What I Cover and What To Expect

Driving Lessons

 

Standard lessons are usually one, one and a half, or two hours in duration, depending on location and skill level. My lessons can begin and end at different locations of your choice within reasonable distance, such as your school, college, or home. Please see below for standard lesson rates.

Motorway Lessons


Only available following a driving test pass. Motorway lessons are usually 2 – 3 hours in duration. We will cover entering and leaving a motorway, changing lanes and overtaking, using the services and emergency procedures.

Pass Plus


The Pass Plus course is also only available following a driving test pass. This course has a duration of 6 hours and covers such topics as motorways, dual carriage ways, night driving and bad weather driving. A certificate is issued upon completion the course.



Refresher Lessons


Especially designed for the driver who’s test was a few years ago. Can you remember which lane to be in when navigating a roundabout? Which signals to use and when? Need to refresh your knowledge and skills? Any topics you wish can be covered.



Theory & Hazard Perception

 

Having difficulty reaching a high enough standard to feel confident about your theory test? Or maybe you’ve already failed one or more? I can help you achieve the standard neccessary to pass. These lessons are tailored to suit the individual.



New to the UK?


Whether you need to take and pass the UK driving test, or as a driver from another country you need to build confidence to drive in the towns and cities of the UK, I can help train you to the standards required to pass the UK driving test.

Cancellations

You must give a minimum of 24 hours notice from the start time of your driving lesson to avoid being charged. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice will be charged in full. This includes any illnesses.

You must tell me if you know of any medical conditions or legal reasons, restrictions or limitations that may have an affect on driving, such as epilepsy or any other medical conditions. You must inform me about any medical or legal issues before our first lesson.


Alcohol & Drugs

I operate a zero tolerance on either, any suspicion of either and the lesson will be immediately suspended and you will be required to pay for the lesson. Think about if you are going out on the evening before a driving lesson alcohol stays in your system for many hours after consuming. Be aware that some medications are not suitable for driving, they could make you drowsy etc. read the labels for advice and information. Punctuality its your responsibility to make sure you are on time for your driving lesson, if you are late without prior arrangement you will loose the time from your lesson, your lesson will still end at the time planned.
