Deciding on a driving instructor in Llanelli

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 Llanelli

1. Have a look at reviews online

Reading online reviews of the instructors in the local area is pretty much the number one way to understand what to expect from the nearby driving schools in Llanelli. We'd recommend always looking at independent reviews collated by real customers!

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. Make sure you can switch instructors

Check that your driving school in Llanellican 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 Llanelliwill stay quiet about tier waiting times so be sure to ask them before booking.

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 driving instructor in Llanelli will advise on the whole test centre experience to make sure you're setup to pass.

Top tips from instructors in Llanelli

Driving instructors in Llanelli have shared thier insider tips for passing your test.

1. Brush up on rural road driving

Our instructors in Llanelli 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.

Manual and automatic: which is best?

Before you step foot inside an instructors car you have to decide 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.Flexibility is the main plus point with learning in a manual.

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. 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 Llanellis busy roads, an automatic may be for you.

There are pros and cons to both, so it's worth spending some time to research and decide before you start.
