What should I bring to my lesson?

Can I use my own car for the driving lessons?

For safety reasons, we are unable to accommodate driving lessons in personal vehicles. Our cars are equipped with dual controls, which may need to be used in case of an emergency, ensuring the safety of both our students and instructors.

How many driving lessons do I need before I can pass the test?

The number of driving lessons required before you can pass your driving test can vary depending on your individual skills and abilities. It's important to remember that passing your driving test isn't just about completing a certain number of lessons - it's about demonstrating safe driving skills.

What is the minimum age to start learning how to drive?

In the UK, the minimum age to start driving lessons on public roads is 17 years old.
