Driving Lessons
How long will it take me to learn?
Research has shown that, on average, people who take about 45 hours of professional instruction combined with about 22 hours of extra private practice, stand the best chance of passing the test. Some people need more lessons and practice than others. (Source "Driving for Life", DSA)
Theory test
You must pass your theory test before you can apply for your practical driving test date. The official theory test consists of two parts. The first part is a computer based multiple choice question format of 50 questions. 43 or more of those questions must be answered correctly in order to pass this section. Please click on the driving and theory test link on the left of this page.
Following the question section comes the HPT or Hazard Perception Test. A series of video clips are shown on the computer monitor, these are scenes of actual driving, shot from within a moving vehicle. You will be required to correctly identify a number of moving or developing hazards, within a given time scale.
