Manual driving lessons (UB3, UB4 & UB5)
Manual candidates at Yeading passed 53.1% of 4,702 tests in 2025/26. Clutch and hill work starts on Harlington High Street before the Ossie Garvin spiral roundabout, and a manual pass licenses you for both gearboxes.
Automatic costs the same £38/hr, or £35.90/hr across 40 hours. With no clutch on the Bulls Bridge roundabout approaches, more attention goes on mirrors and lanes. Yeading automatic candidates passed 51.9% of 2,033 tests.
A Yeading date already in the diary? Six to twelve hours a week around Hayes Town, Kingshill and Harlington, finishing with mock drives out of Willow Tree Lane.
Full licence holders can book two-hour refreshers or 6-module Pass Plus, taking in M4 Junction 3 at Cranford Parkway, the A312 Hayes Bypass and some driving after dark.
