The Theory Test:

The theory test is a two parts test. The first part is a multiple choice test and the second is a Hazard Perception test. Both parts are done on a computer by using a touch screen for the questions and a computer mouse for the hazard perception to test your response on 14 video clips.The theory test can be booked by visiting the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) website.

The Driving Test:

The driving test is a three parts test. First: You are required to read a number plate from a specified distance. Second: Answer a vehicle safety question. Thirdly: Demonstrate that you can drive safely in different types of road and traffic conditions and have a good theoretical understanding of the rules of the road and can prove this through your driving ability

The examiner will tell you the result at the end of the test and explain what driving faults that you may have accumulated throughout the test.

When you pass the examiner will send off your photo card driving licence to the DVLA providing your name has not changed. You should receive a full licence within 4 weeks.

Learners Drivers Can Now Legally Drive on Motorways

Learner drivers are now able to drive on a motorway providing they are accompanied by an Approved Driving Instructor in a dual controlled vehicle. 
  
This change will help learner drivers gain a broader understanding of how to enter and exit motorways, practice lane discipline and overtaking at higher speeds.

This will also help towards building the learner’s confidence and be better prepared as a qualified driver when driving unsupervised on the motorways.   

It is important to note that the change is only applicable to learner drivers in cars not motorcycles. Furthermore, a trainee driving instructor cannot take learner drivers on the motorway. 

Why are these changes being made?

The government has allowed learner drivers to drive on motorways so that they:

· Gain experience whilst accompanied by an Approved Driving Instructor

· Be more familiar with road procedures whilst driving solo on the motorway

· Be better prepared to overtake at high speeds

· Develop an understanding of motorway traffic signs and road layouts

· Have a better understanding of breakdown procedures

· Generally, build confidence and awareness

Driving instructor training

Instructors are required to use a dual controlled car and use a driving school roof sign or display L plates on the front and rear during motorway lessons.

It is important to be considerate to learner drivers on the motorways:

Always leave the correct distance from the vehicle in front and allow sufficient gaps when moving in after overtaking, especially on wet and icy roads. 

Learner driver’s anticipation and overall awareness regarding the actions of the other driver will be less than experience driver’s.

A New Rule - Learner drivers To Be Allowed on Motorways

Learner drivers have never been allowed to drive on motorways, but from Monday 4 June 2018, learner drivers will be able to take driving lessons on motorways.

Learner drivers will need to be accompanied by an Approved Driving Instructor in a dual controlled car. Motorway lessons are not mandatory and therefore remain the decision of the driving instructor regarding when the learner driver is competent enough for motorway lessons.

This will better prepare potential drivers on how to drive at high speeds, maintain lane discipline and overtake when required on multi-lane roads. The purpose of this exercise is to help improve overall safety, awareness and anticipation of the actions of other drivers at high speed.  

The change only applies to learner car drivers and it is important to remember that it is still illegal for a learner that is not accompanied by a driving instructor to drive on a motorway.

Trainee driving instructors are not allowed to take learner drivers on the motorway.

At this stage, motorway driving is not part of the driving test.

It may prove beneficial and practical to first practice on a dual carriageway because similar rules apply.

Some examples regarding learning goals to achieve on motorways are training on how to join and leave the motorway, overtake and use lanes correctly, practise driving at higher speeds, understand motorway specific traffic signs and understand what to do if a vehicle breaks down on a motorway.

These changes will help learner drivers develop a broader driving experience before taking their driving test and improve their confidence to drive on the motorway unsupervised after passing their driving test.
