Should I practise on the A316 before my test?

Are there quieter times for lessons in Twickenham?

Early mornings on weekdays are usually calmer, while evenings and weekend afternoons get busier. Avoid times when there are matches at Twickenham Stadium if possible.

Can I find intensive courses or block bookings in Twickenham?

Should I learn in a manual or automatic car?

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.
