Frequently Asked Questions
  • What do I need before I start to drive?
    The only thing you need to start to drive is a Provisional Driving Licence. You can obtain a Form D1 at most Post Offices or apply online. You will be asked to provide original documents to accompany the Form.
  • What literature do I need for my theory test?
    There are many different books and cd roms which are very useful. The Highway Code is the book that most people have heard of, but that on its own will not cover everything you need to pass your theory test.
    Please visit the TSO Bookstore for relevant literature.
  • Do I need to pass my theory before I start to drive?
    No. In fact it can be helpful if you have had some driving experience before you sit your theory test as practical knowledge can help you to understand the theory.
  • Where are the theory tests held?
    You can either sit your theory test in Torquay or Exeter, whichever is most convenient.
  • Can you book my theory & practical tests for me?
    I have booked many tests both theory and practical for previous students and would be happy to do the same for you. However, if you would rather book your tests yourself then you can visit the DirectGov webpage.
  • I have several questions about lessons, can you help me?
    Yes, simply navigate to our Driving Lesson q&a's for more advice.
