We recommend you apply and start preparing for your theory test as soon as you can, because this gives you the option of being able to apply for the driving test when ever you want. The waiting list for the theory test is about two weeks which is nothing compared to the driving test which is about 6 to 8 weeks.

The theory test consists of a multiple choice part and a hazard perception part.

The multiple choice part has 50 questions of which at least 43 must be answered correctly within 57 minutes. Then for the hazard perception part you will watch a series of 14 one minute clips showing real life road situations and you have to be able to identify the hazards in the clip. More information can be found on the DVSA website.

We advise you to apply for your provisional licence about 4 months before your 17th birthday so you can start having lessons as soon as you turn 17.

Once you start having lessons your instructor will be able to advise you how long you should take to pass the driving test. The current national average is about 45 hours of tuition and 22 hours of private practice, but we can ensure you that if you try your best you will pass a lot quicker than the national average. Our average is about 25 hours of tuition.
