FAQs
How many driving lessons will I need?
We will teach you to drive properly, safely and competently on our complex, modern road systems. On average the DSA recommends around 45 hours with a qualified driving instructor, as well as additional private practice. This is, however, an average and you may well require fewer lessons than this or even a few more to get to the required driving test standard. There are various factors that come into this, mainly how frequent you take driving lessons as the longer gaps there are between lessons, the longer it will take you. Your driving instructor will assess your progress and advise you when to book your driving test
Will I have the same driving instructor throughout my lessons?
Yes. We have a very low turnover of instructors at High Performance as most have been trained by our in-house instructor training company and stay with the company for many years. The only time you would change instructors is if you weren`t happy with your driving instructor, which is very rare!
Do I use my instructor`s car for my driving test?
Yes, you would use your instructor`s car for the test and he/she will do a lesson immediately before your test (we usually pick you up 1 hour before your test) and the instructor will accompany you to the test centre
I have an old-style licence without a photo, can I still use it?
You can still use it, but make sure you take along a valid passport with you on test as proof of identity, if you fail to show the required documents you will not be allowed to take a test and will lose the fee.
Do High Performance offer intensive driving courses?
Yes we do offer intensive driving courses. These can be anything from one week upwards. Undertaking an intensive course will depend on several factors, such as previous experience and whether you have passed your theory test. If you want to go ahead, we will arrange a two hour driving assessment and advise you of your best route to test.
More info can be found on the FAQ page of our website.
