What is the best way of learning to drive ?
By
far the best and quickest way, is to have professional tuition with
an Approved Driving Instructor, combined with practice between
lessons when your instructors thinks you are
ready.
Who
can accompany me whilst driving as a learner driver
?
Anyone who holds
a current full licence and has held that licence for at least 3
years and is over the age of 21.
Why
do prices vary so much between different driving
schools?
As
with most things in life, you get what you pay for. Cheapest is not
always the best!. Check that you are getting full hourly lessons,
(not all schools do). Also you may end up doing more lessons with a
cheaper school than if you chose a good one slightly more
expensive. In the end you pay more. Look for a school with a good
reputation - look at Peppers !
I
wish to learn to drive but I am very nervous about
traffic?
Don’t
worry, at Peppers all our instructors are highly trained and will
help put you at your ease. Your first lessons will be conducted on
very quiet roads learning the basics of car control before you are
gently introduced to busier road conditions.
How
many lessons will I need?
This
is the most difficult question to answer, because it depends on the
individual. Younger people tend to learn quicker, but learning to
drive is a very individual form of tuition and people will learn at
different rates and the one golden rule a good instructor will use,
is that you must only learn at your pace so that you will not be
put into a situation in which you cannot cope before you are ready.
For people who have had some driving experience we recommend you
take an assessment lessons with Peppers, then your instructor can
give you some idea as to the number of lessons you may
need.
I
would like to become a Driving Instructor, what are the
requirements?
You
must be 21 or over and have held a full driving licence for a
minimum of 4 years, with no serious endorsements. You must enjoy
driving and be calm and patient under pressure. You must also pass
a searching three part Driving Standards Agency examination,
testing your theory knowledge, your driving ability and your
ability to teach. For further information we would suggest you
contact us and visit our "Instructor training" page on
this site.
