Having started learning to drive abroad, England seemed impossible to me, but with the calm, friendly teaching under air, I passed on my first go!

My lessons with air have been fantastic. My instructor was polite and very calm, not rushing me and taking the time to listen to my questions! I passed first time with air, and I can say it was a great learning experience.

Getting Started
You need to be 17 to start learning to drive and have a valid provisional licence before you take your first driving lessons. Complete a D1 form from the post office and send it to the DVLA (DVLNI in Northern Ireland) with your passport or birth certificate, and a passport-sized photo. You can also apply online.
Apply for a provisional licence up to three months before your 17th birthday, and you could book your first driving lesson for the big day!
Key Areas
Your instructor will estimate how long you are likely to need after your first lesson. The current average is 45 hours of tuition (Driving Standards Agency average, 2006), with 22 hours of private practice. Two-hour lessons and our tips for practising driving can help you learn faster.

Pass Plus
Statistics show that new drivers are:
1. 10 times more likely to be involved in an accident according to Pass Plus (2010)
2. 2 drivers under the age of 25 die in the UK according to BRAKE-Young drivers: The hard facts.
3. Increase chance of accident occurring to under 25 year olds.
What is Pass Plus?
Pass Plus is a scheme designed by the Driving Standards Agency, with the help of the motor insurance and driving instruction industries.
The scheme helps new drivers gain valuable experience to help develop existing skills, learn new skills and techniques, improve anticipation and awareness, learn how to reduce the risk of accidents and maintain a courteous and considerate attitude on the road.
Pass Plus course overview
Pass Plus pupils display green 'P plates' on their vehicle, and have a series of six modules of at least one hour each. These cover:
• introduction and town driving
• all-weather driving
• out of town driving and rural roads
• night driving
• dual carriageways
• motorway driving
While you will have covered these topics during your driving lessons the Pass Plus course emphasises a positive approach to driving. The focus is on attitude and skills and gives a different perspective on these topics and will enhance your abilities.
Pass Plus results
As an indication of the effectiveness of the scheme, recent survey carried out for the Driving Standards Agency showed that 93% of people who had taken Pass Plus felt more confident on the road, and 80% considered that their driving skills had improved as a result of taking the course.
