Steve Kingham of Kingham’s Driving School is friendly, calm and very patient. You will learn at your own pace, in a way that takes your unique strengths and weaknesses as a driver into account. This provides a relaxing learning environment with absolutely no pressure to perform a certain way.

Our driving instructors Christchurch possess extensive knowledge of the area and the practical driving test routes. Naturally you will have many opportunities to drive on the roads you will be taken on during the final exam.

How many lessons will I need to get licenced?

Our driving instructors in Christchurch are often asked how many lessons are required to pass the practical test. It is hard to give a single answer because people’s abilities greatly differ. Some students possess a greater understanding of driving logic than others, so the results are very varied.

However, the DVSA recommends around 46 hours of training with driving instructors Christchurch as well as private practice. This amount of lessons should be sufficient to gain a good understanding of driving and become a safe road user.

Watching other people behind the wheel can make driving seem very easy. Once you get in the driver’s seat for the first time, however, you will see that there is much to learn. The number of lessons required to pass the test should not be underestimated.

How Many Lessons Per Week?

The most common number of lessons to book with driving instructors Christchurch each week is two. If you are looking to get licenced sooner rather than later, then Kingham’s Driving School also offers intensive driving lessons.

Private Practice Without Our Driving Instructors Christchurch

All road experience is valuable and the more you get before booking your practical test, the better. You need to be aware that the law requires the accompanying driver to be over 21 years old. They will also need to have had a valid driver’s licence for 3 years.

Are You Ready?

You are ready for your test if you are driving independently for extended periods of time without any input from our driving instructors in Christchurch. We will make sure that all of your manoeuvres are smooth and well-learned beforehand.

In the past, our driving instructors Christchurch have been asked for advice on whether a test should be booked early for practice. Our answer to this question is a firm no. This is because of the inconvenience and potential dangers a premature practical test can cause the instructor, the examiner and the general public.

Taxi Driving Lessons

There are many advantages to using automatic driving lessons in Christchurch over traditional clutch pedal courses. One such advantage is that you may require fewer lessons and therefore reduce the cost of your training as a result, depending on your ability. Driving an automatic is also easier and can be less stressful when driving in slow moving traffic. To find out more about how choosing our automatic driving lessons can benefit you, do not hesitate to get in touch today.

What our students say

Studies have shown that one in five new drivers who have recently passed their test will be involved in a road accident before they complete 250 miles of independent driving. This is due to inefficient traditional teaching methods that focus on passing the test and nothing else.

At Kingham’s Driving School, we take a different approach. We will highlight the specific areas of weakness and understand what is causing them. Our goal is to make you a safe road user for life rather than fixating on just getting you licenced as soon as possible.

You will be able to read through more positive feedback on our dedicated page of testimonials. We greatly value comments from our students and it makes us very happy that a lot of them later go on to recommend our driving instructors Christchurch to their friends and family members.

I’m very happy to add to these driving school testimonials as I had a great time learning to drive with Steve. I’d never driven anything before, yet he was able to start from the absolute basics and put me at ease. If I had a really specific question about the Highway Code or even the mechanics and engineering of the car, Steve was able to answer. It’s been both fun and informative and I didn’t encounter any situation I wasn’t prepared for during the exam. I passed first time! I highly recommend Kingham’s Driving School in Bournemouth.” –Dario Montez Rodriguez
