Is driving a car difficult?

Of course when you first get into a car, it can be a little overwhelming, but were here for you! We’ve been driving over 12 years which means we can offer expert advice to get you passed in no time. We always make sure that you drive safely and that other road users feel confident with you on the road.
I’m nervous, does that matter?

Absolutely not! I think it’s fair to say most first-time drivers are at least a little bit nervous. It’s completely normal. London can be a busy place, but the hours fly by with us. We make sure you always remain safe. We have a calm approach and ensure lessons are fun as well as educational. We’ll take it at your pace, and you can pick what you’d like to learn - We won’t force you into anything.
Where do I take my driving test?

Your instructor will make that decision in terms of the most local test centre for you.
When will I know if I am test ready?

As with all professional driving instructors, we follow a DVSA syllabus to ensure you have safe driving for life. Once both you and your instructor feel you are ready, we will go ahead and book a test for you.
What happens if I do not feel ready for my test?

We do have the option to change the driving test, we need to give the DVSA 3 working days’ notice to change a driving test.
What about if I fail?

If you fail the driving test, then you will sit down with your instructor and see what happened and where we may need to improve on. Nerves do play a part in the driving test. We would only send you for a test if you are ready.
