PASSS 2 DRIVE Pricing Policy

I pride myself on competitive prices, without offering any cheap or silly gimmicks.

For example, other driving schools may offer you deals such as 10 lessons for £99 or 5 lessons for £50 or even 5 lessons for £25. However, for the vast majority of the deal, you will spend a lot of time sat at the side of the road or even watching the instructor driving around. Also, they may not be fully qualified driving instructors and they are advertised as ‘LESSONS’ not ‘HOURS’. This means that ’10 lessons for …’ or ‘5 lessons for…’ could actually be 30-45 minutes in length.

All my lessons are taught in Toyota Auris automatic and manual. To prove that you will be getting the best value for your money please check out my Reviews page to see what learners have said about my lessons and teaching style.

I guarantee you drive the car as much as possible on all lessons. I don’t waste time sitting and talking about it, experience has taught me you learn best by ‘doing’.

    Pass Plus Course

    Ever wandered why it can be so expensive to get car insurance for new drivers?

    It is because after 40-80 hours of driving experience, most people forget they are still inexperienced drivers.

    Obviously the last thing you want to have is an accident, A Pass Plus course enables you to gain confidence and experience after passing your test, including learning how to reduce the risk of accidents. There are a number of insurers that will give you a discount on your insurance premium if you have completed the Pass Plus course. You will receive in car tuition if you take the Pass Plus course with P2D on:

    Refresher Driving Lessons

    Has it been a while since you’ve last driven a car? Or have you just passed but still a little unsure about certain aspects of driving? Perhaps you don’t have the confidence with driving in the night or in bad weather?

    Then this refresher course with P2D is perfect for you!! Refresher Courses at P2D cover a wide range of driving situations which is tailored according to your individual needs and for drivers who:

    • Experience changed to their personal circumstances, placing additional reliance on driving by car

    • Wish to increase there confidence following involvement in an accident

    Motorway Lessons

    At PASSS 2 DRIVE, I understand that Motorway Driving can be a very daunting experience. This can be the case for both new drivers and experienced drivers. Speeds are faster, other drivers behave differently and there are a whole new set of rules and conventions to comply with.

    Getting professional tuition from P2D on motorway driving is the safest way to learn how to drive on a motorway and will ensure that you have the confidence to use these convenient road networks.

    Motorway driving is a two hour course where you are taught the skills needed to drive safely and confidently on the motorway using the appropriate speeds and knowledge needed for safe driving.

    Foreign Language
    Driving Lessons

    There are many people who live and work in the U.K. who don’t speak English as their first language. Therefore learning to drive with an instructor who only speaks your second language can be a bit daunting. However this doesn’t have to be a road block on the way to getting a British Driving Licence, You will need a basic understanding of English to pass the driving test and to read some road signs.

    As well as teaching in English I am able to offer driving lessons in the following languages:

    • Hindi

    Driving Test Information

    PASSS 2 DRIVE Covid 19 Announcement

    To all my current pupils and future pupils, we will have to follow a new code of practice for the lessons in the future when we begin again from 4th July 2020. 

    Before the lesson, I shall try and call or text you as a minimum to confirm that you are fit and well enough to take the lesson. Should you, or any member of your household, social circle, or workplace have any C19 symptoms then I shall need you to tell me asap so we can reschedule the lesson to suit. No short notice fee will be charged for C19 cancellations. 

    Before coming out to the car, would you please wash your hands as prescribed by HMG, with warm soapy water for 20 seconds and please avoid touching where possible anything before leaving home or work. 

    When you get to the car, I shall provide hand sanitiser and ask you a few general health questions before we get into the car. In addition, I shall be taking your temperature with a non-contact thermometer before proceeding further. 

    Windows will always be kept open. Airconditioning will not be used as we need to keep a flow of air from outside and apparently the virus thrives in cooler conditions. 

    Disposable seat and steering wheel covers will be used during lessons which will be changed for each new learner. 

    You will be required to bring with you a face mask that you will use for the duration of the lesson. If you wish you can wear disposable latex gloves. I shall be wearing gloves for the lesson. You will not be able to bring a bottle of drink to the car for consumption on the lesson for the foreseeable future. 

    During the lesson I have always been a great believer in making eye contact as much as possible to help communicate an idea or encouragement, this too has to change and I shall be spending more time looking away from you toward the front of the car and will need you to do the same. 

    When we stop to discuss an issue I shall no longer be able to offer you the sketch/diagram to take home with you but you can take a picture on your phone which we had been moving towards anyway, and if I use my tablet I should be able to email it to you. 

    When we leave the car to discuss an item, eg, Show/Tell under the bonnet or discuss the tyres for example, we shall have to maintain a 1m separation distance. 

    Where possible payments for lessons will be made by BACs transferred before the lesson. 

    Before and after your lesson the car will be cleaned and sanitised as much as is practically possible for all our sakes. I ask that you do not wear short sleeves or shorts/skirts for the lesson as well. 

    Hope you are keeping safe, lots of love to one and all.

