Practicing Outside of Lessons

While taking Professional driving lessons with an F1 instructor it’s important that you have as much practice as possible on the road so why not ask a friend or relative if they can take you for more.

The more practice you have on the road the better but please follow these rules:

• Only have practice with someone if you both feel confident enough to go on the road.
• Read the Highway Code and understand it before starting the practical side
• Learner drivers must hold a valid provisional licence
• You must have a valid insurance certificate before driving the vehicle
• You must be supervised by someone at least 21 years old who holds a full EC/EEA licence for that type of car
• Your vehicle must display red L plates
• The L plates must conform to legal specifications and must clearly be visible to others from in front and behind
• The L plates must be removed or covered when not being driven by a learner (except on driving school vehicles)
• You must pass the theory test and the practical driving test before driving unaccompanied
• Do not drive on the motorway, provisional licence holders are not permitted to go on these roads until they have passed there practical driving test.

• Please try and avoid schools during starting and finishing times.
• Do not attempt to go onto higher speed limit roads if you are not confident enough to reach that speed limit.
• Your F1 driving instructor has gone through thorough training to get you to be a safe driver so if someone takes you out other than an instructor try not to adopt there bad habits.
• Don’t have any passengers in the car apart from the one taking you out for extra tuition.
