So, you want to learn to drive?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Everyone learns in different ways. So, when you join Love Driving School we will create a plan that suits your individual needs to give you the best chance of passing your test and becoming a safe and confident driver for life.<\/p>\n

You can take as many lessons as you like per week (we recommend at least two hours each week, as this helps to put what you learn, into practice), but it’s entirely up to you – we’ll fit around your lifestyle.<\/p>\n

How long will it take?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The national average currently sits at around 46 professional tuition hours with an additional 20 private hours. However, a Love Driving School\u00a0personalised plan to suit your individual\u00a0needs can significantly reduce this time scale.<\/p>\n

The benefits of driving lessons with Love Driving School.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We only have fully qualified instructors, ensuring that you gain the most knowledge and practical\u00a0experience in every driving\u00a0lesson, so that we can develop your skills and get you to test standard as quickly as possible. We take a relaxed and friendly approach which we believe is far more\u00a0conducive to learning. We want driving lessons to be enjoyable and stress-free – you learn faster that way! Our cars are dual control and chosen\u00a0with the learner in mind.<\/p>\n

Prepare for your driving lesson…
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Come suitably dressed! Be comfortable and wear sensible shoes (yes we know this sounds boring but it does make a huge difference to your driving ability when learning)\u00a0no flip-flops, stilettos or work boots please.<\/p>\n

Think ahead. You’ll need to be aware and alert during your driving lesson.<\/p>\n

Don’t drink alcohol before the driving lesson\u00a0(you can still be \u2018over the limit\u2019 the next day). Tell your instructor if you’re unwell, some medicines can make you drowsy so you may not be safe to drive. It\u2019s perfectly natural to feel nervous when you first start learning to drive. Tell your instructor how you’re feeling – remember we\u2019ve seen it all before and will be able to help you overcome any doubts.<\/p>\n

You must follow the rules… you can still get penalty points as a learner before you pass your test (speeding for example). So come prepared, knowing your Highway Code and your\u00a0responsibility as a driver.<\/p>\n

Theory Test Guide<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

You will need to pass a theory test before you can take your practical driving test. The theory test is made of two sections, a multiple-choice knowledge section followed by a hazard perception section. To pass you will need to correctly answer 43 of the 50 multiple choice questions and score a minimum of 44 out of the available 75 points in the Hazard perception test. You will receive your results and a certificate shortly after completing the test.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
