FAQs
Do I have to pass my theory before starting lessons?
No. But you must pass your theory to be able to take your practical test. It is best to study for your theory and take it as soon as possible, then you can put into practice what you have learned when taking your lessons.
What do I need to take with me to my lessons?
Have both parts of your licence and be wearing any contact lenses or glasses if required. Wear a comfortable pair of shoes, no high heals and shoes with thick soles should be avoided.
Will it be just me or do I share with an other pupil?
You will never share with anyone on a lesson. Piggy backing as it is sometimes referred to is where one pupil is asked to collect the next pupil, who then drives the first pupil home. Some driving schools use this practice to save time and money. At DKL you will have the full lesson time to yourself.
Where will I take the practical?
Normally you will take it at a test centre nearest to you. In Belfast there are two, Balmoral of the Boucher Road and Dill Road in East Belfast. At DKL we operate mainly from Balmoral, Dill Road, Lisburn and Newtownards centres.
Is it true the examiners are only allowed to pass so many candidates and if you take your test near the end of the week you are more likely to fail if they have filled their quota?
No. There are no test quotas. You will be assessed on your ability to drive safely and to the required standard. The examiner cannot make up faults if they do not exist.
This information can be found on the FAQ page on our website.
