How many lessons will I need? |
The answer is always difficult but will depend on any
road experience you already have, cycling and motorcycle experience can help
but above all - it's the dedication you give to your lessons and any
aptitude you may have. Some books believe that a two hour lesson for every
year of age gives a good guide but rest assured we at Dedham Vale will help
you progress as quickly and safely as possible and will continually monitor
your progress and keep you in touch with your progression.

How will I know when I'm ready
for my test? |
Your Instructor will always
keep you in touch with the tasks ahead and once he/she has taught you the
syllabus, they will offer you a mock test. Another Local School Of Motoring
Instructor will meet you on a lesson and will play the part of a driving
test examiner. This represents the most realistic mock test available and at
the end of the test - you will know whether your driving is up to standard

Can I start driving lessons
before passing my theory test? |
We recommend you take practical lessons while preparing
for your theory test. The combination of practical experience with
theoretical learning should help you perform better at the theory test.

Can I take my car theory test
before my 17th birthday? |
You can only take your theory test once your
provisional licence becomes valid. For a car this will be your 17th
birthday. You can, however book your theory test before your 17th birthday.
Candidates in receipt of Disability Mobility Allowance at the higher rate
may take their theory test before their 17th birthday as long as they have a
valid provisional licence
|
What car will I use for my test? |
You will use the car you trained to drive in with us,
we normally pick you up an hour before your test time, to give plenty of
time before the test and also get in a couple of manoeuvres to help settle
an nerves. The cost is priced at the equivalent to a two-hour lesson.
