discuss some options.

Study, then study more, you may as well as you do not want to attempt it more than once.

It is fairly straight forward, you have 57 minutes (which is pretty generous) to answer 50 multiple-choice questions. you need to score minimum 43 out of 50.

There are 15 video clips lasting 1 minute each, there will be at least 1 hazard that you need to identify, you score points based on when you spot the hazard, you will need to score minimum 44 out of 75. further details can be found here

The practical driving test

Throughout our lessons there will come a time when we have a discussion that will go along the lines of “you are ready to book your test”. This is an exciting feeling for both you and me, we will have discussed and agreed together where you will do your test and you are then ready to do it. There is a breakdown of what is involved during the test here. We will have prepared for the day including the need to do some extra revision around the show me tell me questions which you will be asked to answer, 1 simple question from each category more details can be found here.

I am an Approved Driving Instructor working with RED Driving School, along side my own driving school in and around my base which is in Crayford, Kent.

My driving lessons are delivered in a manual Renault Clio car, the Renault Clio is a great learner car, because it is very forgiving and easy to use which is exactly what a LEARNER needs helping to put you at ease.
