Driving lessons Congleton,

Macclesfield & surrounding areas.

Beginner or previous experience?

Learning to drive is an exciting experience, many young people wait  in anticipation of their 17th birthday
It's also common to find learners starting later in life,in fact recently I have recently taught three drivers the youngest was 38 and the oldest 67!

Lots of learners focus on their driving test, but passing a test is only the start, you should be learning to drive with an Instructor who teaching methods will allow to meet your aims, but also teach you how to drive any car, how to understand car control and the huge responsability that driving involves (one of the major reasons people fail driving test is they simply haven't been taught correctly).
I believe the correct way to teach someone to drive is to educate on
— Car control and understanding its limitations

— Early stage Thinking once Controls are understood

— Taking responsibility as a driver and complying with laws and regulations

— Becoming an Independent by Concentrating hard and advanced thinking

— Route planning, fuel saving ,vehicle maintenance,environmental impact of driving

— Weather Systems, your wellbeing,lifestyle and its impact on driving

— Avoiding crashing,road rage,distractions,and breaking the law

— Enjoying driving and easily passing your driving test!
I conduct driving lessons around Congleton,Macclesfield and surrounding towns and areas such as Holmes chapel,Wilmslow and Knutsford.

Getting started.

Before considering learning to drive you must have your provisional license and be able to meet current eyesight tests, Direct Gov has the most up to date information.
Learning to drive is a commitment to study and practice in your own time as well as taking lessons and also being able to fund your training.

The average pupil will take approximately 2.3hrs x their age; if you're 17 you would expect to have around 39hours lessons, plus private practice. This is obviously a guide to help you budget, however every pupil learns at a different pace.
