3How many driving lessons do I need?
Many factors such as length of lessons, regularity and even the time of day can affect how many lessons a student will take to pass, not to mention college work and work commitments. However, the DSA (Driving Standards Agency) recommend 45 hours with a driving instructor and 22 hours with parents. We find on average our students pass in around 35-45 hours in total.
4Do i need to pay UP FRONT for a 10+ lessons to get my discount?
No, of course not unlike most driving schools we are so sure that you will enjoy learning with Totally Driving that we offer our complete discount off the 1st hour. This means you won't have to pay for 10/15 hours upfront to receive a discount and you won't be fixed in to a driving school before trying it out.
5I am very nervous about driving, do you specialise in this?
You're not alone, almost every student we teach is in someway nervous about the prospect of driving. It’s a large and somewhat scary hurdle to cross but with professional tuition and bespoke lessons all starting in roads to match your level of experience, the nerves are often short lived and soon replaced with a more confident outlook.
