Frequently Asked Questions
Looking to find answers to common driving lesson queries? Whether you’re wondering about the benefits of manual vs. automatic cars, how many lessons you’ll need, or options for intensive courses and refresher lessons, our FAQ page covers it all.
What age can I start driving?
You must be at least 17 and have a British Provisional license.
Should I learn in an automatic car or a manual car?
Learning and passing your driving test in a manual car carries more advantages, i.e., you will be able to drive an automatic without sitting a further test. Manual cars tend to be less expensive to run, and insurance can be cheaper. Contrary to popular belief, passing a driving test in an automatic car is not necessarily easier than a manual; however, it can be more expensive.
How many driving lessons will I need to take?
From our experience, 15 to 25 lessons should get you to test standards.
Can I be picked up from home, school, work, or college?
Yes! Just let the instructor know in advance where you would like to start the lesson. Provided the pickup point is within an easy radius, this can be arranged.
Do I need to pass the Theory Test before I can start my driving lessons?
No! We recommend that you take driving lessons and practice the theory simultaneously, as this will reinforce what you learn in the lesson compared to what you learn in theory.
Do you do the Pass Plus?
Yes, we are registered members of the Pass Plus Scheme.
