Make Sure You Have A Valid Provisional Licence Before You Start Your First Driving Lesson.

Are you ready to start learning to drive with 4front Driving School?

Do you have a valid provisional licence?

Before you can start your driving lessons you must hold a valid provisional driving licence that is in date with an up to date address on it.

If you don’t already have a provisional licence then you will need to apply for one through DVLA before you can go out for your first lesson.

You can apply for your licence online at
www.direct.gov.uk

Or ask for an application form from your local Post Office.

You need to be 17 years of age or older to hold a valid provisional car driving licence, but you can apply for it up to three months before your 17th birthday. But it won't be valid for you to use the licence until the date of your 17th birthday.

Please note that it is your responsibility as the licence holder or applicant to notify the DVLA of any medical condition that may affect safe driving.

# You will be ask produce your photocard licence for inspection on your first lesson. It is your responsibility to provide your instructor with proof that you have a valid licence to drive, before you start your first lesson. If you fail to provide your licence then your instructor is entitled to refuse taking you out for the lesson and may charge you for the inconvenience that it has caused.

Sat Nav In Your Driving Test

Sat Nav In Your Driving Test This part of the test is your independent driving part and it’ll last around 20 minutes - roughly half of the test. Following directions from a sat nav During the independent driving part of the test, most candidates will be asked to follow directions from a sat nav. The examiner will provide the sat nav (a TomTom Start 52) and set it up. You won’t need to set the route - the examiner will do this for you. So, it doesn’t matter what make or model of sat nav you practise with. You can’t follow directions from your own sat nav during the test - you have to use the one supplied by the examiner. You’ll be able to ask the examiner for confirmation of where you’re going if you’re not sure. It won’t matter if you go the wrong way unless you nake a fault while doing it. One in 5 driving tests won’t use a sat nav. You’ll need to follow traffic signs instead. If you are interested in learning to drive then please call Simon at 4front Driving School on 0790565722...

Pedestrian crossings get put into two main categories – uncontrolled and traffic light controlled. For all crossings: -In queuing traffic, you should keep the crossing clear. On approach to a crossing there will be white zigzag lines on both sides of the road to highlight there is a pedestrian crossing ahead – these also prevent people parking at any time and is a place you make no attempt to overtake. You should take extra care where the view of either side of the crossing is blocked by queuing traffic or incorrectly parked vehicles. Pedestrians may be crossing between stationary vehicles. Allow pedestrians plenty of time to cross and ...
