Useful Driving Test Tip For Barnstaple

If you stall on your test, try not to panic. You won't fail for stalling the car, but you may fail for how you deal or cope with the stall. For example, if you stall, panic and let the car roll back, you will fail. If you stall, secure the car with footbrake or handbrake, restart and move away safely, you will receive just a driving fault.

Be sure to secure the car first so it doesn't roll into a new road or roll back. Then restart quickly and safely. Check it's safe to move away again as well. If somebody is going round you, you may want to wait for them to pass first.

Frequently answered questions

Yes, we have driving instructors in Barnstaple who are happy to offer driving lessons on the weekend. These slots do tend to go quickly, so if you would prefer to learn to drive on the weekends, we would suggest booking with us as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

If it is more convenient for you to finish your driving lessons in a different area to where you started, our driving school in Barnstaple can accommodate this. Simply let our instructor know in advance where you would like to be collected from and dropped off to. We ask this as it helps them to plan their day more easily and to make sure they can be more efficient in both your route and in getting to their other pupils.
