Here are some points for you to consider:-
You will need your Provisional Driving Licence before you commence your driving tuition.

The Hazard Perception / Theory Test
Even though the theory test is relatively straight forward, it is important that you practice both the questions and the hazard perception part of the test. As part of your driving lessons we will help and advise you on this section of the test. There are a wide variety of products available to help you revise and practice this part of the test.
