Driving Lessons in Derby

Are you looking for driving lessons in Derby?  If you are there are a number of things that you need to be aware of.  Rather than just picking the first school or instructor you find online or in the phone book it pays to do a little research first.  Making a mistake can be costly and could mean that it takes longer to get your driving licence.  Here are a few key points to consider when you are looking for driving lessons in Derby.

All instructors should be fully qualified and hold an ADI (approved driving instructor) certificate.  You can check whether your instructor is approved as they will have a green octagonal badge displayed in the corner of their windscreen.  This really is a must.

Grade.  The DSA (Driving Standards Agency) rates all instructors on a grade of 1-6 where 6 is the highest possible score and indicates the instructor performs to very high levels.  Always check which grade your instructor has received.

Pass rate.  Another good indication of how good an instructor is.  A high pass rate particularly a high first time pass rate means that the instructor will be of a high quality.

Car.  Always make sure that you check out the make, model and age of the car you will be using.  Ideally you want a modern car which has the latest safety feature such as ABS and airbags in it.

Theory test.  Will the instructor provide help passing your theory test or do you have to do it on your own?  Most schools and instructors will provide books and software to help you pass.

Price.  Will you get a discount for block booking or is the price the same for lessons?

These are just some of the things you need to know before you book driving lessons in Derby.
