Question 1

I am a nervous driver — do you work with anxious learners?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many of our pupils come with significant anxiety or after difficult experiences elsewhere. Our instructors are trained in calm, structured coaching and always begin in quiet streets before gradually introducing busier roads — entirely at your pace, never rushing you towards a test date.

Question 2

What happens on my very first lesson?

Accepted Answer

Your first session starts with a relaxed conversation about your goals, previous experience, and any concerns. We then cover basic controls and safety checks before your first drive — always starting in a quiet street or car park to build confidence from day one.

Question 3

What happens if the DVSA cancels my test?

Accepted Answer

DVSA occasionally cancels tests due to examiner availability or severe weather. Your fee is protected and you will be rebooked. Contact your instructor immediately so lesson continuity can be maintained until your new date is confirmed.

Question 4

How are pupils matched with instructors?

Accepted Answer

When you enquire we note your location, preferred times, any specific requirements such as a female instructor or language preference, and your learning style. We match you with the most suitable available instructor in your area rather than simply the nearest available slot.

Question 5

How many lessons will I typically need before my test?

Accepted Answer

The DVSA estimates most learners need around 45 hours of professional tuition and 22 hours of private practice. In reality, lesson frequency, prior experience, and consistency matter far more than any average. Your instructor will give you an honest, personal estimate as you progress.

Question 6

How many mock tests should I take before my actual test?

Accepted Answer

One or two well-timed mock tests are usually sufficient. The value comes from the realistic pressure and the detailed feedback — not from repeating them excessively. Your instructor will advise based on your individual development and the specific areas identified in each debrief.

Question 7

Does the mock test include the independent driving section?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The independent driving section — following sat-nav directions or road signs for around 20 minutes — is fully included. Many learners find this the most nerve-wracking part of the test. Practising it under mock conditions in Leeds traffic makes a significant difference on the real day.

Question 8

Do I receive written feedback after my mock test?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You receive a full debrief covering all 24 DVSA competency areas using the same marking categories as the real test sheet. This gives you and your instructor a precise, prioritised list of what needs attention before your actual test date.

Question 9

When in my learning should I take a mock test?

Accepted Answer

Ideally two to four weeks before your booked test date, once your instructor considers you broadly test-ready. Taking a mock too early can be discouraging. One well-timed mock two to three weeks before your test gives enough time to address any issues identified in the debrief.

Question 10

Do lessons cover pedestrian crossings and school zones near Garforth?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Pedestrian crossings, school zones, and bus stops are part of everyday driving and are assessed on the practical test. We incorporate them into lessons from an early stage and specifically practise at local Garforth crossings and busy school-run times when appropriate.

Question 11

Can I practise on the roads immediately near the Leeds test centre?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In the weeks before your test we can arrange sessions starting from the test centre itself, practising the car park, the immediate exit roads, and the junctions examiners commonly use at the start of the test. Familiarity with that specific environment reduces test-day nerves significantly.

Question 12

Where do you pick up and drop off in Garforth?

Accepted Answer

Your instructor meets you at a convenient location in Garforth — typically your home, workplace, or nearest safe pick-up point. At the end of the lesson they drop you back to your starting point or another convenient location. There is no need to travel to a school or office.

Question 13

What do driving test routes typically look like in Leeds?

Accepted Answer

Leeds test routes include a representative range of road types — residential streets, main roads, roundabouts, and dual carriageways. Your instructor practises you extensively on the types of roads used locally so you encounter nothing unexpected on the day, even without following the exact DVSA route.

Question 14

Do lessons in Leeds cover dual carriageway driving?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dual carriageway driving — joining safely, maintaining lane discipline, and exiting — is part of the DVSA syllabus and is included in the independent driving section of the test. Your instructor introduces dual carriageways when your observation and speed management are ready for it.
