Driving Lessons Dundee

Q: What test do I need to take?

There are 3 tests to gain your full driving license. The first two tests are taken together (theory & hazard perception) and must both be passed. The final test is the practical driving test and must be passed within 2 years of passing the first two.

Q: How long does it take to learn to drive?

It depends on your commitment. Regular weekly lessons help you progress faster, while irregular lessons may stretch learning over months.

Q: How long are your driving lessons?

All lessons last 1 hour, but you can take 60/90/120/180 minute sessions if preferred. Some cheaper schools only offer 50-minute lessons.

Q: What is a provisional license?

You must apply for a provisional license before starting lessons. Without it you are not insured and cannot legally drive on the road.

Q: Can’t I just learn with my family?

Yes, but the person teaching must be over 21, have held a full license for 3+ years, and the car must be roadworthy, insured for a learner, and display L plates. Professional instruction ensures you learn correctly for the driving test.

How do I book a driving lesson in Dundee?

What car will I learn to drive in?

We have a good variety of cars from super-minis to large SUVs. Typically expect your lessons to happen in a Ford Fiesta / Vauxhall Corsa sized car. If you have any special requirements then feel free to ask us!

How many driving lessons will I need?

The UK average is 47 driving lessons and 22 hours of private practice before your driving test, but everyone is different. We’ve seen people pass in as little as 10 hours and others take longer. After your first few driving lessons your driving instructor will be able to give you an idea roughly how many lessons you will need.

What test do I need to take?

There are 3 tests you need to take to gain your full driving license. The first 2 tests are taken together, these are the theory test and the hazard perception test. You have to pass them both together. The final test is your practical driving test and this must be passed within 2 years of passing your first 2 tests.

How long does it take to learn to drive?

This is down to you. We see two types of learners, those committed to learning and taking regular weekly lessons, and those who aren’t too bothered and will cancel a lesson and then re-arrange for 2-3 weeks time. You can pass as quickly as you want, but if you don’t have the dedication or motivation to pass you can spend months trying to get your driving license.

How long are your driving lessons?

Our driving lessons all last 1 hour, but you can take them in 60/90/120/180 minute sessions if you prefer - speak to your driving instructor about your options if you want to do longer lessons. Note - some cheaper driving school only offer 50 minute driving lessons.

What is a provisional license?

You need to apply for a provisional driving license before you can start driving lessons. Without a provisional license you are not insured for driving on the road - we will ask to see your provisional on your first lesson.

Can’t I just learn with my family?

Yes you can, however the person teaching you must meet certain criteria (Over 21, Have had a full license for over 3 years are the basic requirements) you must then also make sure the car is roadworthy, fully insured for a learner driver and displaying the legal L plates. The most important thing is the person teaching / supervising you needs to know what is expected for your driving test and teach you correctly. If you want to speak to your driving instructor and ask for some advice.
