Read all lesson FAQsI’ve never driven before. Is that okay?

Can I learn in a manual or automatic car?
Yes. Choose manual lessons to learn clutch control and gear changes, or automatic tuition without manual gear changes. Give Nida your postcode and preference so we can check local instructor availability.
What do I need for my first lesson?
You’ll need a valid UK provisional driving licence for lessons. We’ll confirm the meeting point and anything else to bring when arranging your booking.

Your instructor will discuss your experience, introduce the seat, mirrors and controls, and explain basic checks.
