Driving Lessons In Newbury

Home to various attractions such as Newbury Racecourse and Donnington Castle, you'll find the roads of Newbury tend to be fairly busy and congested - which is why you need a knowledgeable instructor who can help you master the basics somewhere less daunting before encouraging you to tackle the local A34 dual carriageway. We usually recommend getting started around the Donnington area as there isn't as much traffic and you'll find some slightly wider roads.

Unlike most companies providing driving lessons in Newbury, we only use local driving instructors that know all of the test routes. In particular, they'll ensure that you're fearless of the famous Robin Hood Roundabout, which many learners fail on due to there being a lane that splits into 2. Don't worry, though; our instructors know that this comes up in the test fairly often. They will make sure you master this and remember to check your blind spots!

When wanting to start driving lessons in Newbury, we ensure that you are paired with a professional and proficient driving instructor. You can usually start your driving lessons in Newbury with us within a week.

During certain times, you may need to wait longer to start your driving lessons. However, you can call our booking line for exact availability.

Yes, we do. We believe it's a great way to prepare many pupils for a driving test. If you don't like your current driving school and are reading this, you may benefit from our 2-hour assessment lesson. In some instances, we will combine an assessment with a mock test to help you understand your current driving level and how far you are away from the test standard.

After an initial chat, where your driving instructor in Newbury will find out about your previous experience and check your provisional licence and eyesight, you will start practising behind the wheel. Your driving instructor will take you to a quiet road in Newbury, away from other traffic, such as Heather Gardens or Mandarin Drive.

Your driving instructor will then teach you the basic controls of the car. You will learn how to move off and stop in the car, how to steer, clutch control and the different pedals. You may also learn how to turn left from a major to minor road and right (which is always harder), and even T Junctions, depending on how fast you are progressing.

We are very pleased to have driving instructors in Newbury who specialise in teaching learners with ADD and other conditions, such as Autism, ADHD, Dyspraxia and Dyslexia. Just let our friendly Bookings Team know that you wish to be paired with one of these instructors and they will arrange this for you.
