You should only take your driving test once you have an adequate amount of experience. Ideally, this experience, or at least most of it, should come from a professional source, i.e. a driving school or driving instructor. Whilst there are generally high standards in the industry, it still pays to know what to look for when you’re choosing  a driving school.

You will probably notice that different driving schools are differently sized, some might be a part of a very large company like the AA whereas others might have just one or two instructors. Each option has its benefits and disadvantages, e.g. a smaller school might have more of a personal touch whereas a larger school might have access to driving simulators etc.

You need to look at driving schools in your area as it’s not always the case that you’ll have easy access. If you live in a big city like London then you’re bound to find several driving schools nearby, and these days you can look online for example for driving lessons Wandsworth or driving lessons Mitcham.

The internet is not only a great place to look for driving schools and instructors but it’s also an excellent research tool. You can use the internet to discuss various driving schools in forums and hopefully you’ll also be able to find lots of relevant and reliable reviews from past drivers (hopefully “passed drivers.”)

Whilst it is true that less people are learning to drive, being able to drive remains an extremely valuable skill. Not only can it give you a great sense of freedom, but it could even help you to get a job with driving a sought after skill in all kinds of professions.It’s true that you can take  your test again and again however this is an expensive business and so you’ll want to pass as soon as you can, preferably first time. Here are some tips:

Manage Your Nerves

A driving test might be your first exam since leaving school and so the nerves can really build up. Some nerves are good, however you don’t want to have a panic attack. You can avoid nerves by ensuring you have enough preparation and not paying attention to any driving test horror stories.

Do Lots of Research

Nowadays there is a theory test as well as a practical exam and so you do need to have some academic knowledge about driving and road safety. The internet is a great research tool and lots of reading can really benefit how you drive.

Get Enough Experience

Experience is the key, and is the most effective way to improve your driving skills. There are driving schools all around the country, including driving schools Croydon and driving lessons Croydon. Only take a driving exam when you feel you’ve got enough practical experience.
