Driving Frequently Asked Questions

Learning to drive is an exciting new experience and it’s only natural to have lots of questions.

I’ve listed 10 of the most commonly asked questions below, but if you want to ask me something else, please call now on 07783 398098.
 

How much do your driving lessons cost?
You can find a full list of prices on the driving lessons page.


Will I have to share my lesson with another pupil?
No, unlike some driving schools I never pick up my next pupil at the end of your lesson. You get full 1 to 1 tuition for the time you’ve paid for.


Do I need to pass my theory test before I start taking lessons?
No, in fact taking some lessons first can help you better prepare for your theory and hazard perception tests as you’ll have some on-road experience.


What tuition car do you have?
My car is 5 door Vauxhall Corsa – chosen for its easy to use controls and manoeuvrability.


Are you a fully qualified driving instructor?
Yes, I am a fully qualified Approved Driving Instructor (ADI). I display the green hexagon badge in my windscreen that proves I am qualified.


Why is the first lesson 2 hours long?
Your first lesson needs to be 2 hours long so I have enough time to show you all the controls and also let you have your first shot of driving the car.

Can I have evening and weekend lessons?
Yes of course, I work 6 days a week and my hours are flexible so I can fit in with your work/school/college commitments. There is no extra charge for evening or weekend lessons.


What is your pass rate?
My pass rate is well above the national average of just over 45%.


How long have you been an instructor for?
I have been a fully qualified driving instructor for over six years and have helped dozens of people just like you pass their driving tests and enjoy the freedom of the open road.


How many driving lessons will I need before my test?
There isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ answer to this question. Every pupil learns at their own pace and some people may need 30 hours tuition while others will need 60 hours or more.

My approach is to make sure you learn at the right pace for you and make sure you’re 100% ready for your test so you don’t waste your time or money.
