WELCOME TO PEDALS DRIVING TUITION
Theory Test
With Pedals, you can learn to drive and pass your test in a professional and enjoyable atmosphere.
The driving theory test is a 50 question, multiple choice test using a computer touch screen. To pass, you must answer 43 or more questions correctly within 57 minutes.
The questions are chosen at random from a bank of over 1,000 questions covering all driving topics.
You have to obtain a pass in the theory & hazard perception test before you can apply for the practical driving test.
The fee for the combined theory and hazard perception test is £31.00.
Hazard Perception Test
The Hazard perception test is again carried out on a computer and will continue after three minutes of completing the theory test. The test will contain 14 video clips each lasting about one minute. Each clip contains one or more various hazards and you have to respond to them by pressing the mouse button as soon as you see the hazard developing. There are 15 score able hazards in total.
The earlier you respond the higher your score. A total of 75 points are available and you have to score at least 44 to pass.
You have to obtain a pass in the theory & hazard perception test before you can apply for the practical driving test.
The fee for the combined theory and hazard perception test is £31.00.
The Practical Driving Test
At your practical driving test, you will have 40 minutes to demonstrate everything you have learned in your driving lessons .
You'll need to show you can drive competently and safely in all kinds of driving situations. You'll be asked to do two of the three reversing maneuvers that you've practiced, possibly make an emergency stop and answer two vehicle safety check questions, one 'show me' and one 'tell me'.
To pass, you will have to complete the test with no serious faults and less than 16 minor errors. A weekday test costs £62.00. For an evening or weekend appointment, it will be £75.
The current national average practical driving test pass rate is 43%, so it makes sense to be as prepared as possible, as your driving instructor I will advise you when you are ready for the test and also help you to understand the main reasons people fail.
If you fail your practical driving test, but pass your theory, you need only sit the practical next time. You will be ready for the test when you have reached the standard set out in The official Driving Test book.
At this point you will be able to drive consistently well, with confidence and without help or guidance . Waiting until you are ready will in the end save you money. I will carry out a mock test to provide you with a true reflection of your driving in readiness for the test.
