I had a great experience with learning to drive with Tim. Passing the first time of taking my test with 4 minors, just two months after having had my first ever driving lesson.

Jonathan Hopkins

Really lovely instructor, puts you at ease by being friendly and someone you can have a laugh with. He is always on time and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Alan as a driving instructor.

Codie

Great instructor!! Alan is really flexible around my school hours and he’s always on time. He explains things really clearly and stays calm when things don’t go quite to plan. I couldn’t have passed without him. Thank you!!

Vicki

Alan was an amazing instructor and helped me pass first time in St Albans with only 1 minor. He is very knowledgeable and has an amazing approach to teaching. He is also someone who is very easy to talk to and is very up to date with test requirements, routes etc. I couldn't recommend him enough.

Test Tip Of The Month For St Albans

When you come out from the test centre to turn right, there will be several parked cars on the left and 2 trees on the right-hand side, which encroach onto the road. Think about the potential hazards as the road becomes very narrow, but remember that you have priority over oncoming vehicles because of trees! Although never assume priority, make sure to check first. Once you have passed the trees on your right hand, you will approach a right-hand blind bend. Approach in second gear, covering the brake and clutch. After passing the right bend, there is an immediate left bend and 2 mini roundabouts (blind on the right). When approaching the mini roundabouts, get into 2nd gear lasting 1 car length, then drop to 1st gear, peeping and creeping (you cannot risk in 2nd).

Useful Driving Test Tip For St Albans

It's a classic, but many learners think they should offset their mirrors so that they have to 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.

Frequently asked questions...

Yes, we have a number of male and female driving instructors in St Albans offering lessons in manual and automatic vehicles. We also have many driving instructors in Luton and other surrounding areas offering lessons in manual and automatic vehicles.

During your driving lessons in St Albans, you will spend more than 90% of your lessons driving around. You will begin by practising on quieter roads and eventually move onto faster roads such as the A414. You will also be shown likely test routes and taken to tricky junctions and roundabouts.

There is a test centre located directly in St Albans. Ideally, this should be where you take your driving test from, as the majority of your driving lessons will have taken place in St Albans so you will be familiar with the roads. However, you may want a test at an earlier date than is available at the St Albans test centre. If this is the case, you can book your test at another test centre nearby, such as Watford or Hemel Hempstead.

We cover many of the surrounding areas of St Albans, including, but not limited to, Hatfield, Hemel Hempstead and Luton. If you're having driving lessons in Hatfield, or driving lessons in Welwyn Garden City, many of your lessons will also take place in St Albans where your nearest test centre is located.

We are happy to provide our learners with the option of learning to drive with a female driving instructor. Whilst all of our driving instructors come highly rated and are all experts in the St Albans area, we understand if you wish to be taught by a female instructor.

When it comes to being taught by a female instructor, you can choose from our great roster of female instructors. Just mention this to one of our booking coordinators when you book on.
