Test Tip Of The Month For Bury St Edmunds

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.

Useful Driving Test Tip For Bury St Edmunds

Did you know you can touch the gear lever if you are unsure of what gear you are in? Some cars will tell you what gear you are in, while others don't. If in doubt, briefly touch the gear lever and, based on its position, you should be able to identify what gear you are in without looking down.

Frequently asked questions...

Everyone learns at different speeds and some come to their driving lessons with more experience than others. Due to this and other factors, like confidence, the time it takes for people to pass their driving test with us varies. Your driving instructor will be able to give you an idea of how many lessons you're likely to need after they've seen your driving skills on your first lesson.

We can, however, tell you that by learning with us you will pass faster than with any other driving school. On average, last year, pupils learning to drive with us passed after just 26 hours of tuition - that's less than half the national average time! We also regulalry have learners passing in 10-15 hours from scratch, so you can be confident that we will help you pass quickly and safely.

Yes we can. Our driving instructors in Bury St Edmunds understand that their learners need their driving lessons to be at convenient times and locations. They are flexible on pick-up and drop-off places and can work around your demanding schedule. Just get in touch with our friendly Bookings Team on 0330 124 4877 to book in your driving lessons with us and we'll arrange it all for you.

Your driving instructor will come to meet you at a time and place locally that works well for you. They will introduce themselves and check both your eyesight and provisional driving licence to ensure that the driving lesson can go ahead. You will then have a quick conversation about your experience and, if you have never driven before, you will be taken to a quiet residential road in Bury St Edmunds, such as Appledown Drive, where you can practice moving off and stopping, and get familiar with the car controls.

Once the lesson is over, you will have a quick debrief. Your instructor will also record what you covered along with any advice or guidance that has been given to you for next time and for you to take away.

Our best advice for you would be to rest assured that it's completely normal to feel nervous before your first driving lesson. All of our driving instructors will be expecting this and they are highly trained to make you feel comfortable during your lessons and put you at ease.

Our instructors have years of experience and have taught people of many different abilities to learn to drive, including very nervous learners. They will start your lessons on some of the quieter roads in Bury St Edmunds to get you used to driving and build up your confidence at your own pace. They will also tailor a lesson plan specifically for you so that you feel happy every step of the way.
