Driving lessons · manual and automatic

Learn to drive with someone who is actually calm.

Dual-controlled cars, the same instructor every week, and a first lesson on a quiet estate at a quiet time. Nervous drivers and returning drivers are genuinely welcome.

The first hour is an assessment. We find out what you can already do and tell you honestly how many lessons it is likely to take. Nothing to buy up front.

35 an hour, 320 for a block of ten. Two hours at a time if you prefer. The hour before the test is included in the price.

You sit the test in the car you learned in. And we book it once you are passing mock tests, not before.

Pick-up from home, work or college anywhere in the area, at no extra cost. See every lesson and price

Book your first lesson

A quiet residential street with parked cars and autumn trees, the kind of road a first lesson starts on

What we teach

Whatever stage you are at.

Most people come to us having never sat in the driver's seat. Some come back after twenty years off.

Complete beginners

First lesson on a quiet estate, not a dual carriageway. Nobody goes anywhere they are not ready for.

Manual and automatic

Both taught, both tested. If the clutch is what is holding you back, automatic is not cheating; it is a licence.

Refresher lessons

Passed years ago and lost your nerve, or moving somewhere that needs motorway confidence. An hour or two is often enough.

Intensive courses

A week of long sessions with the test booked at the end. Suits people with a deadline, and nobody else.

Mock tests

A full route on the real test roads, marked the way an examiner would. Better to find the faults with us.

Pass Plus

Motorways, night driving and rural roads after you pass: the ones the test never covers.

How it goes

From never driven to licence.

Same instructor, same car, same slot each week, and you can see what is left.

Get your provisional

Apply online before your first lesson. It takes about a week to arrive and we cannot start without it.

An assessment hour

We find out what you can already do and tell you honestly how many lessons it is likely to take.

Weekly lessons

Progress is tracked against the official syllabus, so you can see what is done and what is left.

Theory, then test

We book the practical once you are passing mocks, and you take it in the car you learned in.

Before you start

What learners ask us.

The official average is around 45 hours, and most people are somewhere near it. We give you a real estimate after your first hour rather than a number designed to sell a block.

No. Lessons and the test are in our dual-controlled car, fully insured, and you sit the test in the car you learned in.

Anywhere in the area, at no extra cost: home, work or college. The lesson starts when you get in the car, not when we set off to fetch you.

Two clear days and there is no charge. Less than that and we ask for half, because the slot rarely gets filled, though we are human about illness.

It is the most common thing anyone tells us on the phone. The first lesson is a quiet estate at a quiet time, and we go at your pace.

Book your first lesson.

An hour with a patient instructor, in a dual-controlled car, from your door. No block to buy before you have met us.
