AFTER PASSING YOUR THEORY
Once you’ve passed your theory test, your instructor will tell you how ready you are for your practical test. Naturally, we want you to pass first time. So here are a few ways we can give you that extra edge. Your Track Record log book keeps tabs on your progress – showing you where your strengths are and what skills you’ll need to brush up on.

TAKING DRIVING PRACTICE
We recommend plenty of practice between lessons. Ask your instructor which manoeuvres you should run through; and remember, if you’re practising with friends or family; make sure you’re covered on their car insurance policy.
