Since its first publication, "How to Pass Your Driving Test" has helped thousands of learner drivers to pass the driving test. This third edition of the book has been updated to include all the latest changes to the driving test and has also been restyled to make it easier to read. It still contains all the information a new drifter needs to know when first starting to learn to drive and features the actual words used by examiners during the test. Studied in conjunction with the Highway Code and "Driving Test Questions and Answers" by the same authors, this book aims to help to ensure that pupils are properly prepared when they commence driving and have no difficulty inpassing the driving test at the first attempt. Those who have failed the test should find it useful in identifying and correcting their faults. The authors, Jenny and Peter Robbins have over 40 years' driving experience and run two driving schools in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire. Both are D.S.A. Approved Driving Instructors and members of the Institute of Advanced Motorists. They also hold the Diploma of Driving Instruction which only a small percentage of driving instructors possess.
Peter Robbins is also a Diamond Advanced Instructor.
