To learn to drive & pass your driving test, you’ll need to know the theory & practical aspects of
driving a car. To start with, you’ll need to apply for a provisional driving licence. You can get the
forms from the Post Office or apply online on the DVLA website.
Starting off
Driving theory can be learnt at home, though if you’d prefer some help with this we can certainly guide
you through. Alongside this of course, you can also begin your driving journey. We cover all aspects of
the DVLA’s syllabus, step by step and at your own pace. You can see the steps here.
More advanced driving
Once you’ve passed, you may also wish to study more advanced techniques as well as look to gain
further qualifications. These can have added benefits including potentially lowering your insurance
premiums, which, for a new driver can be high.
Pass-plus, as well as organisations such as IAM Roadstmart (Institute of Advanced Motorists) and
RoSPA are examples of these qualifications.
Practice
Part of learning to drive it to become comfortable with the basics. Although you don’t need to, some
students like to backup their lessons with additional practice, with their friends or family. This is fine &
allows you to put into practice what you’ve recently leaned. But please ensure that you - and they, fully
understand the law and what’s required.
Country lane driving
Living in the South West will often involve driving along country lanes with high hedges, single lane
roads, passing places, pedestrians & animals in the road etc. These runs are targeted specifically at
these types of roads, concentrating on car positioning, making progress, anticipation etc.
The tests
To become a driver in your own right, you’ll need to pass both a theory/hazard perception test and a
practical driving test.
More details can be found here.
Motorway driving
As part of the driving course, we will cover dual carriageways, multi-lane roads and motorways. These
are faster moving roads, where traffic conditions & potential issue can appear from behind as well as
ahead.
