I had quality lessons with Lisa and thanks to her teaching I am now a qualified driver that can tackle any road.

I got to pass my test to day and if it wasn't for Lisa getting me ready in just 15 hours I wouldn't have stood a chance.

Lisa is a great teacher! Very clear in the standards she expects and communicates well from every aspect. I passed first time today and I owe it all to her! Thank you for all your help Lisa.

Great instructor, super friendly and fantastic lessons every time.

Lisa is an amazing instructor and it feels great to have passed my test thanks to her teaching.

Lisa is a lovely instructor and was great at keeping me calm and confident whilst I was on my lessons and thankfully she knows the best ways to pass and grow a learners confidence.

If it wasn't for Lisa I wouldn't have been able to pass my test with no minors or on my first time.

Lisa is a great instructor and make sure if you need to pass you learn with Lisa as she is super friendly and an expert driver.

Brilliant instructor that always had a dedicated plan that built upon my skills. Thank you so much Lisa, you are amazing.

The best instructor I could have asked for, Lisa is always punctual and used a great number of techniques to help me ace my manoeuvers.

Test Tip Of The Month For Chesterfield

You have a 1 in 4 chance of being asked to do the emergency stop. If you are asked to do this, the examiner will explain this to you when the car is stationary. You will most likely notice your examiner looking over their shoulder when the car is moving. This is to double-check it’s safe, so be ready. When they look over their shoulder, they are about to ask you to stop!

Useful Driving Test Tip For Chesterfield

Many learners think they should offset their mirrors, so they must move their heads more during the test. You should be able to check your mirrors by moving your eyes, not your head. The examiners are trained to look out for eye checks rather than head movements. Moving your head may cause the examiner to think your mirrors are not set up correctly.

If you have no prior driving experience, your driving instructor in Chesterfield will begin teaching you to drive by taking you to a quiet area in Chesterfield away from traffic, such as Carsington Close. Here you will learn the basic car controls, how to move off and stop in the car, how to use the clutch and gears, and steering. Once you have mastered these, you will be driving around quiet residential streets, like Home Hall Crescent, practising turning left and right from a major to minor road.

As soon as you are ready, your driving instructor will have you driving around the busier roads, including the B roads that thread across Chesterfield. You will be learning how to tackle roundabouts and dual carriageways on the A61. As you approach your driving test, you will also learn motorway driving on the M1 and practise all the popular test routes for your chosen test centre, likely the one based on your doorstep in Chesterfield, so that you can be ready for test day.
