4 Questions To Ask Yourself Before Starting Driving Lessons in Leeds

Starting your driving lessons in Leeds, or anywhere else in the UK, is a big commitment. Not only is it a huge financial investment, but it is also time-consuming so you need to make sure you are committed before starting. There are 4 very simple questions you should ask yourself before you start learning to make sure you are ready to go all the way.

Do I have the time to start taking driving tuition?

Normal practice when taking driving lessons is to take 2 hours of training per week with a professional driving instructor, but this can differ depending on how fast a pupil wants to pass their test. But as well as hours in tuition time you also have other things to do (e.g. pass your theory test and read driving materials). All of these things take time and if you don't have the time to spare, then it is probably best not to start your driving lessons Leeds until you do.

Do I have the money to start driving lessons?

Working on the basis that normal practice is to take 2 hours of tuition per week and the normal rate of driving lessons in Leeds is around £20 per hour (which will vary from city to city), you will need a spare £40 a week to take driving tuition. In addition to this you also have to take into account your theory and practical test fees. Most say that the money they spent on learning to drive is a great investment and glad they did it sooner rather than later. But if you really can't afford to take driving lessons right away it is best to save up and start later, as this will in effect take you longer and cost more.

Do I have the right documentation before I book?

Having the right documents before you start learning is important for a number of reasons. Firstly it is illegal to be on the road without them and secondly it will hold up your learning process. All you need to start taking lessons is a provisional driving licence which you get by simply sending off a form to the Driver and Vehicle Licening Agency (DVLA). This is all your instructors will ask on your first lesson, but on the day of your practical driving test you will also need to present a theory test certificate which you get when you pass the driving theory test. You can choose to do this before you start your tuition, or afterwards it is totally up to you!

How quick do I want to pass?

If you want to pass your test quickly and have a lot of spare time an intensive driving course could be a perfect choice for you. But for this you will need the money up front and a lot of spare time. Most learners just stick with the normal routine of doing a couple of hours a week as this suits them more.

Asking these four questions will make sure that when you start your driving lessons in Leeds you will continue with them right through up until you pass your driving test.
