How to choose a driving school in Crewe

We get that you’re looking for a driving instructor who:

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

For that reason, here are 4 easy steps to make sure you choose the right driving school in Crewe

1. Compare reviews

Reading reviews is a great way to anticipate what your experience will be like with the driving schools in Crewe. 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. Ensure you are able switch instructors

Getting stuck with an instructor you don't get on with can be rough. Check that your driving school in Crewecan sort you out with someone new if you do need to swap. Some schools are too small to allow for this so it's worth checking up front.

4. Do they have long waiting times?

Imagine booking your driving lessons only to find out that you can't start for ages. It can happen. Many driving schools in Crewewon’t tell you their waiting times upfront unless you ask directly. So again, don’t get caught out!

Choosing your test centre

As soon as you're ready to start thinking about your test, you'll need to find a local test centre.A good local instructor in Crewe will give you a hand choosing the test centre that’s right for you, and then introduce you to the routes that could crop up on test day.

Test tips from driving instructors in Crewe

Local driving instructors in Crewe have given us the lowdown on passing the driving test first time.

1. Practise driving on rural roads

Our driving instructors in Crewe say that rural roads can be difficult because usually, you’re permitted to drive on them at the national speed limit, but that’s not always an appropriate speed.

Make sure you practise judging what speed is sensible to drive at on country roads.

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.

Choosing between manual and automatic

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

Manual licence holders are able to drive both manual and automatic cars, however, automatic drivers are stuck with automatic cars only.This gives you more flexibility in the long run.

Manual driving lessons are also cheaper, as there are more manual driving instructors available. Some drivers prefer the control a manual can give while driving too.

That said, automatic cars are easier to get your head around - there’s no clutch to get the hang of! This means you may be able to pass faster by taking automatic driving lessons. Driving in heavy traffic can also be more straightforward as there's no clutch and gear changes to worry about. So if you're after a motor to drive about Crewe town centre, you may well prefer an automatic.

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