Learning to Drive in Loughton

The Theory Test
In order to obtain a full UK drivers licence, the learner must pass the theory test followed by a practical test at Loughton. There are two theory test centres within easy reach of Loughton. These are located at 253 High Street, Ilford and 14 Thomas Road, London, E14 7AF.
The theory test consists of two parts, the multiple choice and hazard perception. Many learner drivers fail their theory test as they believe, being multiple choice, it would be easy. This is not the case, you must be prepared to revise for hours before attempting the theory test.

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.
