OK pop down to your local post office and get an application form (D1), and an application for photo-card driving licence (D750) complete them, ensuring you fill in all relevant parts and send off with a colour passport-sized photograph, along with a cheque/postal order.

You need to have, in your possession, a valid UK provisional licence before lessons can begin.

Have you passed your theory test?
Yes No

OK pop down to your local bookstore and purchase a Highway Code (£1.49) and a theory test question book. There are several available, probably the most thorough one is the DSA Official Theory Test Book for Car Drivers, or a CD-rom which will help you with the Hazard Perception part of the test.

Don't get a dated second-hand book from a friend, as these books tend to be re-published annually and you will find that there may be a lot of questions missing.

Once you have studied the theory book and Highway Code and you are answering around 90% of the questions accurately, you are probably ready to book your theory test. This can be done by telephoning 0300 200 1122, or online at the DSA website.

You will be required to quote your driving licence number to book the theory test. The local theory test centres are Watford, Luton and Stevenage.

Please note it is not a requirement for you to have passed a theory test to start driving lessons.

Again, please mention this when you phone me to book your lessons. If possible, please bring your test report form with you to the first lesson.

Can I book my next driving test?
Yes No

Once a suitable standard of driving has been achieved. I will advise you when that occurs, that's why you pay me. If a test is already booked, it may be necessary to move it if you are not up to the required standard.

Not until an assessment lesson has been taken.
