Learning to Drive in Tolworth

Learning to drive in Tolworth is a big decision. There are many independent driving instructors and national schools operating in the area. Some learner drivers prefer to pass the theory test before starting the practical lessons. However, most learners in Tolworth take driving lessons at the same time as studying for the theory test.

Choosing a Good driving Instructor in Tolworth

The best method of finding a good driving instructor is to ask friends, colleagues and family members if they can recommend an instructor to you. Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs) can be found using local directories or the DVSA website. Large and well-known schools have instructors coving the Tolworth area. Some things to take into consideration when looking for instructors:

Qualification the Instructor Holds

By law, a driving instructor must display a coloured badge in the windscreen that will be either green or pink. A Green Badge indicates that the instructor has been Approved by the DVSA. A Pink badge indicates that the instructor is still undergoing training but is licenced to teach.

Source reviews/testimonials on driving instructors.

Most independent driving instructors have their own websites. Take a look at the website along with Google reviews and other independent reviews such as reviews.co.uk and Yell.com

Do not “block-book” lessons straight away.

Don’t be tempted by special offers and block book. You may not get on with the instructor. Ask if you can book one lesson before block booking. If you are offered an introductory discount, make sure that you understand the terms and conditions. Something that’s too good to be true usually is not.
