After 30 years in the Driving school business, we know what works. We need to maximize the learning curve, but at the same time do not want to overload the pupil. And are and do tailor this to suit the pupil. Our motto is one glove does not fit all. We need to spend the pupil’s money wisely and are very mindful of this. A lot of Driving schools offer one-hour lessons and whilst you do pay a lower price, it will take you much longer to learn to drive. One hour a week, work out the maths.

Is 20 Driving Lessons enough?

By doing a semi Intensive Driving Course this will be reduced, due to the overall time to cover those number of required Driving hours. Information obtained from the DVSA

How many lessons does it take to learn to drive an automatic

There is no specific minimum amount of Automatic Driving Lessons that you need to take before the automatic driving test. You could find yourself taking as few as 20-30 hours of driving lessons. The DVSA states that the average learner with average ability in the UK takes 47 hours of lessons before passing their driving test. Having said that, this does not apply to the automatic car driving lessons, as you will not require as many. 

Are Driving Lessons cheaper in your own car?

You are paying for the Driving Instructors time, so the answer is no. You also have to factor in the Health and Safety of both instructor and pupil. A Driving school vehicle will have dual controls, whilst your own vehicle will not

Should I Take Driving Lessons in my own Car?

There can sometimes be benefits of taking Driving lessons in your own vehicle. However, your lessons will be definitely safer in the instructor’s car due to the dual controls and the instructor will know the capabilities of his training vehicle rather than your own vehicle. A duty of care is of paramount importance here. As a training vehicle that is used by the Driving Instructor, he will know exactly the feel of the controls in their own vehicle. Teaching will often have reference markers to help the learner driver. All of these reference markers which have been used by you at some time or another will likely need to be altered if using the learner’s own car, which may require extra practice and time. If this is one of your non-negotiables that you want driving lessons in your own car, you will have to find a Driving instructor willing to do this.  We have to maintain safety for both instructor and driver.

Is driving an automatic easy

Regardless of whether your vehicle is manual or automatic, each come with their own advantages and disadvantages. Different pupils have their own point of view and in addition to this, what you see as a benefit will largely depend on the type of driving you are doing. If you live in a city and find yourself with lots of traffic, constantly changing gear can be hard work, it can also be distracting whilst you are looking out for pedestrians, negotiating around roundabouts, paying attention to traffic lights and of course, making a note of the speed limits.

Some of the latest automatic vehicles are also incredibly efficient and can change gear quicker than you could in a manual vehicle. When it comes to moving away quickly, manual cars will generally be quicker off the mark. You will find yourself having more control over the car in conditions like snow and ice. Manuals are also generally less expensive to buy. They are also less to insure as well. The expense of automatic cars can also be mirrored in the cost of repairs and services for the same reasons
