I AM NOW RETIRED AND NOT TAKING ANY PUPILS

Study Materials

In the old days we used to learn driving theory from books and the official Highway Code but not any more. Now it is all apps on your mobile phone or DVDs and computer based learning but you still can get the theory from books.

The Highway Code is still the best theory source

Those of you who are not PC computer buffs are at a disadvantage. You will need access to a PC computer to install your DVD to practice your hazard perception but as second best an app in your phone might do it. NOTE: An Apple computer may not be able to operate the DVD. Can a friend or family member help by loaning a Windows based PC?

Which books, DVD's etc?

There is an infinite range of learning materials available (everybody wants your money) and the DVSA leads the way. Have a look at their web site
