Best Driving Schools in Coulsdon

All our instructors at DrivethruL are fully licensed Driving Instructors by the DVSA. They are experienced and have knowledge of the local areas. Our Instructors not only prepare you for your practical driving test but place a keen emphasis on safe driving for life! Our aim is to get you to drive with confidence.

If you are a beginner, and have never driven a car before, research from the DVSA (Driving Standards Agency) has shown that on average a minimum of 45 hours tuition with a driving instructor is required to pass your practical test. However, this is only an average. Everyone is different in how quickly they progress. So you may need less or you may need more. After the first couple of lessons, the instructor will give you their professional opinion as to how many driving lessons you will need in order to pass your practical driving test.

Most people take one 2-hour lesson a week but depending in your own circumstances we will do our best to accommodate your request for 1 hour. Though please understand 2 hours gives a better learning experience and will work out cheaper in the long run.

Yes! Our Instructors are able to offer a refresher lesson or course of lessons to individuals who have passed their practical driving test but may be short of confidence or in need of additional tuition in one or more areas. Refresher lessons are also particularly useful to drivers who have not driven for a while or to those who may need some advice or correction of current driving habits.

Pass Plus is a widely recognised scheme that is open to newly qualified drivers. Statistics have shown that newly qualified drivers are more vulnerable than experienced drivers. Pass Plus offers professional instruction, helping new drivers to gain quality experience, become more skilful drivers, develop a positive driving style and reduce their risk of being involved in an accident. Additionally many motor insurance companies offer greatly reduced insurance policies to new drivers who have completed the Pass Plus scheme. All of our Approved Driving Instructors at DrivethruL are registered to offer Pass Plus tuition for those candidates that have successfully passed the practical driving test. There is no exam at the end of the Pass Plus course. The pupil undertakes six modules, each containing a range of relevant topics. When the pupil has attained or exceeded a satisfactory level in each topic of all modules, he/she will have completed the course. The six modules are: Town Driving All-weather Driving Out of Town Driving and Rural Roads Night Driving Dual Carriageways Motorways
