Step 1: Pass your theory test for your c1 driving licence
In order to get your full, unrestricted c1 driving licence you need to pass a multiple-choice theory test. This is made up of 25 questions, out of which you have to get 20 right in order to pass. You can take it as many times as you like and before your 17th birthday, but if you fail three times after that then it will be necessary for you take an extended version called a hazard perception test. Once you’ve passed that, however, there are no further barriers and no expiry date on your licence. The question format is pretty straightforward: fill in one or more answers from a range of four options. There are also a few show two answers questions where you have to pick two correct responses from six possibilities. There’s usually at least one show all four answers question, so look out for those! There is also a short break midway through when they give you some general advice about what to do next. If you don’t pass first time round, try again – statistics show that passing rate increases with each attempt (although only slightly). You may want to study beforehand by buying books and taking practice tests – although note that these tests don’t contain exactly the same material as what’s on the real thing.
Step 2: Book your practical test at a DSA centre
Once you’ve completed your 35 hours of practice, it’s time to book your test. This is done by calling up one of hundreds of DSA-affiliated centres (you can find them all here) and booking an appointment at a location that suits you. Bear in mind that driving tests are incredibly popular—in some parts of Britain, they have a two-month waiting list! So don’t be disheartened if there aren’t any vacancies immediately; keep checking back. You may also want to consider taking a course with an instructor who offers exam passes as part of their package. A lot of these courses will also help you with your practical test preparation. For example, The Official DVSA Theory Test for Car Drivers has a pass guarantee that includes six mock tests and full preparation for both parts of your practical test. It costs £19.99 on Amazon or £27 from The Official DVSA Website .
Step 3: Pass your practical test for c1 driving licence
The DSA’s theory test is multiple choice and costs £31.50 to take. It’s not too difficult if you can pass a driving theory test so should be pretty straightforward. The practical test, on the other hand, is a little trickier because it involves maneuvering your car while avoiding hazards like pedestrians and traffic cones. Here are some tips for passing your test It’s best to book your test at least two weeks before you want to take it. This gives you time to prepare, get all of your documents together and practice driving around town with someone who has a full licence. If possible, make sure that person has experience teaching people how to drive as they will know what mistakes people often make when learning how to drive. They will also know what makes a good instructor – don’t just go with whoever offers their services cheapest! You can find out more about booking your test here . You need to bring: * Your provisional licence * Proof of identification (passport or birth certificate) * Proof of address (utility bill or bank statement) * A valid passport-sized photo * Evidence that you have passed a vehicle safety check (if applicable) You must arrive at least 30 minutes before your appointment, but no more than 15 minutes early. When you arrive, there will be an examiner waiting for you. As well as checking your identity, they’ll look over any evidence you have brought with you and check your eyesight using an eye chart. You’ll then need to sign a declaration confirming that everything presented is correct and complete.
