When you take driving lessons with on board training driving instructors, we expect them to complete assessment sheets and a progress report for each of your lessons as recommended by the Driving Standards Agency. Where time permits, several mock tests should also be carried out before you attend for your driving test. This is all valuable to your learning and progress & is a service not given by many other driving schools. In fact a few local schools try to copy what we do!
Recently we had a 70 year old lady passing her driving test in Hamilton in a manual car. Before starting with on board training her previous driving instructor suggested she should try an automatic car or even give up!
