Tips for Passing Your Driving Test First Time

In today’s day and age, knowing how to drive is pretty much essential. With a large portion of the population owning cars, the roads are busier than ever before. Driving doesn’t just make it easier for you to get from one place to another – many career options require candidates to have a full driving license, and being qualified to drive can certainly open up plenty of opportunities to you that were previously out of reach. Whether you’ve just started thinking about taking driving lessons or are already well into learning, it’s good to know a few handy tips and tricks to help you pass your driving test as quickly as possible so that you can get on the road.

Don’t forget your driving theory

Until you have taken and passed your driving theory test, you won’t be able to sit for a practical driving test. Putting your driving theory test off could cost you time and money when it comes to learning to drive, so it’s best to get it out of the way as soon as possible so that you have one less thing to worry about. Many learners prefer to complete and pass the theory test before they even begin to take driving lessons so that they can put it to the back of their mind. Or, you might want to take your driving test after you begin learning so that you have a better understanding of road signs and spotting hazards, which you’ll be tested on. Either way, the sooner you pass your theory test, the sooner you’ll be able to take the practical test. Visit toptests.co.uk for some really helpful driving theory test practice.

Ask questions

One of the worst, but most common mistakes that new drivers make is not asking questions. Even if you think that your question seems silly, it’s better to have the answer than be left wondering about something as you go in for your practical test. Qualified driving instructors have probably been asked just about every question in the world pertaining to driving, so never think that you’re going to embarrass yourself – in fact, any good driving instructor will tell you that they’d rather you asked about anything you are unsure of. Whether you’re double checking that you’re reading a road sign correctly or need to know how to change the oil in your car’s engine, go ahead and ask your instructor – after all, that’s what you pay them for!

Practice and more practice

The more practice that you have before your practical test, the more confident and comfortable you will feel as a driver. As well as signing up for as many driving lessons as you can comfortably afford, it’s also a good idea to inquire about being insured on somebody else’s car in order to get more practice in. If you have a parent, other relative or friend who is over the age of 21 and has had their license for three years, you’ll be able to use their car to practice providing you are insured and they’re with you at all times.
