You can start learning to drive a car on public roads from the age of 17 if you hold a provisional driving licence. You can apply for your provisional licence when you are 15 years and 9 months old.
Pro Pass offers young people between age 14 to 17 an opportunity to build driving skills and experience prior to their 17 birthday. These sessions are conducted in a safe off-road environment. Please contact us for more information.
Yes – you can take practical lessons while preparing for your theory test. In fact, taking driving lessons whilst studying for the theory test is generally beneficial to the learning process.
Generally, you can pass a driving test in an automatic vehicle in less time than in a vehicle with manual transmission. This is primarily due to the fact that there is no clutch control required in an automatic. Also, if you have mobility issues, an automatic car can be a lot easier and more comfortable to drive.
There are many benefits to choosing manual lessons, such as having more control, the ability to drive a wide range of makes and models that only come with manual transmission, and, in some cases, greater fuel efficiency.
Another point to remember, is that if you pass your test in an automatic car you will be restricted to driving automatic vehicles only. You can upgrade your licence to driving a manual vehicle at a later stage.
Manual and automatic lessons are the same price with Pro Pass Driving and if you are still unsure which one is best for you then we would be more than happy to discuss it with you.
This is purely down to individual choice and financial circumstances. Best practice is to ensure continuity of driving lessons e.g. 2 hours per week. Ongoing progress will be regularly discussed with your driving instructor.
