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!

Daren has great tips and advice to help you pass I was a nervous driver but after an early test I was able to build up my confidence with Daren and his great techniques.

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!!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

Absolutely aced my practical test first time, thanks to Darren Chalk!! Such a great instructor, I will be recommending him to family and friends!!

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...

Beginners will typically start their lessons in quieter areas such as Marston Industrial Estate, Rivermead Industrial Estate, Hillmead, Nythe and Eldene, to name a few. Once you have mastered the basics such as steering, clutch control, moving away/stopping, turning left and right, your instructor will then get you driving in and around the town. With the test centre located just 7 minutes from the heart of the town, it's imperative you are driving in and around the the town's test routes so you are fully prepared for the big test day.

Swindon driving test centre is situated on the outskirts of town, meaning your driving test could include some driving on country roads. 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 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 instructors 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.

We offer both weekly and intensive driving lessons in Swindon. Find out more about our intensive driving courses here.
