Driving Lesson for an 'already' experienced driver

worcester1

My wife has lived in many countries (Europe, America, Asia etc) over the last 15 years due to work and has driven in these countries using an international driving license.

Since she joined me here almost a year ago, she has been drivining using her international driving permit which is due to expire next month. This means that she will need to get a Uk driving license in order to drive legally in this country.

She took the Theory test earlier this week and passed, now wants to do a few lessons (maybe 5 lessons) with a qualified instructor before she books her test.

Do you think 5 lessons is enough? Also can you recommend any driving school around the Lichfield/staffordshire area.

I reckon she knows all there is to know to pass the practical test.

Thanks Guys/Ladies

I already answered on your other identical thread.

I don't know what the other thread said, (and can't find it on a quick search)but if your wife is driving on just an international licence, she is and has been (everywhere) driving illegally. She needs a valid national licence from somewhere - anywhere really. The international one is just a translation of it into English (and numerous other languages) - it isn't in itself a licence.

(Selling fake 'international licences' (or even real, but invalid ones) on the web is a fairly common scam)

On the other question it's difficult to know how many lessons. She may have to unlearn ingrained habits in order to meet the very specific requirements of the test, and that can take a while. A driving school will be able to assess her in about one lesson and give a better idea.
