Driving lessons in Cannock: your questions
Where do Cannock learners take their driving test?

Cannock no longer has its own test centre. Most local learners book at Featherstone (Cat & Kitten Lane), a short drive down the A460, and Stafford is another option. Always check GOV.UK for the latest centres when you book.
Do you cover Hednesford, Heath Hayes and Cheslyn Hay?

How old do I need to be to start driving lessons?
+
You can start driving lessons on public roads from age 17 with a provisional licence. You can apply for your provisional licence on GOV.UK from 15 years and 9 months.
Do I need to pass my theory test before I start lessons?
+
No. You can start lessons straight away with a provisional licence. You do need to pass your theory test before you can book your practical driving test.
How many driving lessons will I need?
+
Everyone is different. DVSA figures suggest the average learner needs around 45 hours of lessons with an instructor plus about 22 hours of private practice. After your first lesson we'll give you an honest idea of what you need.
Should I learn in a manual or an automatic?
+
A manual licence lets you drive both manual and automatic cars. An automatic licence only covers automatics, but many learners find automatics quicker to pick up. We'll help you decide.
