Local Driving Tips
Plan lessons that include travel time to Farnborough, as the test centre is not in the village. Ask your instructor to take you on practice runs that mirror the test centre routes so you recognise junctions and traffic patterns. Book mock tests on days and at times similar to your expected test slot, because traffic can vary through the day. If you consider Guildford or Basingstoke for a test, check travel time and parking before the day so you are not rushed. Keep a record of local lessons and test dates so you can spot which routes give you the most confidence.
Choosing an Instructor in Headley
Choose an instructor whose teaching style, transmission, location and availability suit you. We ask suitable instructors for their current lesson terms and show the exact price in the offer before you decide.
Getting Started
Apply for your provisional licence and start lessons with one of the 4 local instructors when you are ready. Prepare for and pass the theory test before you book a practical test at Farnborough, which is the nearest DVSA centre. Book practical tests with enough lead time to fit in mock tests and extra lessons if needed. Keep records of your lessons and test dates so you can plan retests or alternative centres if necessary.
