Driving lessons
From first lesson to test day.
If you’ve already had lessons, tell your instructor what you can do on your own and what you’d like to practise. Your first lesson can start from there.
-
Step 1
Your first lesson
Get comfortable with the controls, then practise moving off, steering and stopping on quieter roads.
-
Step 2
Moving onto busier roads
Practise judging gaps at junctions, choosing a lane at roundabouts and reading signs while watching for people crossing.
-
Step 3
Getting test-ready
Follow signs or sat nav directions with fewer prompts. Practise parking and reversing, and use feedback to see what still needs work.
Before your first lesson
- Bring your provisional driving licence. You need a valid licence before you can start learning on public roads.
- Bring glasses or contact lenses if you need them to drive. Check the driving eyesight rules before your lesson.
- Share any previous driving experience. Tell your instructor if you’ve had a break, if something in particular worries you, or if you already have a test booked.
Preparing for the practical test
Work towards driving safely without prompts. Practise following signs or sat nav directions, pulling away safely, parking, reversing and answering the vehicle safety questions.
Pass your theory test first. When you’re ready, choose a centre you can get to and practise around, then book your practical test yourself through GOV.UK.

What time should I choose for my driving test?
Choose a slot you can reach comfortably and practise in similar traffic conditions beforehand. Check roadworks, school traffic and local events along your journey. Read your local area guide for places to check.
Can I find out my driving test route in advance?
DVSA keeps its routes unpublished. Use practice to get comfortable with different junctions, speed limits and traffic conditions, including on unfamiliar roads. DVSA guide to the practical test
