Just passed first time with David and couldn't have asked for a better instructor! Incredibly punctual, great learning speed and a great bonus that he's a forest fan too! Definitely recommend him if you're looking to pass quickly and efficiently!

Test tip of the month for Ilkeston

When you approach junctions, keep checking until you've decided to go. If the junction is blind, try leaning forward and moving your head as if watching a tennis match. If it's blind, don't be afraid to wind the window down to try and hear anything while you are creeping out to improve your view.

Useful driving test tip for Ilkeston

It's a classic, but 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.
