Learning to Drive in Hendon

Learning to drive in Hendon or anywhere else in London can be fun as well as challenging. Most learner drivers take professional lessons from a driving school. However, you may if you wish, take lessons from a friend or a family member.

Learning to Drive with Parents/ Friends

You can practice driving with anyone provided they are at least 21 years old. They must also be qualified to drive the type of vehicle which you wish you learn to drive. Furthermore, they must have held a British or an EU driving license for at least 3 years. You can be fined up to £1000 and get 6 points for learning to drive without the correct supervision.

You will need to arrange your own car insurance if learning to drive in your own car. If you are learning to drive in someone else’s car, you need to make sure that they have insurance which covers you as a learner driver. By law, it is a criminal offence for anyone to take money in return for driving lessons unless they are either a qualified driving instructor or a licensed trainee instructor. You may report any person who charges you for driving lessons (that is not an instructor) to the DVSA.

Learning to Drive with a Driving Instructor

If like most learner drivers in Hendon, you go for professional driving lessons, it is important that you choose the right instructor for you. Firstly, you will need to decide whether you want to learn in a manual or automatic car. It is slightly harder to learn to drive in a manual car compared to an automatic. However, passing your driving test in a manual car means that you will be able to drive both manuals as well as automatic cars. In other words, you get two licences for the price of one.

Fast Track Driving Test in Hendon

The average waiting time for a practical test in North London is well over 2 months. This is not usually a problem as learner drivers tend to book their test before they are actually ready. However, the waiting time can be problematic if a learner driver fails his or her driving test.
