Driving Lessons in Skelmersdale

On your first driving lesson in Skelmersdale, your driving instructor will take you to a quiet residential area, somewhere like Elmers Green, so that you can start practising your driving skills without feeling under pressure from other drivers. Once you are feeling confident, they will look to take you out in busier roads and trickier areas, covering mini roundabouts and big roundabouts on the larger A and B roads in and around Skelmersdale. You will then move on to dual carriageways and more complex manoeuvres. This will all happen at a pace that works for you under the expert guidance of your driving instructor.

PIP, which is short for Personal Independence Payment, is a state benefit given to people aged 16 to 64 who require extra support due to a disability. Receiving it could mean you could receive financial help towards the cost of your driving lessons through a grant called the Driving Lessons Grant. This grant is provided by the charity Motability, but receiving PIP does not automatically make you eligible to receive the Driving Lessons Grant. You will need to be a Motability Scheme member through Motability, be on a Government-assessed means-tested benefit and have a provisional license.
