Dressed and ready

When you come to your first lesson, make sure youre wearing comfy clothes and practical shoes - trainers are ideal. No high heels or flip-flops!

You need to be aware and alert, so dont have a big night out the day before your lesson. Ensure that you are under the legal limit for alcohol too. Remember you could still be over the limit the day after. Let your ADI know if youre not well or are taking medication, because some medicines can make you drowsy, making it unsafe for you to drive.

Eye Tests

eye-chart-22Before you start driving, its quite important to make sure that you can see clearly.

The DVLA test for this is to ensure you can read a new-style number plates from 20 metres (around the length of 5 cars).

If you need to wear glasses or contacts to see this, thats fine, as long as you wear them at all times when driving.
