Driving Lessons In Welwyn Garden City

As a quaint, green town in Hertfordshire surrounded by many large country parks and old-fashioned buildings, Welwyn Garden City most definitely remains one of the more scenic areas to learn to drive in. During your first driving lesson in Welwyn Garden City, you’re less likely to begin in central areas; your instructor will take you to quieter areas such as Hall Grove and perhaps towards Hatfield Hyde. Hall Grove, in particular, is filled with lots of straight roads and simple left turnings with no roundabouts, ideal for beginners. Your driving instructor may also conduct some of your driving lessons in Hatfield and potentially some driving lessons in St Albans.

Once you have begun to build your confidence behind the wheel and feel ready to tackle more challenging situations, your instructor will use the mile-long Parkway to their advantage. As a large percentage of Parkway features narrow roads, this will help with practising stopping, starting and giving way to other road users. Depending on where you live, you may drive north of Parkway towards The Campus on Bridge Road and head towards the busy A1.

Alternatively, heading south of Parkway will give you the opportunity to try your hand at the more complicated roundabouts just past the Welwyn Rugby Football Club Ground, then continue to head towards either the Sports Park or Hospital Industrial Area to practice manoeuvres.

Since COVID-19, waiting times for tests have increased and may vary significantly depending on where your test centre is.

We can't be exact as this varies from person to person; however, we can say that on average, a complete beginner will require 23-24 hours of driving tuition with us before they are test ready. With our intensive courses pupils take on average 1-4 weeks to pass their driving test.
