Test tip of the month for Hartlepool

It’s common when turning left at a blind T-junction to look right and only look left when the car goes into a new road. You will often get away with this, but now and again, something will be there, like a parked car or a pedestrian about to walk out. On your test, you’ll fail, and in real life, you’ll have a severe accident. Be sure to do the minimum observations for T-junctions: right, left, right and then look into the road before you emerge into it!

Useful driving test tip for Hartlepool

When you go for your test, try to aim for perfection. If your standards are that high, you may make some faults, but you will still pass. If you aim to scrape through the test or say to yourself, "I don't care if I fail", you probably won't pass. Consider having more lessons until you feel comfortable with your ability and when your instructor is praising you.

Frequently asked questions...

How can I prepare myself for my first driving lesson in Hartlepool?

There's not much you need to do before your first driving lesson in Hartlepool, just ensure you have your provisional licence ready to take with you to your first lesson and try to relax and look forward to it. View our helpful guide to find out what to expect during your first driving lesson to find out more.

Should I have a 1-hour taster lesson or 2-hour assessment lesson?

Our 1-hour taster lesson is a great way for complete beginners to get a sense for what learning to drive is like and to meet their driving instructor before committing to a block of lessons. It's a good way to start learning to drive, especially if you're nervous or unsure what to expect.

Our 2-hour assessment lesson is perfect for anyone who wants to know how many hours they'll need before they take their driving test. The assessment lesson is also useful for those who have some previous driving experience and want to see what kind of level their driving is at.
