How many driving hours to book?
To determine how many hours to book, follow the guide below. This guide will help you increase your chances of passing your practical test on the first attempt. The guidelines below are based on past pupils’ performances, considering a pupil who learns co-ordination-based skills reasonably well and understands general rules of the road. Its not uncommon for some pupil to need significantly more.
For a Novice or Complete Beginner, consider the following:
- Register for around 45-67 hrs if you will use your driving instructor only.
- Register for around 30 hrs with your driving instructor and plan to do 20 – 40 hrs approx. practice with family/friends.
- Register for around 20 hrs with your driving instructor and plan to do 30-50 hrs approx. practice with family/friends.
- Register for around 10 hrs with your driving instructor and plan to do 40-60 hrs approx. practice with family/friends.

Parents
As a supervisor to a learner driver, your role is vital in helping them become a safe driver. To achieve this, approach it as a collaborative effort with the learner and their driving instructor. Total Drive app has a feature allowing parental access to ensure everyone is on the same page. The pupil will need to let the driving instructor know they would like to grant parental access. We will need your name and mobile number to set up access.
Home practice, using the information in the reflective log will help consolidate the basic skills quicker. As a result, learners can reduce the total hours required with their driving instructor. It’s easier to move forward and become a confident driver when the basic skills are secure.
