Frequently Asked Questions
or rather
The questions you should be asking!
| 1) | How much do lessons cost? |
|
All lesson prices are shown on the prices page. |
|
| 2) | How many lessons will I need? |
|
It is impossible to say how many lessons an individual will require. The present advice from the DSA is that a pupil needs about 40 hours of driving practice to reach the standard required to pass the driving test. |
|
| 3) | When can I start? |
|
It depends on when you are available. At the moment if you have time during the day, you could start within a week. |
|
| 4) | Must my lesson be at the same time each week? |
|
Not necessarily. Many of my pupils are on shift work or have fortnightly college timetable. Driving lessons will be arranged to suit. |
|
| 5) | Can I have more than one lesson per week? |
|
Of course, you can have as many lessons as I am able to fit into my schedule. |
|
| 6) | Do you do intensive courses? |
|
Not in the recognised sense. This would mean that I am unavailable to teach all my other pupils. However I will provide you with as many lessons per week as I can manage. |
|
| 7) | Do you do "Automatic" lessons? |
|
No, I drive a Volkswagen Polo 1.4 Diesel with Manual gearbox. |
|
| 8) | What is HPT? |
|
This is the Hazard Perception test which is taken at the same time as the Theory Test. You must pass both parts (at the same time) before you can book a practical test. |
|
| 9) | What help can you offer for the Theory Test? |
|
I can provide you access to the eDriving Solutions web site which provides the DSA Theory Questions, HPT practise and video training to support my lessons. These will incur a small additional charge (see prices page). My links page provides access to other Theory practise sites. |
|
| 10) | How do I book my first Lesson? |
| Please telephone me. We can then discuss your requirements and book a lesson at an appropriate time. | |
| 11) | What car do you use? |
| You will drive a Volkswagen Polo 1.4 Diesel with Manual gearbox.. It was new in March 2008. |
