F.A.Q.
How many lessons?
While every trainee learns at varying paces, the national average or recommended number of lessons is equivalent to 45 hours. This should also be supplemented where possible with private practice under supervision with L plates and appropriate insurance cover.
I hold an EU licence...
In order to satisfy the requirements of residency a person is considered to be a resident if they reside in the UK for more than 185 days a year.
If you are over the age of 68 when you became resident in Great Britain you can only drive for 3 years, after which time you must exchange your EU licence for a UK licence.
What is an advanced driving test?
There are a number of organisations that facilitate advanced driving tests, such as RoSPA, the Institute for Advanced Motorists and the Cardington test.
Can I use my own vehicle to train?
What is a black box?
Commonly referred to as a black box this device can be fitted to most vehicles, and records the drivers driving characteristics e.g. acceleration, braking, cornering and engine idling all in real time. Such systems which come under the rubric of “telematics” can provide insurance companies with the data they need to monitor risk levels of their customers, this can save the customer hundreds of pounds, though can also lead to nullifying of their insurance or steeper premiums if they drive outside of set parameters. Telematics systems also provide feedback for drivers to help them improve their driving and benefit from lower insurance premiums, and many other benefits.
I hold an international licence...
If you hold a licence from Northern Ireland, you can exchange it for a UK licence if it was issued on or after 1st January 1976.
If you hold a licence from Jersey, Guernsey or Isle of Man you can exchange it for a UK licence if it was issued on or after 1st April 1991.
If you hold a licence from any other international country you can’t exchange your licence for a UK licence, but you can drive for up to 12 months on your international licence.
Why take an advanced driving test?
There are many benefits to becoming an advanced driver, not least of which is reduced insurance premiums. Other benefits include reduced fuel consumption, increased vehicle longevity, and most importantly reduced risk of a road traffic collision. Driving is one of the most dangerous day-to-day activities that we do.
What is UK familiarisation training?
Individuals opting for UK familiarization training will greatly benefit from such training, as there are many facets to driving in the UK that may either never have previously been encountered, or which are very different to what may be practiced or accepted in other countries.
