Record your private driving practice

Details

Use this form to record any private driving practice you do with family or friends.

It includes practising driving:

  • in the dark
  • on different types of road, like country roads or dual carriageways
  • in different weather conditions

You also need to practice how to plan and navigate a route.

This supports the progress you make during your driving lessons.

Check the rules about who you can practise with.

You must not drive on a motorway when you’re being supervised by someone who is not a fully-qualified approved driving instructor.

For advice about accompanying a learner driver, buy the Official DVSA Guide to Learning to Drive book.
