What we focus on for your first driving lesson in Livingston

Bring: provisional licence, glasses if you wear them, comfortable shoes
Cockpit drill — mirrors, seat, controls
Moving off and stopping in a quiet street
Pickup from any address in EH54

Nobody expects you to drive on lesson one. The goal is to get the car moving, stop it again safely, and finish the hour feeling slightly excited rather than terrified.

If you don't have your provisional licence on the day, we legally can't take you out — DVSA rule. Order it on gov.uk at least 2 weeks before your first lesson.

Who this is for: New learners in Livingston about to start their first hour.

In short: Livingston pupils train on the actual Livingston DVSA Test Centre routes, with one instructor, in one car. The M8 corridor and the Almondvale streets are part of the plan, not an afterthought.

EH54 is the hub, but courses regularly run across to edinburgh, falkirk on the same instructor schedule.
