How to decide which driving instructor is best for you in Bangor

When looking for a driving school; you need someone who:

• Builds your driving ability
• Makes learning to drive enjoyable
• Is affordable

So here are 4 simple steps to make sure you find a top driving instructor in Bangor

1. Compare reviews

Reading reviews is a great way to anticipate what your experience will be like with the driving schools in Bangor. Just make sure that you read reviews collated by independent sources, like Google reviews.

2. Beware of terms and conditions

If you’re like most people, the chances are you usually tick the box to say you’ve read the terms and conditions even if you haven’t. But in this scenario, it’s important that you read them carefully. Some driving schools have hidden policies, like making your driving lessons expire if you don’t use them all within a short timeframe. Don’t get caught out!

3. Check that you can switch instructors

You don’t want to be stuck learning with someone you don’t get on with. So, the safest thing is to check that your driving school in Bangorcan pair you up with a new instructor easily if you decide you want to swap.

4. Avoid long waiting times

The last thing you want is to book your driving lessons and then find out that you can’t get started for another few weeks! Many driving schools in Bangorwon’t tell you their waiting times upfront unless you ask directly. So again, don’t get caught out!

Test tips from driving instructors in Bangor

Driving instructors in Bangor have let us in on their secrets for passing the driving test first time in the area.

1. Brush up on rural road driving

Our instructors in Bangor have highlighted rural roads as a tricky ""one to watch"" as you’re allowed to drive at the national speed limit, but sometimes that’s not the appropriate speed for the conditions.

Take extra time to practise judging a sensible speed when on a country road.

2. Drive defensively

When you’re driving in urban settings you need to be aware that not all drivers will drive well, or even follow the highway code! Make sure that you anticipate the behaviour of other drivers and adapt your own driving accordingly.

3. Directions aren’t the be all and end all.

You’ll receive directions from both the examiner and a sat nav at different points in your driving test. If you realise you’re in the wrong lane at the last minute, it might be dangerous to correct yourself. If that’s the case, it’s fine to make a wrong turn - it’s more important to drive safely than to follow directions accurately, and our local driving instructors say that you’re unlikely to be penalised.

Manual and automatic: which is best?

Are you ready to learn to drive? The first step is to choose between manual and automatic driving lessons.

With an automatic licence, you’re qualified to drive automatic cars, whereas with a manual driving licence, you’re qualified to drive both manuals and automatics. This flexibility can be handy when buying a car.

Cost is also another factor as manual instructors tend to be more common and therefore lessons can be cheaper.Plus, driving a manual car gives you a greater sense of control, which many people prefer in rural areas or on longer-distance journeys along motorways and dual carriageways.

Automatic cars on the other hand are more straightforward to begin with as you don't need to worry about gear changes at all.On top of this, the lack of a clutch pedal makes automatic cars easier to drive in heavy traffic, so it you’re going to be getting a car to run you around Bangors busy streets, you may find an automatic easier.

Both transmissions come with their pros and cons, so think carefully before making your decision!
