Before you start learning to drive...

Your eyesight
Make sure that you can read a number plate from a distance of 20.5 metres (67 feet). If you need to wear glasses or contact lenses to do this you must wear them whenever you drive. If you are not sure about your eyesight consult an optician before your first driving lesson.


	*Your driving licence* You will need to have received your driving licence before you can start learning to drive or apply for your theory test. If you have an old style paper licence (i.e. no photo id card) then you must have a valid passport as identification for your theory and practical test.

How many lessons will I need?
Everyone is different. The number of lessons you will need will depend on how easily you pick up the skills necessary to learn "Safe Driving for Life". After you have had a few lessons your instructor will be able to make an assessment of how long it may take you to learn.

What to wear for driving
Wear comfortable clothes. Bulky or tight-fitting jackets can restrict your movement of the steering wheel. Sensible, low-heeled shoes are the best. High heels or the ridged soles of trainers may affect your smooth use of the foot controls.

Teaching the physically disabled
Standard lessons are available for the physically disabled and those with learning difficulties on our automatic car. Our instructor is on the National Register of Driving Instructors qualified to teach people who are disabled. Free consultation and advice is available. If you are disabled and receive the higher rate of disability living allowance, you are entitled to drive from the age of 16.
