There are three parts to passing your driving test :
the theory test
the hazard perception test
the practical driving test
The Driving Theory Test.
The driving theory test is a 50 question, multiple choice test. To pass, you must answer 30 or more questions correctly within 57 minutes. The questions are chosen at random from a bank of over 1,000 questions covering all driving topics.
The Hazard Perception Test.
Part Two of your driving theory test shows you a series of 14 one-minute video clips, each showing potential hazards involving road conditions, pedestrians or road users.
There are 15 hazards to identify and you can score up to five points on each one, depending on how quickly you identify them. The faster you identify a hazard which would affect the driver, the higher you score. You need to score at least 43 out of 75 to pass this test. The fee for the combined theory and hazard perception test is £30.00.
Theory and Hazard Perception Training.
This part of your training comes in two parts, both of which must be passed before you can apply for the practical driving test. The training is FREE and help can be supplied in the way of either reading material or software for your computer. Should you require any further assistance, one to one training is always available.
Driving Lessons are carried out to DSA requirements. The full DSA syllabus is covered and from the very start of your training I will keep you fully up to date with your progress. You will also be supplied with a drivers log book, so that at any time during your course you will have a personal record of how you are performing.

Intensive Driving Courses.
Intensive courses are becoming more and more popular, because you will learn to drive over a one or two week period, depending on experience, rather than take up to eight months. Whether you spread the course over one or two weeks will depend on whether you have already had some driving tuition.

Refresher Driving Lessons
These lessons are for drivers who have a full license, but may have not driven for quite some time and need to rediscover those skills they once had. It can be a very rewarding experience and will give you the confidence to get back behind the wheel and onto the open road again.

Tip to pass your driving test "FIRST TIME" The difference in success or failure is not how you look, not how you dress, not even how you're educated. It's how you think! In many ways we're all alike; however, one little difference always makes a BIG difference. The little difference is Attitude. http://www.powerofattitudemovie.com/
The Highway Code is essential reading for everybody learning to drive. It contains all of the rules and regs that relate to driving in the UK. As a driver, it's your duty to know these rules - and remember if you don't abide by them, you'll be breaking the law and could end up being prosecuted. This could lead to you losing your licence, so it's worth getting to know what's what!
