How long will it take to learn to drive here?

Time to learn varies with individual ability and lesson frequency. Many learners in rural areas average several months with weekly lessons, while those who book intensive courses can be ready faster.

Which test centre will I most likely use from Loxwood?

You will most likely use Crawley test centre, about 12.7 miles away, though Guildford and Burgess Hill are alternative options. Choose a centre based on available dates and the type of roads you want to practice on.

Do local roads in Loxwood make the test harder or easier?

Local lanes are narrow with blind bends and limited passing places, which can challenge new drivers but also build precise control. Practising on these roads helps when you face similar hazards on the test route.

Is instructor availability a problem in Loxwood?

With five instructors in the area, there is some choice, but demand at popular times can outstrip supply. Book early and ask about block bookings or waiting lists to secure regular lesson slots.

Should I practice at other nearby test centres?

Yes, trying a mock test at Guildford or Burgess Hill can be useful because their pass rates differ, Guildford 46.3% and Burgess Hill 45.1%, Data source: DVSA 2024-2025. Different roads and traffic levels at each centre give broader experience.

What should I do on test day when driving from Loxwood?

Allow extra time for the drive to Crawley, plan your route and check for traffic near junctions. Bring your provisional licence and theory pass, and try a local mock test beforehand to reduce nerves.

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.
