Private Practice vs Lessons Only

Supplementing lessons with private practice can cut your learning time by 40%. Here are the rules.

Rules for Private Practice

  • You must have a valid provisional driving licence
  • Your supervising driver must be 21+ and held a full licence for 3+ years
  • The car must be insured for you as a learner driver
  • L-plates (D-plates in Wales) must be displayed front and rear
  • You cannot drive on motorways (even with a supervisor)

Don't pick up bad habits

Your supervising driver may have habits that would fail you on test (e.g. one-handed steering, coasting). Stick to what your instructor teaches.
