but it does not stop you getting prepared.

It is important to learn safe driving practice from the beginning of your driving career because bad habits are hard to break.
It is unlikely that anyone except an approved driving instructor (ADI) would have the experience, knowledge and training to teach you properly.
Learning safe driving habits from the start will improve the safety of yourself and other road users.
Learn skills that will improve throughout your driving life, not skills required just to pass the test!
Time 2 Pass will get you off to the best start.
Learning to drive in a Ford Fiesta fitted with dual controls, we will ensure you are in safe hands, with proper control and in a safe and relaxed enviroment. After all teaching people to drive is what we do best!
