Is it possible to start my driving lessons before I have passed the theory test?
Generally, you will be advised to pass the theory test before you go for your practical driving lessons.

Here at Smart Drive UK, however, we understand that it is best to combine both theoretical and practical training. This way, you can bring what you learnt in theory practice and see how it works practically. Also, you will be better prepared for the theory test when you have started your driving lessons.

Booking your driving test
How do I book a test?
First, we suggest that you make your booking via the official Gov.UK website. Booking through a third-party website can end up costing you more. You are required to pass the theory test and hazard perception test before you can book the driving exam. Does this sound confusing? You don’t have to worry too much, because our instructors at Smart Drive UK will be on hand to guide you through it all.
How long do the tests take?
There are five parts to the practical driving exam, including independent driving, vehicle reversing, an eyesight check, safety questions, and driving ability. The process is the same for both manual and automatic transmission. You’ll only spend about 40 minutes taking the actual driving exam.
What you should expect on the day of the test.
Once you have shown your provisional licence and theory test certificate, you will be asked to read the digits of a licence plate a few feet away to prove you have good eyesight. Next, you will have to demonstrate your knowledge by answering a series of show and tell questions, but only if you pass the eye test. The next stage involves proving that you can successfully reverse a car and drive without issue on different types of roads. You will have to drive without guidance for about 20 minutes, in which the examiner may ask you to stop to test your ability to manage an emergency. In its entirety, the driving exam should not take more than 40 minutes or so. We understand that you may be extremely nervous during the practical driving exam, but remember that you have already encountered all you’ll have to do in your driving lessons.
What follows after the test?
What to expect before obtaining your full driving licence
Congratulations on passing your practical driving exam. This means you are now qualified to apply for a proper driving licence. Your licence will be processed by the DVLA once the results of the practical driving test are in. You should expect to receive this within three weeks of passing the practical driving exam. At Smart Drive UK, we are always available to guide you through the process up until you receive your driving licence. We will only have carried out our mandate when you have become a qualified and licensed driver.
