All of our instructors are fully qualified Approved Driving Instructors. They can provide you with up to date lessons covering all the recent changes to the driving test. In 2010 the test changed to incorporate “Independent Driving” which is a section of the driving tests that asks pupils to follow signs to a destination or to follow a series of instructions given to them verbally and diagrammatically by the examiner. As a result of this new section the number of manoeuvres has been reduced to one instead of two.
