Deciding on a driving school in Rhyl

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

• Builds your confidence
• Makes learning fun
• Won’t charge a fortune!

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

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 Rhyl. Be sure to select your review sites carefully - some can be a bit dodgy. Make sure you are reading reviews from legitimate 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 Rhylcan 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 Rhylwon’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.Your instructor in Rhyl 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.

Top driving test tips from instructors in Rhyl

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

1. Practise driving on rural roads

Our driving instructors in Rhyl 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 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.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.Some drivers prefer the control a manual can give while driving too.

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 Rhyl town centre, you may well prefer an automatic.

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