FAQ
Driving lessons in Wolverhampton: your questions
Which test centre is best for Wolverhampton learners?
+
It depends where you live. South of the city, Wolverhampton (Spring Road, Ettingshall) is closest. North of the city, Featherstone is often more convenient. We'll help you choose when you're ready to book.
Can I learn in an automatic in Wolverhampton?
+
Ask when you get in touch and we'll tell you what's available. With an automatic licence you can only drive automatic cars, while a manual licence covers both.
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.
