What happens in your first lesson
Your instructor will pick you up from a place that suits you, check your licence and eyesight, then start with the cockpit drill and the main controls. Most learners are moving the car under control by the end of the first hour. There is no pressure and no silly questions, everyone starts somewhere.
What to bring
- Your provisional driving licence (the photocard). This is a legal requirement, your instructor cannot teach you without seeing it.
- Glasses or contact lenses if you need them to read a number plate at 20 metres.
- Comfortable, flat shoes so you can feel the pedals. Avoid heavy boots, heels or flip-flops.
- Your theory test pass certificate if you already have it (you will need the number to book your practical test later).
What you do not need
You do not need your own car, L-plates or any insurance of your own. We provide a fully insured, dual-controlled car with a DVSA approved instructor, so there are two sets of controls and you are always safe.
Before your lesson
Be fit to drive: well rested, and with no alcohol or anything that could affect your driving. If you feel unwell, just let us know and we will rearrange.
