On completion of a successful mock test, your driving instructor will book a driving test with you. It is essential that your test is booked by your instructor so that the vehicle, instructor and you are all available on the same date.

  • Q. Can I take a Pass Plus course with you?

    A. Yes, Weekend Wheels is proud to say that we offer the Pass Plus course to students to further develop their driving experience after passing their practical test. The course includes all-weather driving, night-time driving, motorway experience and more. Having a Pass Plus certificate can significantly reduce your car insurance (subject to the participating insurer). Ask your instructor for more information. Along with the Pass Plus course, we offer advanced driver training and more (see our courses information).
