About the Driving Test
You will need to take both parts of your driving licence and your theory certificate.
Eyesight Test
At the start of your test the examiner will ask you to perform an eyesight test from a 20 metre distance.
Show Me, Tell Me Questions
You will be expected to answer two vehicle safety questions, e.g. ‘can you show me how your horn works’, If you don’t answer correctly for one or both questions you will receive one driving fault.
Driving Ability Test
The test will last for around 40 minutes, in which time you must show the examiner that you can demonstrate a safe drive.
During your test your examiner will direct you around the test route. One in three tests will be asked to perform the emergency stop exercise.
Manoeuvres
You will be asked to perform one reversing exercise from the following list:
- Reverse park or parallel park
- Independent drive
You will be asked to demonstrate a 10 minute drive following a series of directions testing your ability to make decisions while driving safely.
End of test
- At the end of your test the examiner will tell you if you have passed or failed and will always give you feedback on your drive.
- You can make up to 15 driving faults and still pass your test but you cannot commit any serious or dangerous faults.
- Your Skillz2Drive driving instructor will make sure you are fully prepared for every aspect of your driving test.

Julie was a very helpful instructor and helped me be able to pass first time after only half the average professional lessons! Really happy with my experience and how comfortable she made me feel behind the wheel.

Simon, who taught me, was really good, taught me everything I needed to know and helped me iron out some of the weaknesses I had. In the weird quirk of driving tuition I'm please to say I won't be coming back now (because I've passed), although I will miss our Monday morning lessons, not so much the early starts though.

I passed my test today and I'm really grateful for having Annabelle as my instructor. She is very calm, kind and great for drivers who are more nervous such as myself.
Thanks again Annabelle for all your patience and hard work. It was a privilege to have you as an instructor, you're the best!

Was given vouchers for 3 hours of driving for Christmas pre covid. Having only just been able to build up the courage to book as very anxious and nervous I was made to feel like an inconvenience for having vouchers. I felt very uncomfortable so proceeded by using email to carry on with the booking.On the voucher it was for automatic, but Mark told me he didn't do automatic and didn't offer to book me in with someone else. On the day of the driving lesson I waited half an hour and then rung him. He then was very rude to me saying he had gone to number 2 as that was what he was told. referring back to my email it quite clearly has the correct address on it. This company have stolen my money as he said I'd missed it the lesson and didn't offer any kind of reimbursement. It's been a thoroughly bad experience and not done my confidence any good!

I’am not the most confident person when it comes to driving and sometimes my nerves did get the better of me but Hassan was very reassuring and patient which helped me massively.
Thank you Hassan and skillz2drive. 😊

I would highly recommend Hassan thanks to whom I passed my driving exam today first time. I couldn’t have been happier with the result! Hassan built my confidence, guided me though all the stages of the learning process, we practiced each stage until he was happy with my driving and I felt confident enough.
He was always very supportive and positive, even at times when I was losing faith in my ability to drive. His feedback was always honest and motivational. Learning to drive is a different experience for an each individual person, it was a hard skill to learn for me, personally and Hassan’s patience and experience has been invaluable.
I had 2 different driving instructors previously (London - based as that’s where I lived before the pandemic) and I can honestly say Hassan is absolutely the best! Very professional in everything he does. Thank you so much Hassan, I’ll be forever grateful.

I passed my driving test first time with Julie from Skillz2Drive. Julie made learning how to drive as easy as it can be, Julie is so patient and understanding, even when you make mistakes or are unsure of things. I would highly recommend Julie if your looking for a driving instructor. With recent circumstances around COVID-19 Julie always made sure that you was safe and that the car is cleaned between every student. Couldn’t recommend her enough!! Thank you Julie for believing that I could pass first time, and I’m so happy you was right 😊

I recommend Hassan of Skillz2Drive. I was already an experienced driver but i needed to become a UK driver.
Over a period of seven (Covid-interrupted) months, Hassan guided me through the rules and tricks of driving. Clearance, managing speed, roundabouts, maneuvers etc. Lessons were fitted into my busy schedule and i practically covered every road in Hastings, Ore and St Leonard's. Hassan pointed out the tricky places and carefully described how i could surmount them.
All of this culminated in me passing my practical test at the first attempt, with only three minor faults. Hastings has a 42% first time pass rate but with Hassan and Skills2Drive; you too can pass at once.

