    DVSA's '45 hour' message to all learner drivers in the UK

    5 days ago

    The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has issued a warning to all learner drivers. On their website, and in an email sent to people who have passed their theory test, the agency urged people to consider their situation before booking a practical test. As part of its Ready to Pass? advice, it notes that people may need around 45 hours of lessons in total to pass. They may also need additional hours of private practice before they are test-ready. On its website, it explains: "It might sound obvious, but if you’re looking for an earlier driving test, you need to be ready to take it. With the driving test pass rate under 50%, it’s clear that many people take the test before they’re ready." If you are not test-ready, do not go ahead with the test, study more and cancel in plenty of time. If you go ahead with the test and you don't feel like you can pass, the DVSA warns: "That ends up wasting their time and money – and it makes driving test waiting times longer for everyone. "Remember, research shows that, on average, it takes people 45 hours of driving lessons with a driving instructor plus 22 hours of private practice to pass their test. So, if you’re thinking of looking for an earlier driving test, you need to be confident that you’re ready to pass." 1. You do not need prompts from your driving instructor 2. You do not make serious or dangerous mistakes when you’re driving 3. You can pass mock driving tests 4. You have practised ways of managing your nerves 5. Your driving instructor agrees you’re ready
