How long have you been thinking about driving for?

We know exactly how you feel about standing waiting for a bus watching the cars go by and then you start to think how your friends can drive…sometimes driving can seem a million miles away, but today you are going to change all that by contacting Lendrums Driving School.

We know a few things about you already…

and that is going to help you pass your driving test. We know that you would love to pass first time, not just for the achievement, but also it’s going to save you a fair bit of cash in doing so. We think that it costs a learner around £200 each time they fail.

So how can you pass first time?

It’s all in the planning, and don’t worry we will take care of that for you. What you are going to do, is take part in a learning to drive syllabus, it is sometimes known as a progress report form and it charts your driving development. When you first try out a driving skill, let’s say a parallel park, it is marked on the syllabus as being introduced. Now when you can parallel park without the need of the instructor’s help, you are marked as independent.

When you go into your test you will be independent in all area’s of the syllabus, and because it is recorded, you can see with your own eyes how you are 100% prepared and therefore should be feeling confident.

Building your confidence…

as well as your preparation is very important, not just for passing your test but also for safer driving. After you have booked your test we will take you on mock tests, this is a driving test under test conditions. It is your opportunity to drive independently and to grow your confidence. All we want to show you is that you do not need us anymore.

The secret to passing your driving test first time…

is a combination of confidence, preparation and understanding what the driving examiner is going to be looking for. At Lendrums Driving School we teach you exactly that. So let’s start now and you will see the common sense in it all.

The driving examiner is going to ask you to drive and carry out some manoeuvres, throughout your time driving they are going to be looking for errors, but how do they assess those errors ? And this is the common sense and it is what we will be teaching you from your very first lesson with us. The driving examiner wants to know you are a safe driver, we are sure you have figured that out already, and they also want to see you are in total control of the car at all times, and finally aware of your surroundings.

You see it’s like this, you are allowed to make little mistakes you are only human and if you make a mistake then correct it. So for example you are asked to drive into a bay and you get it slightly wrong because your tyre is over the line, as long as you are safe, in control, aware of your surroundings and correct the mistake you won’t get failed for it.

However if the examiner thinks you are not aware of what is happening around your car, you are not in control and unsafe that’s where people fail. But because you will be 100% prepared from taking our leaning to drive syllabus this won’t need to happen, you will know how to drive and have the confidence to make correction if needed.
