Learning to Drive Report

The theory test is a two part test, which you need to pass before you can book the practical driving test. You need to go to a test centre to do this - in Bristol, this is located at Third Floor North Building, Crescent House, Temple Back, Bristol, BS1 6EZ. The first part of the theory is a computerised multiple-choice test of 50 questions and you need to pass at least 43 of the questions correctly.

Testimonials Report

I needed to pass my test in time for my wedding. Without Rick I don't think it would have been possible. I passed first time thanks to his fantastic tuition. Lessons are well planned and structured and adapted to fit in with your strengths and weaknesses. Rick himself always remains calm and patient.

Great instructor... felt comfortable straight away, with no prior lessons or experience of driving on the road. Really clear communication and felt like I was learning best practice as opposed to rushing to test. Passed first time and glad I took Rick's advice on test date as now feel confident and ready for the road :)

Ricks statistics say enough about how good he is, but beyond that learning with Rick was a positive experience. Rick isn't just trying to help you pass, he's making you a confident and safe driver.
Rick's waiting list may be long, but it's worth it ✌️

Rick was a fantastic driving instructor and gave me confidence on the road. He took me from someone with no ability to a confident driver , passing my test first time. He made me feel at ease throughout my lessons, I would highly recommend him.