    Information about the Theory Test

    At MSM I offer theory test training if you wish to take it in order to pass the first part of the driving test. The Car Theory Test is made up of two parts:

    • The Multiple Choice Part

    • Hazard Perception Part

    The multiple choice part is delivered using a touch screen computer and mouse, the hazard perception part records your responses through the use of a computer mouse button. You need to pass both parts to pass your theory test. If you pass one part and fail the other part you will fail the whole test and you will need to take both parts again

    Multiple Choice Part

    Before the test starts you will be given instructions on how the test works. You can also choose to go through a practise session of the multiple choice questions to get used to the layout of the test. At the end of the practise session the real test will begin. A question and answers option will appear onscreen and you will have to select the correct answer to the question by touching the screen or using the mouse. Some questions may require more than one answer. You can navigate between questions and 'flag' questions that you want to come back to later in the test. You will have 57 minutes to answer 50 questions. The pass mark for the multiple choice part is 43. After the multiple choice part you can choose to have a break of up to three minutes before the hazard perception part starts.

    Hazard Perception Part

    After the break you will then be shown a short tutorial video clip about how the hazard perception part works. The hazard perception part is also delivered on a computer but you respond by clicking a button the mouse. You will be presented with a series of 14 video clips which feature everyday road scenes, in each clip there will be at least one developing hazard but one the clips will feature two developing hazards. To achieve a high score you will need to respond to the developing hazard during the early part of its development. The maximum you can score on each hazard is five. You will not be able to review your answers to the hazard perception test; as on the road, you will only have one chance to respond to the developing hazard. The pass mark for the hazard perception part of the theory is 44 out of 75.

    Information about the Practical Test

    The driving test consists of tests of eyesight, safety questions and driving technique. The test will last for 35 to 45 minutes. You must pass all parts of the test at the same time.

    The Eyesight Test

    You must be able to read in good daylight (with the aid of glasses or contact lenses if worn), a motor vehicle registration mark containing letters and figures. If you do not pass the eyesight test, you will not be allowed to take the driving test. The test will be marked as a fail. If you do not feel you have adequate vision to pass this part of the test you can see your optician for help.

    Show Me Tell Me Questions

    After the eyesight test the examiner will ask you two safety questions. The questions will be chosen from the following list:

    • Tyres, Steering, Brakes, Lights, Direction Indicators, Audible Warning Device and the Liquids Used In The Braking System, Steering System, Engine or elsewhere in the vehicle as a Coolant, Lubricant, Cleaner or otherwise

    Please read the Show Me Tell Q&A in the next section on this page for detailed information about this part.

    The Practical Test

    After the safety questions you will then be examined on your general driving and on reversing exercises. The reversing exercises will be chosen from:

    • Reversing around a corner

    • Reverse Parking

    • Turn in the Road

    You may also be asked to carry out an Emergency Stop exercise.

    During the driving test the examiner will give you directions which you should follow. Test Routes are designed to be as uniform as possible and will include a range of typical road and traffic conditions.

    A section of the driving will be tested on independent driving. During this part of the test the you will be asked to drive for approximately 10 minutes either following a series of directions or by following traffic signs, or a combination of both. If required the examiner may show the pupil a simple diagram of the intended route to follow.

    Throughout the test you should drive in the way I have taught you. If you make a mistake don't worry about it, it might be a less serious driving fault and may not collect your result. The examiner will be looking for an overall safe standard of driving.

    You can make up 15 driving faults and still pass the test. However if you commit one serious or dangerous fault you will fail the test. If at any time your examiner considers you to be a danger to other road users your test will be stopped. You are allowed to take someone with you on the test, this person must be over 16 years old and cannot take part in the test.

    If You Pass

    If you pass and have had your photo card driving licence issued after 1st March 2004 the examiner will ask you if you want your full driving licence issued to you automatically. If you want this service, the examiner will take your old licence from you, scan the details and send them automatically to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). You will then be given a pass certificate to prove you passed your test. DVLA will then send you your new full licence by post with four weeks of you passing your practical test. If you pass your test but do not want to use the automatic service, or have a licence issued before 1st March 2004, you will be given a pass certificate by the examiner. On the back of the pass certificate it tells you what you need to do next. This involves sending your licence and appropriate fee to DVLA who will then check your application and issue you with a new full licence.

    If You Fail

    Hopefully after the thorough preparation in my driving lessons, you should pass your driving test. However if you fail your test you should ask the examiner for feedback to help prepare for your next test. Your driving report form will also show you where you made any mistakes. You can take another practical test 10 working days later.

    SHOW ME TELL ME QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

    The Show Me Tell Me questions test your knowledge of basic car maintenance and safety. At the start of the practical driving test the Show Me Tell Me questions will begin. The driving test examiner will ask you two questions, one Show Me question and one Tell Me question. Answer any of those two questions incorrectly and you will gain one driving test fault. There are 19 different questions, which can be asked in 18 different combinations. Don't worry if you get a bit confused with the questions as they will all be covered off in my lessons in preparation for your driving test.

    01

    Open the bonnet, identify where you would check the engine coolant level and tell me how you would check the engine has the correct level?

    12

    Show me how you would check the parking brake for excessive wear?

    Apply the brake, when it is fully applied it should secure itself
