​Some people complete their theory test before starting driving lessons. However, most learners study for the theory test alongside practical lessons, as road signs and rules are naturally learned while driving.

Bradford (Heaton)           2.5 miles   10–15 mins

Bradford (Thornbury)      3 miles      10–12 mins

Horsforth (Leeds)           8.5 miles    20–30 mins

All distances and travel times are approximate

Typical lesson totals (DVSA average):

  • ~45 hours of professional driving lessons with an approved instructor

  • ~22 hours of private practice (with a qualified supervising driver)
    So in total that’s around 67 hours of driving experience before passing the practical test.

These figures are averages — some learners may pass with far fewer hours (e.g., 20–30 hours) and others may require more (50–60+), depending on experience, confidence, practice, and frequency of lessons.
