After a few initial checks, your driving instructor will drive you to a quiet area, like Norton Lees, so that they can start to teach you to drive away from traffic. If you have no prior driving experience, and many of our learners don't, you will begin by learning the basic car controls, gears, clutch control as well as moving off and stopping.
When you have mastered the basics, your driving instructor will have you driving along quieter roads in Sheffield, like Moonshine Lane and Everingham Road, to practice turning left and right from major to minor roads, emerging from junctions and meeting traffic.
As you grow in confidence, you will be taught manoeuvres and brave the busier A and B roads that circle the city centre. When your driving instructor feels you are ready, they will have you on the A61 to practice dual carriageways and large roundabouts, and you will experience motorway driving on the M1.
However, rest assured that your instructor will tailor your driving lessons to your particular needs and will progress your lessons at a pace you feel comfortable with.
