Pelican Driving SchoolWhy choose Pelican Driving School for your driving lessons?

Pelican Driving School operates a regional network of male and female instructors. All have graduated from our Instructor Training Course ensuring driving lessons of a high level of competency and a uniform standard. Emphasis has been placed on developing their 'people' and 'communication' skills in addition to driving ability.

Our instructors take pride in the work they do and are noted for their patience and friendly yet professional disposition. Their aim in the lessons is to help you pass your driving test in a time frame that is right for you and at a reasonable cost. It is equally important to them that you become a safe and competent driver in the process. We find this is more easily achieved in a relaxed and stress free driving environment, so for your comfort and safety we operate a 'no smoking' policy during the driving lessons.

How do I get started ?

It is essential that you have a provisional licence before you can have driving lessons and drive on the road. If you do not have a provisional licence then you need to apply for one. An application form can be obtained free from any post office by asking for a form D1. You can find more information on licences and prices by visiting the DVLA web site.

When you receive your provisional licence you are able to start the driving lessons. Initially you will be classified as a learner driver and will be required to pass a driving test to become a qualified driver.

You can start your driving lessons whilst studying for the theory test, but you must first pass the theory test before you can apply for the practical test. You can take a 'mock theory' test at any time by visiting the Driving Standards Agency web site.

How long will it take ?

The first step in learning to drive is to book an initial driving lesson. The number of further driving lessons will vary from person to person and will depend on how quickly you learn. Most driving lessons are for one hour although two hour lessons may be required if time is at a premium.

It is advisable to allow a reasonable length of time to learn to drive and not to rush. Driving is a serious business. People need time to be taught properly and reflect on any training they receive. This way they become better drivers and are more likely to pass the driving test first time. We take pride in maintaining our high level of pass rates and will not present you for testing unless we are confident that you have achieved an acceptable standard during your driving lessons.

We believe that the choice of vehicle plays an important part in the driving lesson and we have a variety of modern vehicles available, all with dual controls.

Who do I need to contact ?

Discounts for block booking driving lessons, students and for the unemployed are available. For further information please contact our office at the above freephone number or see our full contact details.
