  • What are the most common reasons for failing the driving test?

 

1 Observation at junctions   - ineffective observation and judgement
2 Reverse parking - ineffective observation or a lack of accuracy
3 Use of mirrors - not checking or not acting on the information
4 Reversing around a corner - ineffective observation or a lack of accuracy
5 Incorrect use of signals - not cancelling or giving misleading signals
6 Moving away safely - ineffective observation
7 Incorrect positioning on the road - at roundabouts or on bends
8 Lack of steering control - steering too early or leaving it too late
9 Incorrect positioning to turn right - at junctions and in one way streets
10 Inappropriate speed - travelling too slowly or being hesitant

            So, five out of the ten are to do with being OBSERVANT,  LOOKING and using MIRRORS.

  • Do Driving Examiners work to a quota?

                  No, if you drive correctly and safely on your test you WILL pass.

  • How many lessons will I need?

                The short answer is "How long is a piece of string?"   Everyone is different, some (a very small number)   have a natural inclination for driving, others may find it more difficult.   Some may have access to a family car for private practise, this could well cut down the amount of professional tuition needed.   As a VERY rough guide the average 17 to 19 year old will take between 35 and 40 hours.   Some may take less, others could well take more.  As you get older you will probably take more hours, for example the average 30 year old could take between 50 and 56 hours.  A good way of cutting the number of hours is by taking 2 hour lessons instead of single hours!

  • What do I have to do before I can start my lessons?

              You must be 17 or over and in possession of a current, valid provisional licence.   You can get one by applying to the DVLA . 

  • Do you do Automatic Tuition?

                         For Automatic Tuition please telephone Dianne Ogglesby on Luton 664417.

  • What is the difference between a Trainee Driving Instructor
    and Fully Qualified Driving Instructor?

    Trainee Instructors (PDI - Potential Driving Instructor) can be granted a temporary licence to teach while they finish the training for the test of their ability to instruct. This licence normally lasts 6 months. A fully qualified Driving Instructor (ADI - Approved Driving Instructor) has passed all the relevant tests. A PDI will have to display a pink certificate in the window while teaching, while an ADI has to show their green certificate. Without either of these, or with one that has expired, a person can not legally take money for driving lessons. Below is an example of what they look like.
