How many driving lessons do I need to pass in Portsmouth?

According to DVSA statistics, UK learners require an average of 45 hours of professional tuition from an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) alongside 22 hours of private practice. Taking an intensive driving crash course in Portsmouth can condense this timeframe into 1 to 2 weeks.

Should I learn in a manual or automatic car in Portsmouth?

If you pass in an automatic car in Portsmouth, your UK driving licence will restrict you to automatic vehicles only. Passing in a manual car grants a full licence covering both manual and automatic cars. However, automatic lessons are increasingly popular in Portsmouth due to heavy city traffic and simpler hill-start controls.
