What are the local hazards to practise for the test?

Local hazards include narrow country lanes, farm vehicles and busy junctions onto the A-roads. Also practise lane discipline and merging for short motorway runs towards Belfast.

Does Belfast (Boucher Road) have a published pass rate in this data?

No, the supplied data does not include a pass-rate figure for Belfast (Boucher Road). The data lists the centre name and distance only.

Why does Stranraer show a higher pass rate than the national average in the data?

The supplied data shows Stranraer with a pass rate of 56.6% (Data source: DVSA, period not specified), which is above the supplied national average of 47.3% (Data source: DVSA, period not specified). That centre is much further away at 56.3 miles, and local factors such as test routes and candidate mix can affect pass rates.

Should I be worried about booking tests because there are only two instructors locally?

Limited instructor numbers can mean fewer lesson slots and a longer wait for test readiness, so book lessons early. Instructors often help with test bookings and can advise on alternative nearby centres if needed.

Can I practise motorway driving before my test from Moira?

Yes, short motorway stints on the M1 are practical from Moira and useful before a test in Belfast. Make sure your instructor covers motorway rules and safe joining and lane discipline.

How do I book a theory and practical test when learning in Moira?

Apply for your provisional licence first and then book the theory test online via the official site. Once you pass the theory test, your instructor can advise when to book the practical test, typically at Belfast (Boucher Road) or another nearby 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.
