At Dudley male pass rate is 50.7% and female pass rate is 40.2%, showing a clear gap. Data source: DVSA 2024-2025. This is a reported statistic and does not explain individual causes.

Is instructor availability limited at peak times?

Evenings and weekends are busiest, so popular instructors can fill up quickly. Book trial lessons early and ask about cancellation lists to get quicker slots.

Are there many tests at Dudley each year?

Dudley runs about 10,474 tests a year, so it is a well-used centre. This level of testing means you should book in advance to secure preferred dates.

Should I consider nearby centres like Wolverhampton or Wednesbury?

Wolverhampton has a pass rate of 47.5% and Wednesbury 32.8%, so results vary by centre. Data source: DVSA 2024-2025. You can choose a different centre if dates or routes suit you better.

Some local instructors offer intensive lessons or block bookings that cover many hours over a short period. Expect higher daily costs for intensive training but fewer weeks of lessons overall.

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?

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.
