How much do lessons cost?
£45 an hour. If you pay for 10 hours in advance it’s £420, which saves £30. Evenings and weekends cost the same.
Can I learn in an automatic?
Yes. We teach in both manual and automatic cars. Tell us which you’d like when you get in touch. If you’re not sure, we can talk it through.
Can I book a lesson online?
No. Message, text or call us and we’ll arrange your lessons directly. You don’t pay anything online.
What happens after I get in touch?
David replies, checks we can get to you, and you agree a day and time together. No lesson is booked until you’ve both confirmed it.
What do I need before my first lesson?
A provisional driving licence. You can apply for one on GOV.UK.
How do I know my instructor is qualified?
Anyone who charges for driving lessons must be an approved driving instructor (ADI) or a trainee with a licence. A fully qualified ADI shows a green badge in the windscreen, and a trainee shows a pink one. David is a fully qualified ADI, and you’re welcome to ask to see his badge.
Do I need to pass my theory test first?
No. You can start lessons as soon as you have your provisional licence. You need to pass the theory test before you can book the practical test.
Do you book my driving test for me?
No. Since 12 May 2026 only learners can book and manage their own car driving test, which you do on GOV.UK. Your instructor will help you judge when you’re ready.
What if I need to cancel a lesson?
Please give us at least 24 hours’ notice. With less notice than that, the full lesson fee is charged.
What happens to unused hours if I pass?
If you paid in advance for a block and pass with hours to spare, we refund the money left over.
Do you teach in the evenings and at weekends?
Yes, and it costs the same: £45 an hour at any time.
How do I pay?
You pay your instructor directly. Nothing is paid through this website.
Do you offer intensive courses?
Not at the moment. If that changes, it will be on the Lessons page.
How many lessons will I need?
Everyone is different, so we can’t give a number before you start. Your instructor will tell you how you’re getting on as you go.
Can I learn if I’ve already passed?
Yes. Refresher lessons are for anyone who has passed but wants to get their confidence back, and motorway lessons are open to new drivers too.
Which areas do you cover?
Taunton, Bridgwater, Wellington and Tiverton, plus the surrounding areas. If you’re not sure, send us your postcode and we’ll tell you.
Still have a question?
Message or call us and we’ll get back to you. You don’t pay anything online.
