From the age of 16 you can have a provisional licence and can learn on a motorcycle. In order to learn in a car, at present you need to have reached 17.

Below, I list some of the items from the driving syllabus.

Syllabus element:- Moving Off - When moving off from the side of a road it is important to Prepare the car, Observe all around you, Move off if it is safe to do so once you have checked your blind spot.

Syllabus Element:- Controls and Instruments - To be in control of your car or vehicle you need to be familiar with the controls and instruments. Indicators, light switches, wipers etc. are all controls you need to know how to use together with such items as fog lights, rear window heater etc. Good drivers are those that know all about their vehicle.

Syllabus Element:- Cockpit Drill - When learning to drive it is most important that you know how to set up the car in order that you are seated comfortably and can reach and see all of the controls.

Syllabus element:- Meeting Other Traffic - If there is an obstruction on your side of the road or not enough room for two vehicles to pass safely, be prepared to wait and let approaching vehicle through. When you turn right across the path of an approaching vehicle, make sure you can do so safely. Be careful not to cause other road users to slow down, stop or swerve to avoid you.

Syllabus Element:- Moving Off On A Hill - Similar to moving off from the side of a road with the addition of sufficient power to prevent the vehicle rolling back when the handbrake is released. So the procedure would be to Prepare the car by ensuring correct gear selected and power applied, Observe all around you including blind spot, finally, release hand brake and Move off.

Syllabus Element:- Stopping - Any change of speed or direction requires that you observe the MSM routine. M stands for Mirror or mirrors, S stands for signal if required, the second M stands for the Manouevre you are to carry out. So if for example you are required to pull over you should check your interior and left mirrors, signal left, move to the left side of the road and brake to a smooth halt.

2Pass.eu Driving School combines driving instructors from around the country, many of whom have several years of experience.

Dundee will have one or more 2Pass.eu Driving Instructors starting from 1st January 2009.

A good driver needs to possess many things which can be broken down into a few categories. Knowledge of Theory, an understanding of the Driving Skills you need to acquire, and appreciation of the Driving Syllabus and ability to carry out all that these require. Included in this article are random extracts from the Theory Test, Show Me Tell Me questions, Driving Syllabus and Driving Skills.

Driving Skill:- Can you drive with reasonable restraint without being hesitant? Is your judgement of speed and distance accurate? These are skills a good driver possesses.

Show Me Tell Me Question:- Show me how you would check the parking brake for excessive wear. Answer - Apply the parking brake. When it is fully applied it should secure itself.
