FirstCar launches new app for learners

FirstCar has launched a new app to help learner drivers pass their practical test at the first time of asking by avoiding easily preventable mistakes.

Driving Test Wiz is available on both Apple and Android devices – and costs £4.99.

The app contains a series of ten videos which highlight the reasons why practical tests are often failed, offering strategies backed by behavioural science to help viewers avoid them

Beating test day nerves, mastering manoeuvres, improving observation skills and controlling the vehicle are among the topics covered.

James Evans, founder of FirstCar, said: “When we realised that hundreds of thousands of learners were consistently failing their driving test each year for the same common reasons, we set to work to develop this app.

“As we are a trusted brand with our learner audience it was a natural step for us to develop this to help learners avoid making those common mistakes and to help take the stress out of test day. Learning to drive is a serious business and not to be rushed and this app is not a shortcut to passing.

“We firmly believe that for a modest £4.99 Driving Test Wiz will be a worthwhile investment for all learners who use it.”
