Time to pass varies widely by learner, lesson frequency and confidence. Regular weekly lessons with focused practice usually get most learners ready within a few months, but some take longer.

Is the Bromley test centre busy and should I book early?

Bromley handles about 1,354 tests a year, so popular dates can fill up, especially at short notice. Book your preferred date early and consider weekday or off-peak slots if you can.

Should I practise on routes to West Wickham or Wick as well as Bromley?

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.
