Obviously you will not be able to take the Practical
Driving Test until you are 17, but if you concentrate and develop your
skills in your off road lessons, you could be in a position to pass your Driving Test within a couple of weeks of your 17th
birthday. Well ahead of other 17
year olds. If you are serious about obtaining your licence sooner rather than
later your Instructor will help you to prepare for the Theory
Test & Hazard Perception Test using an on
board computer in the tuition vehicle.
We encourage candidates to prepare for and pass these tests as soon
as possible, you can take them on the day of your 17th birthday
as long as you have obtained your provisional driving licence, so that the
Practical Driving Test
can be booked as early as is
possible for a time very close to your 17th birthday. This way you will always have a target
to work towards, and you will remain focused for that date. If you need more
information or wish to book in contact us. As with any of our driving lessons book
early, avoid disappointment! We are now able to offer driving lessons to any one under the age of
17. We can do this because we have
permission to use Dunsfold Park,
the home of BBC Televisions Top Gear.
As the area is private and has no access to the general public we
use its many and varied roadways to prepare people for their driving test
before they are 17. We are able to teach nearly all the skills you would
learn if you were learning on the road. Learning to drive is a life-changing step. It brings you the freedom to travel, as you want when you
want. It can increase your
opportunities for employment, and enhance the way that you use your
valuable leisure time. Whichever way
you look at it, the advantages of having a full driving licence are
numerous. Acquiring the competencies and skills of a safe driver requires
dedication, determination, perseverance, and above all patience. Atest Drive
