Frequently Asked
Questions
What kind of car
will I be learning
in?
I currently teach in
a 3 door, Renault
Clio, 1.5 Diesel.
What car will I take
my test in?
You can take your
test in any car,
providing head
restraints,
seatbelts and extra
mirrors are fitted, however it
is always best to
take the test in the
car you learn in.
How much will it
cost me?
Prices vary
depending if you pay
per lesson, or use
the block booking
discounts, please
check the courses
page for more
details.
How many lessons
will I need?
Research by the DSA
shows that the
current average
amount of lessons
required is 42 with
a further 22 hours
of private practice
to pass. Remember
this is only an
average, the
majority pass in
fewer lessons.
During your training
you will be advised
of the likely number
of lessons required.
Do you do intensive
courses?
Yes as long as my
diary allows!
How will I know when
I am ready for test?
Once all subjects
have been covered
and you are able to
drive/perform all
manoeuvres without
assistance then I
will provide you
with a test date.
Can I take Pass Plus
with you?
Yes I am qualified
to teach Pass Plus
and also registered
on Hampshire's Pass
Plus scheme.
Can I have lessons
at the weekends?
Obviously there is
limited availability
at weekends, but I
do endeavour to work
at least one if not
both weekend
mornings.
I've heard I should
book my test for the
beginning of the
week as the
examiners have
limited amount of
passes, is that
true?
There is no evidence
to suggest that this
is true, and brings
up a good point that
a lot of people hear
a lot of things
regarding driving
lessons/tests, most
of which are not
true, which makes it
all the more
important to take
your training with a
Government Approved
Driving Instructor,
such as myself as we
will provide you
with the facts and
skills required to
pass your test.
Will you be able to
provide me with any
help/advice in order
to pass my theory
test?
Yes as
well as covering
areas in the driving
lesson I can also
provide you with
software to help .
Is it a
good idea to
practice with family
between lessons?
Extra practice can
always help
providing it is
structured and done
in the right way, I
can provide notes to
give to your family
to assist with your
practice between
lessons.
I have already
failed my test
before, would
changing instructors
help me pass?
Sometimes a
different set of
eyes
can give a different
prospective of
possible problems,
so a change can
sometimes help.
Sometimes I might
need to be picked up
from work or
college, is this okay?
This is fine as long
as I have prior
notice and am able to
arrange my diary
accordingly.
I need to cancel my
lesson, will I still
be charged?
Under my terms and
conditions a minimum
of 24 hours notice
is needed, however
there are some
circumstances to
which the 24 hour
notice may be
waived.
