Test Tip Of The Month For Merthyr Tydfil

If you notice the examiner marking something on the marking sheet, don't panic! There are other elements of the test that they need to mark that don't mean you have received a recorded fault. They have to mark down when a manoeuvre, hill start, angled moving off and more are completed.

Useful Driving Test Tip For Merthyr Tydfil

Did you know you can touch the gear lever if you are unsure of what gear you are in? Some cars will tell you what gear you are in, and others don't. If in doubt, briefly touch the gear lever and based on its position, you should be able to identify what gear you are in without looking down.

Frequently asked questions...

Your driving instructor will come to collect you from a location convenient for you. They will introduce themselves, putting you at ease before you get behind the wheel. In this initial chat, they will also ask you about your previous experience, go over the basics of the car, do an eyesight check and check your provisional licence.

Once this is done, your instructor will start you practising driving. They will cover moving off and stopping, clutch control, the different pedals and how to steer. You will always begin in a quiet, residential road in Merthyr Tydfil or the surrounding areas, such as Clywyfagwyr, Ochy-r-Myndd or Trefechan, to learn at your own pace.

As everyone comes to their driving lessons in Merthyr Tydfil with different levels of experience, confidence and skill, we cannot give you a precise duration. However, we do know that with us, the average amount of driving lessons it takes to pass is 26 hours. The national average amount to pass is 57 - that means that our learners are spending less than half the amount of time to pass than the average person!

Firstly, you have come to the right people! At driveJohnson's, we are popular in the region for helping people to pass their driving tests quickly, first time, whilst ensuring this is achieved safely. If you wish to fast-track our learning experience, we would recommend an intensive driving course with us to help you pass as quickly as possible. This would start with an assessment lesson with a local driving instructor where they would evaluate where you are at, what you need to work on and advise how many hours you will need to be test-ready. For further information, check out our intensive driving course page or give our enquiries line a call on 0330 124 4877 to discuss it with a member of our helpful office team.
