Deciding on a driving instructor in Morecambe

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

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

Which is why we've laid out 4 steps to finding a quality driving instructor in Morecambe

1. Compare reviews

Reading reviews is a great way to anticipate what your experience will be like with the driving schools in Morecambe. Be sure to select your review sites carefully - some can be a bit dodgy. Make sure you are reading reviews from legitimate customers.

2. Read the terms and conditions

Let's face it - most of us never read the terms and conditions but it’s important that you do read them carefully when booking lessons. Local driving schools can often have hidden policies especially around expiry dates for unused driving lessons so 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 Morecambecan 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 Morecambewon’t tell you their waiting times upfront unless you ask directly. So again, don’t get caught out!

Local driving test centres

When the time is right, you’ll need to choose a driving test centre. Your driving instructor in Morecambe will advise on the whole test centre experience to make sure you're setup to pass.

Top driving test tips from instructors in Morecambe

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

1. Brush up on rural road driving

Our instructors in Morecambe 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.

Extra practice on country road driving will help you to set the right speed for the journey.

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 or automatic lessons?

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.Flexibility is the main plus point with learning in a manual.

Cost is also another factor as manual instructors tend to be more common and therefore lessons can be cheaper.A manual offers the driver a bit more control over the vehicle - especially on windy rural roads where a gear change can help you navigate twists, turns and hill climbs more effectively.

Taking automatics driving lessons may allow you to pass faster as you have less to learn such as clutch control.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 Morecambes busy streets, you may find an automatic easier.

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