Are pass rates for the Belfast test centre available?

Pass-rate figures for Belfast (Boucher Road) are not provided in the dataset, so they cannot be reported here. You may be able to request recent statistics directly from DVSA or check their public reports.

How do local roads around Caledon affect lessons?

Local roads tend to be narrower and quieter than urban routes, which helps with clutch control and observation practice. You should also practise joining busier roads and roundabouts on routes into larger towns to get used to higher traffic volumes.

Is it better to take lessons in Caledon or travel to a nearby town?

Start locally to build basic skills on quieter roads, then take lessons in a nearby town or in Belfast to gain experience in busier traffic. Combining both types of lessons gives a broader experience for test preparation.

Does any nearby test centre have a higher pass rate?

Stranraer is listed with a 56.6% pass rate (Data source: DVSA, data period not provided), but it is 78.8 miles away and not directly comparable to closer centres. Use national and local figures together to assess trends, but check the specific centre you plan to use.

What should I check when booking a test from Caledon?

Allow extra travel time when booking, especially for weekday peak hours, and confirm parking and arrival instructions at the test centre. If you need an instructor to accompany you, check their availability for the test date and for practice runs to the centre.

How much do driving lessons cost?

Driving lesson prices vary by location and instructor, typically ranging from £30 to £45 per hour. Many instructors offer discounted rates for block bookings of 10 or more lessons. First lessons are often discounted to help you get started.

How many driving lessons will I need to pass?

Most learners need between 40 to 50 hours of professional tuition, plus around 20 hours of private practice. However, this varies based on your confidence, how quickly you learn, and how often you practice between lessons.

Should I learn in a manual or automatic car?

If you pass in an automatic, you can only drive automatic cars. Passing in a manual gives you the flexibility to drive both. Automatics are easier to learn in and becoming more popular, especially with electric vehicles on the rise.

How do I book my driving test?

You can book your practical driving test online through the DVSA website or by calling their booking line. You will need your provisional licence number and your theory test pass certificate number. Tests cost £62 on weekdays or £75 on evenings and weekends.

What should I look for in a driving instructor?

Look for a fully qualified ADI (Approved Driving Instructor) with good reviews. Consider their availability, the type of car they use, their teaching style, and whether they offer the lesson times you need. A good instructor should be patient, clear in their explanations, and make you feel comfortable.

Can I use my own car for driving lessons?

Most instructors prefer to use their own dual-controlled vehicles for safety reasons. However, some may offer lessons in your car for an additional fee. You would need to ensure your car is properly insured for learner driver use.
