Book an Intensive Driving Course

Although intensive driving courses in Woodhouse can be demanding, the reward can be worthwhile if it is a fast way to pass your driving test that you are looking for. A driving intensive course is the fastest and most cost-effective way to pass your driving test. With intensive driving courses, the length of the driving lessons is longer than your standard hourly lessons, between 2 hrs to 6 hrs long. And they are usually spread over several days or weeks rather than being spread over many months. In a 2 day intensive driving course you will have 10 hours of driving Individuals with no driving experience are able to take intensive driving courses that last longer so that you get the driving tuition required. The DSA recommends that all drivers take at least 40 hours of professional driving tuition before taking the driving test. An alternative option is to book weekly driving lessons. It is possible to choose this route. However, if you book a 2 hour weekly lesson, it will take between 4 and 6 months to pass your driving test. For 1-hour lessons each week, it will take approximately 8 to 12 months before you pass. Due to your driving lessons being once a week there is a good chance that  you’ll spend a lot time re-capping previous lessons.

Driving an automatic car is not necessarily any easier, it depends on the issues you are having. You won’t notice a difference if you struggling with a common problem such as observation. Driving in an automatic is a good option if your problems with clutch control or gear changing. There is much less to consider when learning to drive in a city with lots of congestion. Because of the nature of urban driving, you will have to change gears often. This can be difficult for both experienced drivers and learner drivers. You can take your driving test in an automatic car, eliminating the possibility of the car stalling and any clutch control problems. If you have difficulties with the gears in a manual car, an automatic car may be a better choice. You might find it easier to learn how to drive and pass your driving test.

Is There A Downside To Driving An Automatic Car?

As you can see, automatic cars are more expensive to own, maintain and run. Because of this, automatic driving lessons tend to be more expensive than manual lessons. Another downside of learning to drive an automatic vehicle is that when you pass your driving test in an automatic, it doesn’t mean you can also drive a manual car. If you pass your driving test in a manual car, your license will permit you to drive both. Passing your driving test in an automatic vehicle may restrict your choices when it comes to renting or buying a car or van in the future. Also, if later you decide you would prefer to drive manual cars, then you’ll need to take another driving test. The pass rates for automatic cars are typically lower than those for manual cars. Don’t let this discourage you though, as thousands of learners pass the driving test in automatic vehicles every year.
