Best Driving Schools in Kingston Upon Thames

Although you can already drive, to pass the practical test in this country, you need to take driving lessons to get used to the roads here. Also, the standard of driving required to pass your practical test in this country is probably the highest in the world. If you have been driving for a few years, the likelihood is that you have developed bad habits. To pass the practical test you need to correct them. That is where the driving lessons come in. We recommend you take an assessment lesson to begin with, and then take at least one lesson per week to brush up on your skills and get rid of those bad habits. At the same time start preparing for your theory test by taking theory lessons at our office. Once the theory test is passed book your practical test and carry on with your lessons until the test date. This way you will probably pass the practical test first time.

Our driving instructors are trained to teach you theory and practical, ensuring that you receive the best tuition possible. At the end of each driving lesson you and your driving instructor will recap what you learnt and set an objective of what you will learn during the next lesson as this will help you maintain a steady progress.

You can and as long as you can drive the car safely then you can hire the instructor's car for the test. However, you will probably fail the test. Some cut back on lessons to save money. But in the long run, after failing a few tests they realise that it's actually cost more. So if you can afford it, try and take the recommended amount of lessons before your test as then you will stand a better chance of passing it first time.

All of our drivers are fully qualified Instructors who are able to offer FREE theory test advice and assistance to pupils. Ask your Instructor for more help and information.

Before you start taking driving lessons, you must have a current and valid provisional driving licence. Forms for a provisional licence may be obtained from the Post Office. As a requirement for undertaking driving lessons, you must be able to read a vehicle registration plate from 20.5 metres or 20 metres for the new-style plates. To hold a licence to drive you must also satisfy the statutory medical criteria, details of which may found on the Driver and Vehicle Licensing website. UK residents holding a full driving licence issued in another EU/EEA* member state may drive in the UK until their 70th birthday, or can exchange their licence for a British one at any time.
