DRIVING LESSONS

CHICHESTER & SURROUNDING AREAS

I am a very calm, patient and reliable, independent and fully qualified DSA Grade 5 Approved Driving Instructor with a pass rate which is consistently higher than the national average.  I hold the ROSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) Gold Grade for Advanced Driving and am their area examiner for West Sussex. 

Lessons take place in a brand new, air-conditioned Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback 1.8 fitted with dual controls and anti-lock brakes.  Its fully adjustable seat and steering wheel means it is suitable for pupils of any height.

RINGING AROUND?

Six questions to ask driving schools:

-   Will I be taught by a fully qualified instructor or a trainee?  (Tip: trainees will be displaying a pink trainee instructor licence on their windscreen)

-   What grade did the instructor achieve on their last DSA check test and when was it taken?  (Tip: grade 5 and 6 are best - and the more recent the check test, the more reliable the grading)

-  What is the instructor's current pass rate for a) all tests; b) first-time tests?  (Tip: national pass rate is currently approximately 43%)

-  What other qualifications does the instructor hold? (Tip:  make sure it's a bona fide qualification)

-  What car is used and how old is it?  (Tip:  you want to be learning to drive in a reliable, easily-handled modern vehicle)

-  Will I be asked to pay extra to use the car for my driving test?  (Tip:  charges vary and you could be asked for up to £50 - pupils who've been learning with me will pay usual lesson rates for their test)
