How long does it usually take to pass in this area?

Learning time varies by learner, but many people take regular lessons over several months to build confidence on both village lanes and busier town roads. Your instructor will advise when you are ready to take mock tests and book the real test at Loughborough.

Do local driving tests include roundabouts and town centre driving?

Yes, tests from Loughborough commonly include roundabouts and town centre sections, along with residential junctions. Practice those manoeuvres during lessons and ask your instructor for local mock routes.

Is instructor availability a problem in Mountsorrel?

With three local instructors, peak-time slots can fill up quickly, so book early to secure preferred lesson times. Consider flexible times or block bookings to get regular slots and steady progress.

Should I practice near the test centre before my test?

Yes, a few practice drives into Loughborough help you learn junctions and likely roundabout layouts near the test route. Familiarity reduces stress on test day and helps with independent driving sections.

How busy is Loughborough test centre?

Loughborough handles around 5,532 tests per year, so it is a well-used centre. Booking demand can be high, so check dates early and consider instructor-led test-centre practice. Data source: DVSA 2024-2025.

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.
