When booking driving lessons it is important to get value for money.
Driving lessons are not cheap. The price of driving lessons is likely to continue to increase for the forseeable future due to rises in the price of fuel and also the proposals to change the driving test.
Cheap driving lessons. Exactly what is this? Is it the individual cost of a driving lesson or is it the overall cost of learning to drive for the lowest price? These are questions that need to be answered.
2Pass.eu Driving School offer probably the lowest priced driving lessons in this area provided we are represented here.
We achieve this by offering a range of services additional to actual driving lessons. Hazard perception and theory training, help and information with subjects such as insurance, buying a car etc.
We, 2Pass.eu Driving School, are associated with other businesses and we share our costs which helps to reduce our overheads. We pass these savings on to you in a number of ways. Cheap driving lessons is one way we can help but there are others which you will find out about when you choose us to help you learn to drive.
Passing a driving test in Great Britain is an achievement but it comes at a cost. The cost is the time it takes you learn the required skills and the amount of money you pay during the learning process. The time and cost elements can be reduced by choosing a driving school that has experienced and fully qualified driving instructors, backed up by a company that offers more than just the driving lessons.
Driving Instructors that are associated with 2Pass.eu Driving School meet all of the above requirements. We are all approved driving instructors. The Driving Standards Agency has registered us as fully qualified.
One to one driving tuition is, in my opinion, the most efficient method of learning to drive and also the best value for money.
Through our affiliation with GMTS Motorcycle Training we can get you started on a motorbike from the age of 16 and progress you through to driving a car from the age of 17.
Some driving schools operate a system whereby one pupil drives whilst others sit in the rear seats observing. During the lesson, driver’s alternate so each learner driver gets a go at driving. Clearly this is not one to one driving tuition and you will not be getting value for money.
Once you have passed the theory test the next challenge is the practical test. Repetition is the key. On test day you’ll really appreciate and benefit from your hard work. Practise makes perfect so practice hard, go over all the skills, repeat your manoeuvres time and again.
There is no substitute for experience and you will not get proper experience by observing someone else driving. Practice makes perfect so ensure that when you are looking for a Driving School that the one you choose does indeed offer one to one driving tuition.
According to http://www.learnerdriver.co.uk/ the number of trainee driving instructors that are successful in qualifying in becoming an Approved Driving Instructor, registered with the Driving Standards Agency, is only 18%.
Put another way, 82 out of every 100 that train to become a driving instructor fail! You really do not want to be trained by a trainee! Statistics can be manipulated but the harsh fact is that most people who set out to become driving instructors do not succeed!

Driving Skill:- Are your steering actions safe, smooth and accurate, and do you pass the wheel through your hands? Steering is an important consideration when learning to drive, aim to always keep your left hand to the left of the steering wheel and your right hand to the right. In this way your control of the steering wheel is maximised.
Syllabus element:- Bay Parking – you must demonstrate effective all round observation and show consideration to other road users when parking your vehicle.
Control your vehicle making proper use of clutch (if fitted), accelerator, brakes and steering. Allow for clearance as your vehicle is turning, the front will swing out to the left or right depending on the direction of travel.
Keep a special look out for cyclists and pedestrians who may pass close to the front of your vehicle.
