Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take for me to pass my driving test?
It all depends on the individual and how quickly they gain the skills and how hard they work. Younger students often pick it up quicker, as your brain is more receptive to learning new skills.
How many hours are required for a full licence?
The DVSA advises 40 hours practice; We at Wythall Driving School feel this is a bit high, but really it depends on the individual and how quickly they learn the skills necessary to pass
How often should I have my lessons?
We personally feel pupils taking 2 hours lessons learn more from them. This enables you to get more practice around the test centre and branch out a bit more.
Do you offer lessons for automatic transmission?
Absolutely. We have a fleet of both manual and automatic cars. Just let us know your preference when you sign up.
What is the best material for studying the theory test?
Every person has their own learning preferences, we recommend the DVLA app, however you can learn from books if you prefer, as long as they are the DVLA ones as they are official and up to date.
If I pass my test, will I be able to drive right away?
Yes, you can; However the examiner will take away your provisional license when you pass. Your new license will take around 20 working days to arrive in the post.
Is the DVLA limited on the people to pass per day?
No, they do not have a quota to hit, it all depends on your skill and confidence on the road.
Which test centre should I book my test with?
All test centres use different routes they use throughout the test; These routes contain different challenges and conditions for any driver.
We at Wythall Driving School take students on variable routes, meaning lessons being about different challenges for the student.
