Can I start driving lessons with an instructor before passing my theory test?
|
|
Yes. We
recommend you take practical lessons while preparing for your theory
test. The combination of practical experience with theoretical learning
should help you perform better at the theory test. |
| |
|
Do I need to take a theory test if I already have a full
licence? |
|
You will
need to take a theory test if you want a licence
for a new category of vehicle, for example, if you have a car
licence
and you want a motorcycle
licence
you will need to take a theory test. |
|
If, however, you want to upgrade within a vehicle category you will not
normally need to take a theory test, for example, if you have a full
automatic car
licence
and you want a manual car licence
you will not have to take a theory test. |
|
Please check with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) or the
Driving Standards Agency (DSA) if you are unsure if you should take a
theory test. |
| |
|
Can I take my car theory
test before my 17th birthday? |
| |
No. You
can only take your theory test once your provisional licence
becomes valid. For a car this will be your 17th birthday. You can,
however book your theory test before your 17th birthday. Candidates in
receipt of Disability Mobility Allowance at the higher rate may take
their theory test before their 17th birthday as long as they have a
valid provisional licence. |
| |
|
How many lessons must I have
before I can sit my practical test? |
|
There is
no set number of driving lessons you must have before sitting your
practical test. However, those who pass their driving test have had, on
average, about 45 hours of professional training, combined with 22 hours
of private practice. Candidates who combine professional instruction
with private practice are also more successful on the test. |
| |
|
I want to take a car test and I already hold a full
motorcycle
licence.
Do I need to pass a theory test? |
|
If you
obtained a full motorcycle
licence
before 1 February 2001, you are exempt from passing your car theory test
(but not practical test). If you passed your motorcycle test after 1
February 2001, you will need to pass a car theory test before taking a
practical test. |
| |
|
I want to take a motorcycle test and I already hold a
full car
licence.
Do I need to take a theory test? |
|
Yes. Your
car
licence
does not exempt you from taking the motorcycle theory test. |
| |
|
Can I use an automatic car for the driving test? |
|
Yes. If a
person passes a test in an automatic car then they are restricted to
driving vehicles with automatic transmission thereafter. A full
automatic
licence
acts as a provisional manual licence. |
| |
|
Who is eligible to take part in the Pass Plus scheme? |
|
Anyone
who holds a full UK driving
licence
can take up Pass Plus. However, some insurance company's will only give
a substantial discount on motor insurance premiums to those drivers who
obtain a Pass Plus certificate within a year of passing their driving
test. |
| |
|
How long does the Pass Plus
course last? |
|
This will
vary depending on the
aptitude
of the candidate but at least six hours tuition must be received. |
| |
|
Is there a test to take with
Pass Plus? |
|
Pass Plus
is assessment based, so there is no test to complete. |
| |
|
Do I have to take another
test if I want to tow a large trailer behind my car? |
|
It
depends on when you took and passed your car practical test. If you
passed your car practical test before 1 January 1997 you will not have
to sit another practical test. If you took your test after that date you
will have to sit another practical test depending on the weight of the
trailer and that of the overall combination. |
