Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to the most common questions about learning to drive with Scotties Driving School in Basildon and surrounding areas.
Do you provide driving lessons in other areas besides Basildon
Yes, we serve extensive areas across Essex and Suffolk. We also provide Driving Lessons in Chelmsford and Driving Lessons in Great Yarmouth, offering both manual and automatic instruction throughout our established network.
Will learning in an automatic restrict my driving options?
An automatic licence allows you to drive automatic vehicles only, but with increasing numbers of automatic and electric cars available, this limitation is becoming less significant. Many students choose automatic lessons for easier learning and reduced stress.
Are automatic driving tests different from manual tests?
The test format remains identical, but automatic tests often feel less stressful as students can focus on observation, mirrors, and positioning without gear-changing concerns. This frequently leads to more confident test performance and higher pass rates.
How long are the driving lessons?
Driving lessons can be booked for 1 Hour, 1 ½ Hours or 2 hours with 2 hour lessons being the norm (and most productive) lesson duration (Can be booked either one two hour lesson or two one hour lessons). Two hour driving lessons allow the pupil adequate practice time around the test areas and boost the learning process.
How many lessons will I need?
This really depends on several factors. The official DVSA answer is 40 to 60 hours this can be a bit misleading. Few people pass in less than 40 hours unless they have their own car and practise with family or friends. It also depends on your ability to retain the information being taught. Age and circumstances also play a great role in the ability to learn. The most important factor though is your willingness to learn to become a safe driver.
