Frequently asked questions:

How many lessons do I need to take before I take my driving test?

Whilst there isn’t a minimum number of lessons or hours you must take before you book or sit your practical test. The DVSA says that most learners require 45 hours of driving lessons, in addition to around 20 hours of practice with a friend or family member.

Can I practice my driving outside of my lessons?

If you choose to practice your driving with a friend or family member you must ensure that:

  • They’re qualified to drive the type of vehicle you want to learn in e.g. they must hold a manual licence if they’re supervising you in a manual vehicle

  • They’ve held their licence for a minimum of 3 years
