New Drivers
Apply for a provisional driving licence using a D1 Form obtained from most major post offices or alternatively online.
Send the completed D1 driving lesson form, payment and 2 passport photos to the DVLA.
Eyesight - if you are unsure of the quality of your eyesight it may be worth setting a check-up with the opticians. The regulations state you must be able to read the new style number plates from 20 meters away (66feet). You must also be medically fit to drive, thus check with your GP or the medical branch of the DVLA if you are unsure about any medication you are currently taking or any existing health problems.
Driving Tests
Firstly you need to take and pass the Driving Theory exam. This comprises of a multiple choice exam and a video simulation hazard perception test.
If you live in Leicester or Leicestershire, the nearest DSA driving test centre is Wellington Street in Leicester city centre.
If you require a mock test please see our links page.
NB. You may have driving lessons before you pass your theory test, although you cannot book the practical test until you pass this driving theory exam.
The final stage is your practical driving test, an intensive driving exam which may last up to 40 minutes.
You have up to 2 years to take this after you pass your DSA driving theory exam.
After Passing
One thing you may consider after passing your test is PASS PLUS driving qualification. This is a scheme created by the DSA to improve the experience of newly passed drivers.
By completing this course, participating insurance companies recognise an improvement in your driving standards, and thus, annual premiums for your car insurance are reduced.
For more information on attending a PASS PLUS driving course and the cost, please see our pricing page.
Well done, you have now learnt a new life changing skill. Good luck and safe driving!
