Advantages: greater opportunity to passing first time
Disadvantages: none

...After shopping around for a comprehensive, easy to use driving test software package, I came across the 3-in-1 Driving Test, and found that it has all the budding learner driver needs to get them on the road. This PC CD-ROM comes with three Cd's, the first being the Theory Test. This is the official DSA Theory test question bank for both cars and motorcycles, and gives you an exact idea of what to expect on your Theory test day, and with over 1,200 questions and answers along with voice over, it is an ideal way to get the practice in. There are six meticulously structured Mock Theory tests that are based on the most commonly asked questions, and an appearance which is structured as you would see it in the test. Then there is the Hazard Perception part, which compared with many previous software packages makes its mark, and is far more... Read review

Advantages: Freedom! The end of all those lessons, where to go now..!?
Disadvantages: Very expensive, nerve wracking, and frustrating!

...Passing your test! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ When I first started taking my driving lessons I actually thought very little about the actual test itself and just carried on as normal. I sort of knew I was good enough to pass and had a feeling I’d pass first time… Yep, this feeling was wrong, but there you go. First things first, to start learning to drive you first need to get a provisional license, which now comes in the form of a little green card with ‘DVLA’ stamped all over it in clear writing. The theory test ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ The theory test is something you should try to get out of the way as soon as you possibly can, in my opinion, so you can focus on your actual practical driving skills. A lot of the theory will make more sense once you have a bit more sense of the roads, for example roundabouts and junctions, so starting... Read review

...and my ADI drove me home. From the second lesson onwards I had two hour lessons, which I would recommend because often you are a bit tense and rusty at first and you need some time to relax. My ADI drove me to the same estate for the second lesson, and from there I drove home at the end and all the time for every lesson thereafter. I had two x two hour lessons a week, which was good because I did not forget things so easily between lessons, and I wanted to go for my test quite quickly. At first I found the steering tricky, and so we spent most of the first 10 or so lessons just driving around quiet roads doing left and right hand turns, so I could get used to the coordination of gears, steering, hands and feet! My advice would be to ask your instructor to allow you plenty of time to get the basics in hand before you start... Read review

...First of all, as everyone who wants to learn to drive will know it can be a very stressful time. I started to learn about six months ago, to begin with I started shopping around for quotes on lessons and was surprised to see how expensive they were £25.00 a lesson, but this didnt put me off, nor should it put you you just need to think to your self is it all going to be wroth it in the end? Every person is different and each individual takes different times to acomplish things, so dont be put off if one of your friend's or collegue's pass way before youve e
