We can all be guilty of not paying 100% of our attention on the road in front and around us. Whether it’s talking to passengers in the car, focusing on getting the kids in the back to calm down, or by getting too into the song on the radio. Despite these distractions, always make sure you have your attention where it needs to be. If these are becoming too difficult, why not try one of our refresher courses to help build your confidence back up.

It can take around 20 hours for the average learner drive to pass their driving test, and that’s without the driving lessons! As long as you are accompanied by anyone over the age of 21 who has held a driving license for at least 3 years, you can practice driving between lessons. Just make sure that you’re both insured to drive the vehicle you’re practising in! Only stick to what you have covered, but remember that it will come in time. Why not ask your instructor about what to practice?

We have an amazing simulator on our website which will test your skill of being able to read a clean number plate.The law states that driver’s must be able to read a clean number plate at 20.5 meters in good daylight. Most people are able to do this with ease but it’s a good idea to make sure you can.

Every effort has been made to make the Britannia Driving School Simulator as accurate as possible but it’s not a substitute for an Eye Test by a professional optician. If you have any issue or doubt about your eyesight, please get your sight tested and examined by an optician before continuing or learning to drive.

Instructions: Keep both eyes open. For 56cm width screen sit at 112cm. For 33.5cm wide screen sit 67cm. For a 30cms wide screen sit at 60cms. Pro rata for other sizes, (screen width measured). If you wear spectacles for driving, you should of course be wearing them for this test as well.
