I Know How to Drive, need to Pass DSA driving Test

I have heard it so many times before either from foreign licence holders or those who have 'taught' themselves, I know how to drive, I just want to pass the UK prctical driving test!

First of all, the DVSA driving examiner is going to be assessing you to a particular standard, that is why it is called a test, so knowing how to drive a car from A to B is only a third of the equation. You not only need to know what the examiner requirements are, you also MUST be able to drive consistently at the level which is why it is not usually possible for a foreign licence holder or an experienced car driver with bad habits to pass the practical test after just taking a 2 hour lesson!

DSA examiners are experienced drivers, and over 40 minutes it is very hard to hide habits that you have formed over the years from them, which is why those serious errors fail people.

I'm not saying this just so you can take more driving lessons with an instructor, but because you need to realise that if you practice driving at the standard expected on the test, and it becomes a habit, then you are less likely to make a mistake on the test thus increase your chances of passing and getting that pink licence.



A lot of candidates have access to insured cars but don't take the time to put in the effort to drive the way that is expected of them even after taking advice from an instructor.

If you require a high quality driving instructor who is very helpful, patient, honest and fully qualified, then why not call or send me a text message on 07956233032.
