Hinckley Driving Instructor
Hello, I am Steve Armstrong-Smith, a DVSA Grade ‘A’ qualified ADI (Approved Driving Instructor) who is fully DBS (CRB) checked.
My lessons are conducted in a professional, friendly, relaxed manner with a little humour at times, as I find this helps the learning process.
Pass Your Driving Test
My aim is to provide tuition that promotes ‘safe driving for life‘ and not to just pass a test. Driver training is available to all levels from beginner, partially trained to fully trained, including those requiring motorway tuition. You will have full use of a modern air conditioned vehicle that is fitted with dual controls for the duration of your training.
Hinckley Driving Lessons
I am based in Hinckley and I cover the surrounding areas including Burbage, Barwell and Nuneaton. Prices start from £25 so if you are looking for lessons then please give me a call, you won’t be disappointed.
Say Goodbye To The Learner Plates
When you first get into a car on the driver’s side, it is the beginning of an adventure and perhaps your first taste of freedom. Of course the prospect may appear daunting to you, but your apprehension will turn to enjoyment once we begin the training..
Pass The Theory Test First..
TIME:
The test can last between 75 and 90 mins. At the end of it you are presented with your results.
PART ONE:
Multiple choice questions with 4 to 6 options. 50 questions asked with 57 minutes available to answer. 43 correct answers are required to pass this section.
Part Two:
The Hazard Perception Test consists of 14 video clips lasting approximately 1 minute each. These clips will offer 15 developing hazards to recognise, one clip will have 2 hazards. There are a maximum of 5 marks per hazard, so 75 marks available in total. A minimum of 44 marks are required to pass this section.
Then Pass Your Practical..
Relaxed & Ready
On test day I will arrive to collect you an hour prior to your test time. After some driving and a little revision we will arrive on time, relaxed and ready for the test.
Car You'rE Used To
Normally you will take the test in my car- you are used to it and it passes the criteria for a qualified car.
Initial Tests
Once you leave the test centre you will be required to pass an eyesight test. The examiner will ask you to read a car number plate from approximately 20 metres away. The test will not go ahead if you are unable to do this. You will then go to the car where you will be asked to answer 1 ‘Tell me’ question from a set of 14 that are available. During the actual test you will be asked to use 1 of 7 ancillary controls whilst driving the vehicle.
Testimonials
'I started learning to drive with Steve after already having a negative experience with driving lessons and having failed my first test. Steve completely built back up my confidence and made me look forwards to driving lessons in which i hadn't felt previously. Steve taught me everything i needed to know for the test and i passed my test with just 3 minors! However more importantly he taught me how to drive safely for life. I also had a motorway lesson after passing my test which was very useful! I can't thank Steve enough and would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn to drive and enjoy the experience.'
Georgia Birch
Driving with Steve was an excellent opportunity for me and I thouroughly enjoyed every lesson. Everything was thought through properly, he was well organised and he explained the procedures very effectively. He was very patient, helpful and it was a pleasure to have been taught by him. I would recommend him to anyone. Very memorable experience.
Gemma Hicks
Steve, made the whole process fun and enjoyable which made it even easier to learn. Clear and concise tuition ensured that there was maximum time spent driving. Any problems or issues for example, with confidence or over a specific aspect of driving were addressed immediately. He recognised any weaknesses and altered the lessons in order to benefit me. Without a fun instructor like Steve, my confidence wouldn't have grown and I would still feel nervous behind the wheel. It was thanks to Steve's methods and application that gave me a life skill and an enjoyable experience. Every lesson was fun and a lot of other driving schools miss that out. I am very grateful to Steve's unique teaching method which suits every individual.
Jake Manwaring
Now that I have passed my driving test I am really happy that I trained with Steve. I switched to Steve after originally finding that the previous driving school I went with gave insufficient teaching to reach a test standard. Steve had a wide range of teaching methods and never over-complicated manoeuvres, which meant that I could carry them out safely and with ease- this really appealed to me as I could become confident with all aspects of my driving. I also found that Steve did not just teach me to pass my test, but also to drive safely and efficiently for life. I found the additional teaching in hazard awareness and fuel economy to be very helpful, and I am definitely going to be using what has been taught to me when driving independently. Overall I am very happy to have trained with Steve and will be recommending him to friends.
