<p>Yes, you can learn to drive in an automatic car It is generally quicker and easier to learn than a manual, but once you've passed your test you can only drive automatic cars.<br />Also, pricing supplements apply to lessons in an automatic car, due to limited availability of these cars and instructors.</p>

<p>All of our instructors are qualified to the the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) standard, and adhere to a strict MK city driving school code of conduct. But it's important that you get on with your instructor, so if you would like to change we can arrange a new one for you subject to availability</p>

<p>Just as with learning any new skill, each pupil is different and learns at their own pace. Our instructors will strive to get you pass-ready as efficiently as possible. But above all else, it's about putting the person first and delivering a great quality learning experience tailored to your needs.<br />The DVSA team suggests most learners need about 45 hours of professional driving lessons plus 22 hours of private practice, but there's no mandatory minimum.</p>

<p>Our instructors introduce new skills and manoeuvres at the most suitable and comfortable pace for your own needs. Introduction to various manoeuvres also depends on the teaching style of the instructor.<br />Some instructors will begin to teach new manoeuvres as soon as the opportunity presents itself. For example, finding somewhere to park at the end of the lesson,<br />Other instructors prefer to have their pupils master certain foundation skills first, before introducing them to anything more advanced.</p>

<p>You can, but it depends on your instructor. As long as both the pickup and drop off addresses are within your instructor's area, they'll usually be happy to make flexible arrangements.<br />You can discuss things like this with your instructor after you've had your first lesson.</p>

<p>Yes. Most of our instructors offer lessons in the evening and at weekends, although these are popular times and do get booked up in advance.</p>

<p>We can offer intensive driving courses depending on your own availability. They would normally be 6 to 8 hours per week over a number of weeks. Our instructors work with their pupils to create tailored courses.</p>

<p>You can book your practical test online, but first you need to have passed your theory test.</p>

<p>Your theory test result is valid for 2 years. If you haven't passed your practical test within that period, you will need to sit your theory test again.</p>

<p>Yes, you certainly can. Usually, you'll have a driving lesson just before your practical test and then drive to the test centre. Your driving instructor will normally wait in the test centre while you complete your test.<br />Overall, the 'test day session' with your instructor will be 2–3 hours in total – with the lesson beforehand, followed by the test itself.</p>

<p>Myths about driving examiners abound – and this is one of them. It is not true. If you are worried about your practical examination, talk to your driving instructor about how the test works, and what you may be asked to do on your route.</p>

<p>During a test you're allowed up to 15 driving faults (often referred to as minors) in order to pass a test. A major fault occurs when the examiner deems it necessary to intervene in some way due to concerns over the safety of the driver, surrounding vehicles or pedestrians. Any major fault automatically incurs a failed test.</p>

<p>There will always be some element of judgement on the part of the examiner when making assessments. But here's an example scenario that can give an idea of the difference between a major and minor fault.<br />Imagine turning left from a major road into a minor road, and the rear wheel bumps on to the kerb on the way round. This would be a driving fault (also known as a minor fault), and not necessarily a fail.<br />Imagine that same scenario, but the front wheel bumps up onto the kerb followed by the rear wheel. This would be a serious fault, and therefore a fail. If a pedestrian is waiting to cross the road and they are forced to move out of the way, then this too would be a dangerous fault and a fail.<br />Rest assured, our instructors will teach you how to prepare for these potential hazards.</p>
