Frequently asked questions...

I've been having driving lessons in Chester-le-Street and I've just found out pregnant. Can I keep learning to drive?

Yes, you can. We teach many pregnant women to drive every year. As long as you feel fit and able, then you can continue with your driving lessons. If you start taking any medication that may affect your ability to drive then you will need to follow the guidelines on the label, or you may need to stop driving if it is likely to affect your ability.

Please see our article on learning to drive whilst pregnant here for more detail.

What should I expect to learn on my first driving lesson in Chester-le-Street?

Your driving instructor will initially have a chat with you to find out about your driving experience, then they will do an eyesight check and check your provisional licence. After this, they will drive you to a quiet residential area, such as Wynyard, so that you can start practising behind the wheel. You will look at the basic controls, steering, moving off and stopping, turning left from a major to minor road and turning right from major to minor road, which is always harder. You may even be shown T-Junctions, if you have progressed quickly. Rest assured, your driving instructor will ensure that the driving lesson is tailored to your requirements and moves at a pace you are happy with.

I live in Tan Hills, but work in Chester-le-Street. Could I be picked up from home and dropped off in the town centre?

Yes this should be absolutely fine. Many of our learners find it more convenient to be picked up in one place and dropped off in another and we are happy to offer this flexibility for them. We have driving instructors in your area that cover Tan Hills so just let our bookings team know that this is what you need when you book your lessons. They will then make sure it is arranged for you.
