Driving Instructors in Wivenhoe, Colchester: How to Pass Your Test First Time
50% of people will fail their driving test – and it’s a shocking figure.
But when most driving schools in Wivenhoe, Colchester don’t explain what the examiner is actually looking for, it does become more understandable.
What the Driving Examiner Wants to See
The driving examiner is looking for 4 things from your driving. It makes sense to learn what we’re about to show you on your first driving lesson. In fact, it will be taught on every lesson with us.
The examiner needs to see that you are:
-
In control of the car at all times
-
Obeying the Highway Code
-
Spotting hazards – and avoiding them
-
Trying to be a safe driver
If you can do that on all of your driving lessons, you will go into the test being very safe and ready to get your driving licence.
Driving Schools in Wivenhoe, Colchester: How to Save Over £500 on Getting Your Driving Licence
If you do exactly as we say, you can save a lot of money on driving lessons.
First, we’re going to tell you what to do – and then explain why.
What to Do:
-
Follow what we said above on how to pass your driving test first time – that alone will save you around £300
-
Take 2-hour lessons, every 3 or 4 days – this will save you around £300 in driving lessons and another £300 because you won’t need private practice
The Thinking Behind It (Government Statistics)
The DVSA statistics say that the average learner driver takes:
-
47 hours of professional tuition
-
20 hours of private practice
-
2 driving tests
The Problem with Once-a-Week Lessons
The average learner driver also includes people who take one hour per week – and those who skip weeks.
The problem? You forget what you learned.
Just a 15-minute recap at the start of each lesson means you lose 1 hour for every 4 hours spent learning.
What About Private Practice?
If you learn in the way we suggest, you will not need private practice.
If you did private practice over 10 weeks, you could easily spend £300 on:
-
Insurance policies
-
Fuel
-
Wear and tear on the car
The Bottom Line
You can save well over £500 on passing your driving test – just by making sure you have a 2-hour lesson every 3 or 4 days.
Driving Lessons in Wivenhoe, Colchester: How to Get the Best Driving Instructor
To get the best driving lessons in Wivenhoe, Colchester, you need to ask some really good questions.
Normally, learners ask about:
-
💷 Price
-
📊 Pass rate
-
🚗 The car they’ll be driving
But that doesn’t go far enough to help you figure out who is the best.
What You Need – A Bit of Inside Knowledge
Ask these 3 questions:
| Question | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| 1. When did your instructor qualify? | You’ll find that some haven’t qualified yet – they are still trainees. |
| 2. What is your instructor’s grade – and when were they last graded? | All instructors are given a grade: A, B, or fail. Ask what courses they’ve taken since to maintain and improve their level of service. |
| 3. What is your instructor’s first-time pass rate? | The national pass rate is 50% – every 2 driving tests ends in a fail. If they give you a very high answer, ask if that’s a first-time pass rate or a combined rate. |
We’re sure these questions will help you find the best driving instructor in Wivenhoe, Colchester.
Intensive Driving Courses in Wivenhoe, Colchester
Taking an intensive driving course in Wivenhoe, Colchester can be very rewarding.
However, there are many driving schools offering intensive driving lessons – and you may find some unsuitable.
Our Advice
Please do your very best to avoid taking all of your lessons in just one or two weeks.
Statistics show that the pass rate for that approach is very low.
What We Do Instead
We help you stage lessons over a three to four week period. This allows you to pass quickly – but keeps your mind and body fresh.
Just think: 10 hours of lessons a week (say, 2 hours a day) is very achievable. Soon, you’ll have your driving licence.
