Tds Description
Getting Started
The essentials
The guide is all you need to know to start learning.
Under 17
Three months before your 17th birthday you can apply for your provisional licence – or as soon as you're 16, if you're disabled and receiving mobility allowance. Then once you're 17, you can legally drive a car on public roads in the UK. It's okay to start practising on private land, as long as the site is gated and far away from public highways. But remember, supermarket car parks are classed as public roads, so don't use these.
Check your eyes
Before you start learning, make sure you can read a number plate in good daylight from 20. 5 metres away – that's about five car lengths. For the new-style number plates (that were introduced on September 2001), the distance is 20 metres. If you wear glasses or contacts, that's fine. Just make sure you always wear them when driving.
Get your 'L' plates
When you're learning, you'll need to put 'L' plates (or 'D' plates in Wales) on the front and back of your car – somewhere they can be seen easily. And you're only allowed to drive with someone who's passed their test, is over 21 and has been driving for three years or more.
Your 'L' plates also have to meet legal specification - so buy them rather trying to knock some up yourself. Whenever the car is driven by someone who’s passed, the plates need to come off or be covered up.

Our Lessons - Your TDS. . . driving lessons your way.
Everyone learns in different ways, that’s why we work out a tailored, personalised lesson plan that’s designed to give you the very best chance of passing your test and will help turn you into a safe and confident driver.
So how does it work? Well, for a start, we'll want to find our about your driving experience so we know how many lessons you might need in total. Then we'll work out how many sessions we can fit into a week. We usually recommend at least a two-hour lesson each week, because most people find this works best. But it's your call and we'll fit around your life as best we can. Your instructor will provide you with your very own TDS track record”; this is essentially a logbook that we use to monitor and show your progression as your driving skills develop. Its also a great way to keep Mum and Dad informed!
Your theory test
What is a Theory test?
Being a good driver is about more than handling a car. You also need to know what road-signs mean, what makes for good road etiquette and how to anticipate dangers before they happen. This is why the Theory Test is designed to help you 'read the road'.
It's a sad but true fact that one in five new drivers have an accident in their first year. But research shows just three hours of 'hazard perception training' can really reduce the accident rate of new drivers.
The test is made up of two parts - a multiple-choice section and a hazard perception section. You'll need to pass both bits before you can book a driving test.
Your practical test
Once you've passed your theory test, your instructor will tell you how ready you are for your practical test. Naturally, we want you to pass first time. So here are a few ways we can give you that extra edge. Your "Track Record" log book keeps tabs on your progress – showing you where your strengths are and what skills you'll need to brush up on.
How to pass
For a bit of extra help, TDS Pass Your Driving Test is a really useful step-by-step guide to the practical test. It covers all the topics and exercises that you'll be tested on, along with tips from expert instructors and test examiners.
Make the most of your practice.
We recommend plenty of practice between lessons. Ask your instructor which manoeuvres you should run through; and remember, if you're practising with friends or family; make sure you're covered on their car insurance policy.
Take a mock practical test
A TDS mock test shares exactly the same format as the real thing – think of it as a trial run.
Top 10 things to look out for
The DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) regularly publish the top 10 reasons why learners fail their practical test. To maximise your chances of passing first time, here are some of the big things to look out for:
Look carefully to judge when best to come out of side roads
Use the controls correctly and demonstrate good observation when reverse parking
Use the mirrors effectively long before you change direction or slow down
Use the controls correctly and demonstrate good observation when reversing round a corner
Use signals correctly, including how to cancel them and not give misleading ones
Move away correctly from stationary positions, including good observation
Use the correct road position, particularly on bends, and show good lane discipline on roundabouts
Have good steering control, when making left or right turns for example
Get in the correct position when turning right
Don't hesitate or cause delay. Always pull out promptly at junctions.

Do not block access to a side road Slow-moving traffic Rule 151
In slow-moving traffic. You should:
... reduce the distance between you and the vehicle ahead to maintain traffic flow never get so close to the vehicle in front that you cannot stop safely leave enough space to be able to manoeuvre if the vehicle in front breaks down or an emergency vehicle needs to get past not change lanes to the left to overtake allow access into and from side roads, as blocking these will add to congestion be aware of cyclists and motorcyclists who may be passing on either side

Traffic in snowy weather Driving in icy and snowy weather Rule 231
Drive extremely carefully when the roads are icy. Avoid sudden actions as these could cause loss of control.
... You should:
drive at a slow speed in as high a gear as possible; accelerate and brake very gently drive particularly slowly on bends where loss of control is more likely. Brake progressively on the straight before you reach a bend. Having slowed down, steer smoothly round the bend, avoiding sudden actions check your grip on the road surface when there is snow or ice by choosing a safe place to brake gently. If the steering feels unresponsive this may indicate ice and your vehicle losing its grip on the road. When travelling on ice, tyres make virtually no noise. Read all the rules about driving in icy or snowy weather.

DVSA logo Traffic sign to motorway Learner drivers on motorways from 4 June 2018 From Monday 4 June 2018, learner drivers will be able to take driving lessons on motorways in England, Scotland and Wales.
... This will help to make sure more drivers know how to use motorways safely.
How the change will work
Learner drivers will need to be:
accompanied by an approved driving instructor driving a car fitted with dual controls Any motorways lessons will be voluntary
It will be up to the driving instructor to decide when the learner driver is competent enough for them.
Until the law changes, it’s still illegal for a learner driver to drive on a motorway.
Find out how the rules will work in the Highway Code

Box junctions Rule 174 Box junctions. These have criss-cross yellow lines painted on the road (see ‘Road markings’). You MUST NOT enter the box until your exit road or lane is clear. However, you may enter the box and wait when you want to turn right, and are only stopped from doing so by oncoming traffic, or by other vehicles waiting to turn right. At signalled roundabouts you MUST NOT enter the box unless you can cross over it completely without stopping.