2020-09-18T13:36:52+0000
Passed my auto test today with Hassan and I could not recommend him anymore! He literally has the patience of a saint, always calm and never cross! Great style of teaching, super accommodating with fitting lessons in for me. I've always been quite nervous driving, and Hassan has helped me come on so much! 100% recommend him to anyone, but especially if you are nervous.
THANKYOU HASSAN!!!!

Passed my driving test first time with John getting only 4 minor driving faults. Nothing but a professional service I never had lesions rearranged or cancelled on me. I was treated professionally at all times and made comfortable even when making mistakes.
I personally couldn’t have asked for a better instructor and if I’m honest I’m slightly gutted that I’ve passed as the service I received really was top notch.
I would recommend Skillz2Drive and John to everyone I know because I believe if you want to pass quickly and be taught at a high standard then you should defiantly choose these guys.

I have just passed my driving test with Skillz2Drive! Having done driving lessons with Jon for the past couple of months has allowed me to slowly gain confidence on the road and become a far more cautious and careful driver. He has taken me through every manoeuvre carefully and has always been patient with my driving. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor! 😁
Colin Starr
2020-03-13T22:52:28+0000

Feel very let down after an expensive 40 hr intensive corse that cost nearly 1200 pound and took 5 months ....in messaging mark was told that it was my son fault because he didn’t do he’s theory in time although he passed it within two weeks .....lesson where cut short on several occasions and mark also turned up and without knocking drove off ....so no I would NOT recommend a very disappointed customer

My son passed with Julie. What a fantastic teacher, she was very supportive, down to earth and realistic with expectations. Tyler came to skillz2Drive with previous experience from another instructor with another company. This instructor had said Tyler was ready for his test. Julie took him for an assessment lesson and it was clear that he needed a little more work before then. Julie was amazing, moving appointments around to accommodate us. His enthusiasm and motivation to pass was due to the continued support and encouragement Jules gave him. Thank you so much! Very highly recommended

I’m so happy with the result of my practical exam. I just passed my driving test first time. I cannot express my gratitude enough for the patience, guidance and help that he provided.
Will has been brilliant instructor, he will teach you detail to detail so you understand further. Really enjoyed my lessons and I learned a lot that I can apply in the future.
Thanks Will for everything I can’t do this success without you. Highly recommended

I've been doing lessons with Garry since Feb, I had to take time out after I had my baby and he kept in touch to see when i wanted to start again, he's my third instructor and just as I started running out of hope in getting a decent instructor, he restored my faith. he made me feel at ease and boosted my confident. he teaches you and you can also have a laugh with him. highly recommend

Today I passed my test after a 15 hour intensive course and lots of practice in my own car in between tests. I learnt with Mark Wilkins, who has been an absolute pleasure to have met. Being slightly older I was embarrassed and very nervous. Mark put that at ease within the first few lessons. I believe he only has the best interests of each student, encouraging and suggesting ways of support and progression. Thank you will never seem enough. Can’t not recommend highly enough. Thanks Mark!

Passed my test with Mark Wilkins. When I first started my lessons I literally had no confidence at all, I was such a nervous learner. Mark really brought me out of my shell, and I never felt any pressure at all. I honestly do not believe I would have passed my test with anyone other than Mark. He's so patient, and really encouraging! Thank you so much Skillz2drive!! �

I passed first time today with skillz2drive. I had Mark Wilkins as my teacher, and he was fantastic! I couldn't have asked for a better person to teach me how to drive... He made me feel so relaxed and comfortable from day 1 and was always encouraging me. Thank You again for being so helpful and inspiring, I really do appreciate it. Now I'm finally on the road after just 15 hours of 'intense driving course' lessons, and I couldn't feel more free.
If anyone want a driving instructor that is easy going, keeps you calm, encourages you, makes you feel at ease and just in general a really nice guy, then Mark is the person for you!
