Why do you need a driving instructor?

It’s really important to learn how to drive safely right from the beginning – bad habits are hard to break! Driving instructors are specially trained to teach you what you need to know to be safe on the road and pass your test. They have lots of experience and knowledge about driving, which they’ll use to help you become a confident, safe driver.

Finding an instructor

If you have friends or relatives who’ve learnt to drive recently, ask them if they would recommend their instructor.

You could also try searching online or using a local business directory.
The GOV.UK site has a link to an online tool for finding your nearest driving instructors.

It’s important to make sure your instructor is right for you. Try to choose an instructor who

has a good reputation
is reliable and punctual
has a car that suits you.

If you start your lessons and find you don’t like your driving instructor, look for a new one: it’s important that you get on well with whoever is teaching you to drive.
