Test Tip Of The Month For Portsmouth

Be sure to secure the car first so it doesn't roll into a new road or roll back, then restart quickly and safely. Check it's safe to move away again as well. If somebody is going round you, you may want to wait for them to pass first.

Useful Driving Test Tip For Portsmouth

Take your time on your manoeuvre so you can keep your head moving around in all directions. If you see anything coming towards you be prepared to stop; remember it’s their priority. If you stop, don’t forget to look all around you before you start moving again. Lastly, don’t stare in the door mirrors. You can glance in them quickly only to see where you are and what you need to do with your direction.

Frequently asked questions...

Yes, we have helped hundreds of local students to pass their test and completely understand that you need to put your studies first. Our driving instructors in Portsmouth will schedule lessons with you at times that work with your schedule. They are also flexible on pick-up and drop-off locations so if it would be helpful to be picked up from the university and dropped off at your home, or vice versa, this can be arranged. Just call our friendly Bookings Team on 0330 124 4877 what you need and they will pair you with an instructor that can help.

Yes, we have Grade-A automatic driving instructors in the area who can help you to pass fast. We handpick all of our driving instructors to provide the highest quality tuition for our learners and to help them develop their skills with every session.

All of our automatic driving lessons are carried out by a local driving instructor who knows all of the popular test routes. Each teaches in an easy-to-drive vehicle so if you have been struggling with manual driving, they can help.

Our automatic instructors tend to get booked up quickly so we would always recommend contacting us as soon as possible to get booked in to avoid disappointment.

This will depend on your availability and how fast you are looking to pass, but most of our pupils begin with just a 1 or 2-hour lesson a week, increasing this as the driving test draws closer. We find that having 2-hour lessons are the best way to get the most out of your lessons and are the most effective way to learn because they give you a good amount of time to drive and practice manoeuvres etc.

On your first lesson, you will need to bring your provisional driving licence as your driving instructor will need to see this before they can start teaching you. Apart from that you just need to bring yourself and a willingness to learn!
