braking system, and powered steering, all the modcons you would expect
from a new car. Most of our cars are less than two years old, contributing
to an all round better driving experience. We have a different array of
cars, because we have found pupils prefer a choice, also some pupils like
to learn in a car they intend to get after they pass their practical driving
test. Q: Can I have more than one lesson a week? Yes, we will try and fit you in for as many driving lessons as you require in a week.

Are the instructors friendly, and patient? Yes, it is one of the main qualities we look for, and insist upon before
recruiting a new driving instructor. We not only want you to learn to
drive quickly, and safely, we want you to enjoy your driving lessons. Q: Do you offer a guaranteed pass? A: I know some driving schools offer this, but basically no I can't guarantee you’re going to pass your driving test, because anything can happen on the day of your driving test,nerves can be a factor, and no matter how good we train you ultimately it’s down to you. To guarantee someone will pass their test opens up the system to abuse, some driving schools may inflate their driving lesson prices to higher than normal to cover the cost of a retest in case you fail, some may give you more lessons than you need to make sure you pass, at your expense. Personally Access Driving Tuition prefers to give you the right amount of driving lessons to do the job at the right price. Q: How many driving lessons will I need? A: I am asked this question more than any other, and it is always the hardest one to answer. How many driving lessons you will need depends on many factors, your experience, age, working background, and even your attitude. I have known people only take 15 driving lessons, and then some people take 50 driving lessons. The Driving Vehicles Standards Agency, which is the governing body that conducts the driving test say it is about 40 hours for a new driver, but as I said there are a lot of factors which could reduce this number. At Access Driving Tuition we will try to get you to reach driving test standard in the minimum amount of driving lessons as possible, this not only reduces your tuition fees, but it also maintains Access Driving Tuition's high reputation.
