# Learn to drive guides

Driving Schools has 4 guides on driving schools, grouped by country.

## General

- [Common driving school mistakes and what to ask before you book](https://drivingschools.fyi/guides/common-driving-school-mistakes.md): Choosing a school by price alone, skipping the licence check and not asking about the test car are common mistakes. Ask every school the same questions in writing.
- [Driving lesson requirements in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia and Germany](https://drivingschools.fyi/guides/driving-lesson-requirements.md): Each region publishes its own lesson figure for learner drivers. Some are mandatory, some are averages. This guide lists the figures the lesson cost estimator on this site uses.
- [How to choose a driving school](https://drivingschools.fyi/guides/how-to-choose-a-driving-school.md): Ask every school the same five questions: licence status, price per lesson, package terms, vehicle and transmission, and who books the test. Then compare the written answers.
- [What a driving school listing shows](https://drivingschools.fyi/guides/how-to-read-a-driving-school-listing.md): A listing on this site shows the address, phone and website from open map data. A lesson price appears only when the school publishes one. You can filter by transmission, vehicle type and courses.

> **Check before you book.** drivingschools.fyi lists driving schools and the details they publish. A listing is not a recommendation. Addresses, phone numbers and prices come from the sources named on each listing and were last checked on the date shown there; lesson prices and courses change, so confirm them with the school before you book.
