Learning to Drive
Requires hard work, dedication and the desire to learn and succeed.
With all of the above and lots of help from me, you will have all the ingredients for a successful test pass and a positive and safe attitude towards driving.
Private practice in a car with parents or friends can be a good way to accelerate your learning and gain more experience in between your lessons.
You can start to learn to drive as soon as you are 17 and have a provisional licence (see link to right).
You may apply for your licence up to 3 months before your 17th birthday.
Remember though, learning to drive should also be enjoyable and it has been known that during lessons we may even have a laugh or two!
The Tests
To gain your FULL licence you must pass two tests, a Theory Test and a Practical Driving Test.
THE THEORY TEST is in two parts:
- Part 1: 50 multiple choice questions, pass mark 43/50, 57 minutes time limit.
- Part 2: Hazard Perception Test, A computer based series of video clips which simulate real life driving situations. Your job is to identify potential hazards, each of the 14 clips carries a score which depends on how quickly you spot the hazard. Pass mark for this one is 44/75.
THE PRACTICAL TEST, approximately 35-40 minutes in which you must demonstrate your ability to drive safely in a variety of traffic conditions.
How long does it take to learn?
A very good question!
The answer is IT DEPENDS on your ability, number of lessons taken and amount of private practice taken.
The 'average' person requires about 40 hours of professional tuition to reach test standard, however like many other instructors, I have taught people who have not needed quite as much as that and some who required a little bit more.
You will be able to monitor you progress throughout your course with your Driver's Record, which I will complete after each session so you can see exactly how you are doing.
You will also receive 'handouts' after each session to summarize the topic covered.

Testimonials
"Jiffy was the second driving school that I had learnt with and I have to say that Paul's
methods of instruction, explanation and encouragement far excel the other instructors I had
driven with, giving me the confidence to overcome the nerves from failing the test previously,
and enabling me to pass first time under Paul's instruction."
- Louise J.
"I had a previouis instructor, and felt that i wasn't acheiving much, so a friend gave me Jiffy's number. On my first lesson, i felt i had achieved so much, and every lesson from then on, had me smiling at the end of it.
Paul made me feel at ease, and his explanations were clear.
I was scared of going on the park way due to a accident a year before, but Paul took it steady and slowly gave me the confidence to go on the park way and increase my speed.
Without Paul's help, and the way he helped me become confident, i don't think i would have passed first time.
I would recommend Jiffy to anyone, as he is very patient, kind and very professional."
- Kirsty W.
"Jiffy Driving School is top-notch!! Paul is a very patient, understanding person, and always very professional. He had also created such a relaxed atmosphere from the get-go. I'm an American, and an experienced driver for over 20 years however I have been driving on the right side of the road (or the WRONG side if you must) and only in an Automatic vehicle, and I had a few bad habits to break and a lot of new things to learn here. So I was given Paul's number to help me change-over from my US license to a FULL UK license. Believe me, Paul was so patient with me having to help me break my bad habits, he had also helped me gain the confidence to drive a manual gearshift vehicle, and to understand these roundabouts here, and the constant speed limit changes. I have no hesitation recommending Jiffy Driving School to anyone young or old."
- Tracy L.
"Jiffy was the second driving school I went with after getting to stage with my first one where I thought I was no loner progressing. I had a time scale where I had to pass my test due to the nature of my work. I had no confidence when it came to driving and thought I would never be in a situation where I would pass. When my test approached I thought I was never going to do it, but Paul kept motivating me and I passed first time. Paul was very patient, understanding and made things alot more simple for me to get my head around. He is very honest and has every individuals best interests at heart. He is very hardworking and puts alot of time and effort into his teaching providing extra materials to give you that extra helping hand. Paul is by far an A* driving instructor that I would recommend to anyone whatever your age, abilities,or needs. He will go that extra mile in order for you to achieve you goals and won't make you take unnecessary lessons in the process. Many thanks."
