Check out the DSA official book titled - Driving - the essential skills.
The DSA recommend that new drivers reach a level of driving proficiency with an ADI before they
practise with an accompanying driver.
The driving syllabus is contained in the DSA publication The Official Driving Test.

There is no substitute for learning car control skills and how to deal with different road situations
with a professional driving instructor before going out to practise privately.
Vital books are: The Highway Code is essential reading. It explains the rules of the road and gives
sound advice about best driving practices. The Official Theory Test for Car Drivers contains all the
questions in the theory test and explains the answers. Driving - The essential Skills, explains best
driving practices in greater detail. The Official Driving Test covers what is required during the driving
test and explains the full test syllabus. The Official Guide to Accompanying L-drivers gives very
useful information to anyone who is supervising you while you practice and a log-book.
Vital software: The Driving Test Success family of software published by Focus Multimedia Ltd.
This includes the Theory Test, the
Hazard Perception Test and the
Limited Edition software, as well

The DSA does recommend that you put in extra driving practice with a friend or relative. When you
have enough confidence, practise on as many different types of road as you can, in all sorts of traffic
conditions - even in the dark and on dual carriageways where the upper speed limit applies. You may
be asked to drive on such roads during the test. Don't just concentrate on the exercises involved in
the test.
Make sure the car you practise in is insured for the purpose of learning to drive in and that it is
insured for you to drive in it. Fit standard 'L' plates on the front and rear of the car and not on
the windows, which would obscure your views.
When you practise try not to obstruct other traffic. Most drivers are tolerant of learners, but don't try
their patience too much. Try not to annoy local residents; for example, don't repeatedly practise
emergency stops in the same quiet residential streets, or reverse repeatedly around the same corner.
