SO relieved to have passed my test this afternoon with only 4 minors. Couldn't have done it without Darren, such an amazing instructor, I'd deffo recommend him!!

I am still amazed that I passed my driving test first time, and if it wasn't for him I would still be needing to get lifts to work.

Can't believe I passed first time! Thanks so much to Darren Chalk for being such a brilliant instructor, no problems whatsoever! I will be recommending him to my friends!

Amazing driving instructor and if it wasn't for Daren I wouldn't have been able to have passed after just 17 hours of learning.

I was told to learn with Daren after my partner passed with him, I am so glad that I did as because of his lessons I was able to pass on my first go after just 15 hours.

if you're looking to pass your test asap and ace it at the same time, Darren is your guy! incredible instructor, the lessons were good fun and I passed first time!

I had a great time learning with Daren and thanks to him I pass first time and with no minors.

Shoutout to Darren for being the best instructor out there! Passed my test first time with only 1 minor! Thanks so much man, had a blast learning to drive with you!

Very patient and skilled instructor - my son passed 1st time. Thank you

Great instructor and if you want to pass with confidence make sure you learn with Daren.

Test Tip Of The Month For Swindon

When approaching a no-entry sign, expect the examiner to say nothing unless there is more than one option on where to go. As you approach the no-entry, the examiner will be ready to brake you if you aren’t slowing down and look as though you will miss the no-entry. If you notice their foot or leg moving slightly, you possibly have 1-2 seconds to go in the correct direction before they use the dual controls.

Useful Driving Test Tip For Swindon

A nice little tip that should serve you well is that whenever the examiner gives you a direction, you will inevitably have to check your mirrors. If they say, “Next road on the left”, check the interior and left door mirrors. If they say, “At the roundabout, follow the road ahead”, check your interior mirror as you will need to slow down and know what’s behind you.

Frequently asked questions...

When starting driving lessons in Swindon, beginners will typically go to quieter areas, such as Marston Industrial Estate, Rivermead Industrial Estate, Hillmead, Nythe and Eldene, to name a few, to build up their confidence.

There is a strong chance you will be taken into the centre of town, so you'll be facing busy roads and pedestrians. You will also be required to perform one manoeuvre, such as a parallel park or bay park, and you will be familiar with these if you have already started your driving lessons.

All practical driving tests now feature a segment called independent driving. During this, your examiner will ask you to follow a basic map that will be shown to you before moving off. Our driving instructors in Swindon will ensure you have had lots of practice with the popular roads and test routes so there are no nasty surprises on the big day.

Our driving instructors in Swindon are more than happy to pick you up from university, college or work, with an alternative drop off at the end of the lesson for your convenience. We want to make learning to drive as easy as possible for you; this means fitting in with your busy schedules and commitments. For example, if you want to begin your driving lessons in Wroughton and finish them off in town, your instructor will be more than happy to do this.
