Frequently Asked Questions
Helpful answers before you book.
When should I start practical test preparation?
Ideally, begin focused preparation once you can drive independently in most everyday situations and your instructor believes you are approaching test standard.
Can I book lessons if I learned with another instructor?
Yes. A test-preparation lesson can be used to assess your current driving and identify any areas that need attention.
Do you practise driving test routes?
Lessons can use local roads and situations commonly found around the area, but preparation should focus on safe, adaptable driving rather than memorising a fixed route.
Can you help with manoeuvres?
Yes. Lessons can include parking and other manoeuvres as well as observations, control and decision-making around them.
