Useful Driving Test Tip For Pontypool

When should you signal for parked cars? If you think another road user may benefit, then apply a signal. For example, driving down a busy street with several parked cars, you probably won’t need to use the signal. If you are driving down a higher-speed road and you see a car broken down, you may wish to signal to warn other road users of the incident and let them know you are changing direction slightly too.

Frequently asked questions...

First off, your driving instructor in Pontypool will introduce themselves and find out a bit more about you and your driving experience. They will check your provisional licence and your eyesight, then take you to a quiet residential area in Pontypool, such as Clos Afon Llwyd. Here you will learn about the car's controls, clutch control, gears, moving off and stopping, away from other traffic.

As soon as your driving instructor feels you are ready, you will be driving around some quieter roads in and around Pontypool to practice turning left and right from a major to minor road. Then you will be tackling the busier A and B roads around the town, including the A472 and A4042 to practice meeting traffic and roundabouts. Rest assured, your driving lessons in Pontypool will not just be restricted to Pontypool itself - you will be mastering the road network around it and practising test routes for your chosen driving test centre (likely Abergavenny or Newport) as soon as you are able to.

Yes, we do. driveJohnson's has a network of hardworking, top-notch driving instructors covering Pontypool and its surroundings. We not only offer driving lessons in Newport, Abergavenny, Caerphilly, Abertillery, Ebbw Vale, Blackwood and other towns, we also cover smaller areas such as Griffithstown, Penygarn, New Inn, Abersychan, Talywain and others.
