You couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do without your smartphone, could you? Then you shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be without a car. Book Theory Test Today gives you seven good reasons for learning to drive. \u00c2\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Passing your theory test<\/a><\/strong> and practical driving exam opens up a whole new world to you, and while many are put off by the cost of motoring, having a licence can be extremely beneficial.<\/span><\/p>\n

Disagree? Even those that have failed a theory test and practical exam hundreds of times still want to learn to drive and see the value of being able to, even if it has cost thousands already.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Driving is a lifelong skill<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Learn to drive and you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve acquired a skill that is for life. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like riding a bike, once you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve done it, you never forget. Granted driving a car is a little more complex, but once you have a licence it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s yours, you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to do another theory test or practical exam again.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Even if it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s years before you can afford a car, your driving licence will still be valid 3, 4 and even 10 years on [then you have to renew it].<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Learn to drive and earn your freedom<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Learn to drive and be free of public transport, there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s nothing better. Cars can take you from door-to-door, which is great when doing long journeys. Catch a bus or train, and walking or a taxi is usually involved somewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

      With a car, you have the freedom to travel wherever you want, whenever you want without having to rely on a timetable and without having to share your mode of transport with sweaty people, ugh.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Even if you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t own a car, a driving licence will permit you to hire a vehicle for occasional road trips if this is more practical and economical for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Employment <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Many job roles request that you have a driving licence. There aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t many job application forms now that are without the question \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcDo you have a driving licence?\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/span><\/p>\n

        Having one will give you a better chance of landing a job. Even if your current job doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t require you to have a licence, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s still worth pursuing one as you may want to switch jobs in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \n

          Mobility<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Live in a rural area, miles away from a train station and with a bus route that sees one bus every 90 minutes?<\/span><\/p>\n

          Learn to drive and all these problems evaporate. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s nothing more inconvenient than living in the middle of nowhere and having to take all day to get somewhere. Without a car, going shopping, getting to work or going to visit friends or family is more of a hassle.<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \n

            Identification<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Going out clubbing? A driving licence is a great, pocket-sized form of ID. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s certainly more portable than a passport, which not everyone has. Granted, you shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t learn to drive for the sake of having ID, but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s useful on a night out.<\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. \n

              It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a one-off<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Pass your theory test and practical test<\/a><\/strong> and you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re done, you never have to learn to drive again. Learn when you have the time and the funds and once it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s done, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s out of the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

                \n
              1. \n

                Flexibility <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Having a licence doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mean you have to own a car, but having a licence will prove useful in other scenarios. For example, if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re on holiday you may want to hire a car for which a licence will be a requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n
