Here are a few popular questions asked at Aim to Pass Driving School. If your question isn’t listed below, we are more than happy to answer you. Please get in contact using the contact form and we will be in touch shortly.
How do I apply for my Provisional licence?
You can apply for your provisional licence up to 3 months before your 17th Birthday but it will not be valid until you actually turn 17 so you will not be able to take lessons on a public road, or take your theory test until then.
You can apply for your first British provisional driving licence online if you:
- Are a resident of Great Britain.
- Meet the minimum age requirement.
- Can meet the minimum eyesight requirement.
- Are currently not prevented from driving for any reason.
- Can pay by Mastercard, Visa, Maestro, Electron, Delta or Solo debit or credit card.
- Have a valid UK passport or another form of identity.
- Can provide addresses of where you have lived over the last three years.
As a photo is required for your licence the DVLA can use your passport photo if you have one. If you don’t have one, or you want to use a different one, this will need to be sent to the DVLA separately.
You can find costs for all licence types here.
What's the Theory Test about?
Find your local theory test centre here.
Only once you have passed this can you apply to take your practical driving test.
The actual theory test questions are no longer published which means that those found in revision materials of any kind will give you an idea of the questions and answers to expect but will NOT be exactly the same as those you will face during the test itself. This change was introduced to ensure you gain a better understanding of driving theory rather than simply memorising questions and answers.
What's the Hazard Perception Test all about?
The Practical Test... What's involved?
During the ‘independent driving’ section of the test you will be asked to follow a series of road signs or directions that are shown to you when parked up at the side of a road.
Book your practical test . Please note you should always check with your instructor before doing this yourself.
Go to the official Gov site for more information on the practical driving test and many other aspects involved in learning to drive.

Lessons
Cancellations
If a cancellation is received within this period, the full cost of the lesson will be due with NO exceptions as ALL pupils are treated equally and fairly. If repeated cancellations occur, i.e. more than 2 times, the Instructor reserves the right to discuss whether to continue training the pupil, as successful driving lessons depend on continuity of tuition, and it affects my potential income. This policy is in place to maintain this progress and helps us to run a professional business. Your Instructor will make their cancellation policy known to you on the first lesson. You will be given as much notice as possible if circumstances force your instructor to cancel a lesson.
