After COVID-19, there was a huge backlog of learners wanting to take their driving tests and the industry is still being affected today. Currently, it can take up to 24 weeks or more for a driving test date to become available.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your instructor will give you guidance on when they feel as though you are ready, but if you don’t feel confident and feel you need more lessons, tell your instructor. alternatively, you can also practice at home with a friend or family member. You will need to have learner ‘L plates’ displayed on your vehicle and suitable learner driver insurance in place. The person accompanying you will also need to have had their full UK license for at least 3 years and be at least 21 years old.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you don’t, don’t be disheartened! It can be a great opportunity to identify any weak areas and where you need to improve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
