If you are about to start learning to drive, you will obviously be looking at local driving schools, and with so many companies, all professing to be the best in the business, it can be confusing knowing which one to choose. In order to help you make the right choices, here are some of the key elements that make up a successful driving school.
- Top Quality Cars – Obviously, you don’t want to learn to drive in a sub-standard vehicle, and the best driving school in Birmingham will have almost new vehicles, each fitted with essential dual controls, which allow the instructor to control the car, should it be necessary.
- Manual Gear Shift Vehicles – If you take your driving test in the UK in a car with an automatic gearbox, then you will only be allowed to drive automatic cars, so for that reason, you should learn and take your test in a manual gearbox car, which will allow you to drive both types of vehicles once you have passed the test.
- Experienced Instructors – It isn’t ideal being taught how to drive by a novice instructor, so make sure the instructor has at least 3 years of hands-on experience preparing people for their driving test.
- Affordability – Some driving schools charge more than others, and for that reason, you should check two or three local schools and compare prices. This can easily be done online, which saves you both time and money.
It is worth noting the driving school’s success rate, which would be the number of students who passed from a given number of applicants, and the higher the number, the better the chances of a pass.
