FAQ
How long is a theory test pass valid?
Your theory test result is valid for 2 years. If you haven't passed your practical test within that period, you will need to sit your theory test again.

Can I have evening and weekend lessons?
Yes, we are very flexible with scheduling lessons. Most evenings and weekends are also available.
I've heard that test examiners fail every other test they do – is that true?
Myths about driving examiners abound – and this is one of them. It is not true. If you are worried about your practical examination, talk to your driving instructor about how the test works, and what you may be asked to do on your route.
What are considered as dangerous and serious driving faults (or 'major' faults) on your practical driving test?
During a test you're allowed up to 15 driving faults (often referred to as minors) in order to pass a test. A major fault occurs when the examiner deems it necessary to intervene in some way due to concerns over the safety of the driver, surrounding vehicles or pedestrians. Any major fault automatically incurs a failed test.
What is a major fault for failing?
There will always be some element of judgement on the part of the examiner when making assessments. But here's an example scenario that can give an idea of the difference between a major and minor fault.
Imagine turning left from a major road into a minor road, and the rear wheel bumps on to the kerb on the way round. This would be a driving fault (also known as a minor fault), and not necessarily a fail.
Imagine that same scenario, but the front wheel bumps up onto the kerb followed by the rear wheel. This would be a serious fault, and therefore a fail. If a pedestrian is waiting to cross the road and they are forced to move out of the way, then this too would be a dangerous fault and a fail.
