Test Tip Of The Month For Purley

Sometimes you may need help hearing or understanding the examiner's directions. Ask politely and immediately for them to repeat the instruction. Don't guess or ask when you are too close to the junction. You can re-enforce the direction by asking. The examiner will happily confirm this for you.

Useful Driving Test Tip For Purley

When you approach junctions, keep checking until you've decided to go. If the junction is blind, try leaning forward and moving your head as if watching a tennis match. If it's blind, don't be afraid to wind the window down to try and hear anything while you are creeping out to improve your view.

Frequently asked questions...

The amount of time it takes to pass your driving test varies from person to person; however, on average, learners in Purley pass with us after just 26 hours. Our driving instructors in Purley will help you pass your driving test in as little time as possible, turning you into a safe and qualified driver quickly and safely.

How often you take lessons will depend on your availability, budget and how quickly you'd like to pass. Many learners start with one or two driving lessons in Purley each week and then increase the frequency of their lessons as their driving test approaches.

We generally find that 2-hour lessons are the most effective way to learn. They give you plenty of time to settle into the lesson, gain experience in different driving situations and practise key skills such as manoeuvres. Longer lessons can help you make steady progress and get more value from your time behind the wheel.
