Your First Driving Lesson
Embarking on your first driving lesson is an exciting step, and we’re here to make sure it’s a smooth and enjoyable experience.
Here’s everything you need to know to prepare for a fantastic start!
How to Prepare for Your First Driving Lesson:
Bring Your Provisional Driving License: It’s essential to have your provisional driving license with you, as your instructor will need to see it before you can start your lesson. This ensures that you’re all set for your driving journey.
Dress for Comfort and Success: Wear comfortable, flat-soled shoes to ensure you have the best control over the pedals. Dressing appropriately will help you feel more at ease and focused during your lesson.
Remember Your Glasses: If you wear corrective lenses, bring them along. Your instructor may ask you to read a vehicle registration plate from a distance to ensure your eyesight meets the necessary standards.
What to Expect During Your First Driving Lesson:
Your initial lesson is designed to be informative and supportive. Here’s what you can look forward to:
Introduction to the Car: Your instructor will start by driving the vehicle to a quiet, safe location. This allows you to get comfortable with the car's controls without the stress of busy roads.
Learning the Basics: You’ll get a comprehensive introduction to the car’s controls, including levers, buttons, and lights. Your instructor will explain how and when to use these features to ensure you have a solid foundation.
Building Confidence: The focus of your first lesson is to build your confidence and comfort behind the wheel. Don’t hesitate to ask questions or seek clarification on anything you’re unsure about.
We’re committed to providing you with a positive and encouraging start to your driving journey. If you have any questions or need assistance, our friendly instructors are here to help.

What We Do...
A Locations Driving School instructor will guide you through your initial driving lesson. Learning to drive can be a daunting experience for any new driver, especially the first time behind the wheel. Our instructors will familiarise you with all the car's controls and how to begin driving.
Female Driving Instructors
All Locations Driving School instructors are trained to the highest standards. However, we understand the importance of feeling comfortable while learning to drive. If you prefer a female driving instructor, we can accommodate this request to help you feel at ease during your lessons.
Automatic Driving Lessons
For many individuals, learning to drive can be a stressful experience due to the complexities of clutch control and gear changes. Opting for automatic driving lessons and learning to drive an automatic vehicle can be an excellent choice for those who find manual transmission challenging or are particularly anxious about driving.
