Dedicated to teaching 'safe driving for life’
Our aim is to teach our learners to drive safely. We may not be the cheapest driving school but we do pride ourselves on ensuring our pupils are taught to drive with safety in mind. Learning to drive is not just about just passing a test. We take our profession very seriously and believe our pupils benefit from our advice. We do not encourage you to take your theory or practical test until you are totally ready. This way you will not have to retake your test numerous times, which can happen if you take it before you are ready. Obviously, anything can happen on the day and we cannot guarantee you will pass but we will do our utmost to prepare you well and give you as much out of town experience as possible. Taking numerous tests can be both costly and demoralising!
Structured lessons
Lessons will be carefully structured to suit your own level of ability. Everyone learns new skills at a different rate. We will not hold you back if you are a quick learner nor will we push you if you need more time to develop your new skills.
Your lessons will follow the recommended Driving Standards Agency syllabus and you will be given a log of your progress and notes for each lesson.
As a new learner, everything will be explained to before you begin each new subject and you will be given the chance to practice as much as necessary before a new topic is introduced.
You will learn everything from how the controls of the car work, how to manoeuvre the car around right through to driving on fast, busy roads.
Training Vehicles
All vehicles are the new Peugeot 207, 5 door hatchback, power steering, fully adjustable drivers seat, (if you are under 5 ft or over 6 ft you will fit in!) twin airbags, ABS and all the usual mod cons! All our pupils find these cars comfortable and easy to drive.

Lesson Times
The first driving lesson usually starts at 9am and the last lesson is usually finished by 5pm. These times can be flexible in order to accommodate a pupils working hours or to practice night driving etc.
Most lessons are carried out in two hour sessions as from past experience and pupils' preference, one hour does not give long enough to work effectively on the necessary subjects. However, in certain circumstances the length of lesson can be altered.
Availability
Lessons are usually carried out Mon to Fri with some availability on Saturdays and Sundays.
