It consists of 50 questions and 14 hazard perception clips.

A black box is used to monitor your driving in a number of ways and can be used to reduce insurance costs for a number of groups of people. In particular young or new drivers. There is a lot of technicalities to this and we are no experts in this, but you can check out more about this via the link below.

On the whole private practice is a really good idea for anyone learning to drive, it can help with confidence and allow learner drivers to develop their skills and as such generally we advocate this for our learners.

To book your tests you need your provisional driving licence details and a valid payment method. Use the links from our link page. If you google this it can often take you to sites that will take your details and charge you more for the privilege of booking it for you. Use the GOV.uk portal (Which our links take you to) and you can avoid this.
