What You Need to Know Before Your First Driving Lesson

Important lesson guidelines so you are fully prepared

Provisional Driving Licence

It is compulsory that you have a valid provisional driving licence before driving on UK roads. Therefore, you must bring your plastic photocard to your first lesson for a mandatory check. Also, to meet DVSA regulations, your licence must show your current address.

DVLA Check Code

To comply with Advance Driving School insurance, you will need to generate a temporary “check code” using the official GOV.UK online service. Once you have the code, you can simply text or email it to us before your first lesson.

Eyesight Check

Before you start to drive, a quick eyesight check is made to ensure that you can read a standard car number plate from 20 metres away (approx. 5 parked cars). Please ensure you are wearing your glasses or contact lenses if you need them for driving.

Sensible Footwear

You are encouraged to wear flat, or low wedge comfortable shoes or trainers for your lessons. In particular, please avoid wearing high heels, boots, or slip-on sliders and mules, as they can make it harder to control the pedals safely.

No Car Sharing

Every lesson is strictly one-to-one. Therefore, you will never share the car with another learner, and friends or family cannot come along as passengers. Essentially, this ensures we can fully focus on your lessons without any distractions.

Lesson Pick-Up

No need to worry about arriving late for your lessons as you will be collected directly from your home, work, or college for every single lesson. Also, you can be dropped off at a different place afterwards so long as it is in the local area and you let your driving instructor know in advance.
