PDT: Easily the most affordable way to learn to drive.
Established in 1990 the first to bring you "pay one lump sum" block bookings.

Although you have to pass your theory test before you can take your
practical test, it's recommended that you start studying for your
theory test, but don't actually take it until you have some
practical experience of driving

To prepare for the multiple choice part of the theory test, it's
strongly recommend that you study the books from which the questions are
sourced as well as the questions themselves. These books are:

The Highway Code – this is essential reading for all drivers.
Even if you studied it when you took your car test, it's worth
getting an up-to-date copy to ensure that you have the most recent
advice on road safety and the laws which apply to all road users.
The Official TheoryTest for Car Drivers and The Official Theory
Test for Motorcyclists - contain all the questions in the multiple
choice part of the theory test, together with the answers and explanations.

Know Your Traffic Signs – this contains most of the signs and road markings
that you are likely to come across.

Driving – the essential skills – this is the official reference, giving practical
advice and best driving practice for all drivers.

At the driving test centre

You must bring the following items with you to your driving test. If you do not, they may refuse to carry out the test and you may lose your fee.

* the appropriate theory test pass certificate (or confirmation) if you are not exempt

* your appointment letter

* both parts of your photo card licence. If you do not take both parts of your licence your test will not take place and you will lose your fee. If you misplace your licence, you must apply for a replacement from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), which could take up to 15 days. If this happens, you may have to rearrange your test

* if you have an old style paper licence, from 1 November 2005 you must bring your paper licence and a valid passport
