6. What is the most efficient way to learn to drive?
This depends very much on individual preferences, but most learners naturally become tired and less attentive after 2 hours of driving tuition. Therefore it is recommended not to exceed 2 hours of lessons at a time or to have a break in-between. In order to maintain the efficiency of your learning, it is important to continue with driving lessons on a very regular basis.
7. How often should I take lesson?
How often you have your lessons is entirely up to you. At BEST Driving School recommends at least 1 session of 2 hours per week. The more lessons you take the quicker you will learn and the more money you will save. A 1-hour lesson taken once a week would equate to taking between 6 months to 9 months to learn to drive. This is for new drivers.
8. How many lessons will I need to learn to drive ?
This depends very much on your general skills, age and the time you can invest in your driving lessons. According to official statistics, the average person should takes about 40 hours practical driving training with an approved instructor plus private practice to pass the test. Generally, learners who have been cycling, riding a moped or have similar experience will learn to drive more easily. However, our friendly and professional instructors are trained to teach also those who are less skilled!

From experience, there is generally no significant difference between the amount of lessons needed for anxious learners and those who are relatively confident.

12. I have recently moved to the UK, and I am on International driving licence, can I transfer the driving licence from my home country?
Foreign licence holders from countries (not from EU ) specified on the DVLA website are generally allowed to drive in the UK for 12 months but have to pass a test before this time elapses in order to continue to drive as a “full licence holder”. To apply for the test foreign licence holders need a provisional licence just as UK applicants, but don’t have to display “L”-plates and don’t have to drive under supervision within the 12 months period. However, we highly recommend to take driving lessons with a professional driving Instructor at BEST Driving School – even if you are an experienced driver, the UK driving test is very demanding and often underestimated.
