- What do I need to do before I can start driving?
You need to be at least 17 years of age and if you have not already done so, apply for a provisional license from the
DVLA. You can do this online or by getting an application form from the post office. It is also worth having an eyesight check, but in any event, ensure you can read a standard car number plate at 20.5 metres.

Driving lessons are preferred block booking 11 hours for £200 then £20 per hour after that runs out.

The number of lessons required varies from student to student and is dependent on many factors, such as age availability and learning style. Your instructor will, however, monitor your progress with our individual learning plan "Track Record" and keep you fully informed.
