Before you start your driving lessons
Before starting driving lessons you will need:
Adequate vision - You must be able to read a car number plate at a distance of 20 metres. If you are not able to do this you may need prescription spectacles before you can drive
You may also start by learning theory and hazard perception, in order that you can take your Theory test as soon as you reach your 17th birthday. At Alpha 1 Orpington Driving School we can help you do this
Even before your 17th birthday, you could start a first driving lesson regarding safety and controls, steering etc in a private car park..
