I moved to a new city in August and was 3 months into looking for an instructor! I was almost giving up at hat point thinking it’s not meant to be… until I read about rated driving app and downloaded it! A day and assigned me a brilliant driving instructor in my city, who I have already booked my test with and enjoy doing lessons! Definitely recommend!

This App is so much better than ringing instructors up and constantly being in their case. They take all the hassle and find you someone who can work with your availability. Definitely recommend 👌 and the in app payment is lot better as you can book lessons as and when you want to with your instructor.

Guide to driving lessons in Westgate-on-Sea

Driving lessons in Westgate-on-Sea can be a great way for new drivers to gain the skills and confidence they need to pass their driving test and become safe, responsible drivers on the road. In this guide, we will provide an overview of what learner drivers can expect when taking driving lessons in Westgate-on-Sea, including information about the local driving test centres.

First and foremost, it’s important to note that taking driving lessons with a qualified instructor is essential for any learner driver. Not only do driving instructors have the knowledge and experience necessary to teach new drivers the skills they need to pass their test, but they also provide a safe, controlled environment in which to practice driving.

During driving lessons, learners can expect to be taught the basics of driving, such as how to control the vehicle, how to use the pedals, and how to make turns and navigate different types of roads. As learners progress, they will learn more advanced skills, such as how to parallel park, how to drive on the motorway, and how to handle different weather and road conditions.

In addition to learning the practical skills of driving, learners will also be taught the rules of the road and the importance of road safety. This will include information about traffic signs and signals, as well as the importance of obeying speed limits and other traffic laws.

Once learners have completed their driving lessons and feel confident behind the wheel, they will need to take their driving test. In Westgate-on-Sea, there are two local driving test centres where learners can take their test:

  • The Thanet Driving Test Centre is located on Thanet Road in Westgate-on-Sea. This test centre offers both practical and theory tests, and is open Monday to Friday, with some availability on Saturdays.

  • The Kent Test Centre is located on Newington Road in Ramsgate. This test centre also offers both practical and theory tests and is open Monday to Friday, with some availability on Saturdays.

It’s important to note that driving test centres can have long waiting lists, so it’s a good idea to book your test well in advance. It’s also worth noting that you must pass the theory test before you can take the practical test.

Overall, taking driving lessons in Westgate-on-Sea can be a great way for new drivers to gain the skills and confidence they need to pass their driving test and become safe, responsible drivers on the road. With the right training and practice, learners can expect to be prepared for their test and ready to hit the road.

Driving lessons in Westgate-on-Sea FAQ's

Is it better to have 2 hour driving lessons?

For most people learning to drive, 2 hour lessons are more beneficial than 1 hour lessons. There are many reasons for this which include: Reduced learning time overall (can reduce by a third) Reduced costs to the learner (2 hour sessions cost less as they are seen as getting a deal). Speak to your instructor in the Rated Driving app and they will do their best to cater to your requirements.

Is it quicker to pass in an automatic?

Learning in an automatic car has it benefits. The main one that learners like is the fact they do not need to master the clutch that comes in manual cars. As such, generally, there is less to learner so some learners may find it quicker to pass their driving test. And the quicker you pass your test, the less money you'll spend on driving lessons. Please note that automatic driving lessons normally cost more than manual driving lessons.

How many lessons does it take to drive?

According to the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) learner drivers need on average 44 hours of professional driving lessons to pass their driving test. To speed up learning, learners can always practice with a family member providing they are the correct age, the car is safe and legal to use and you have the correct car insurance.

Should I learn to drive in a manual or an automatic car?

It's a tough one. Many learners like to take their driving lessons in a manual car as they get the benefit of being able to driving manual and automatic cars, where as having an automatic driving licence means that you will only be allowed to drive automatic cars.

There is change coming though. As we turn to a greener future, electric cars are now becoming popular as they are far more friendly to the environment with the added bonus of them being automatic. The UK Government has said that all combustion engine cars will not be allowed to be sold from 2030 so learning automatic is actually not a bad choice.

Automatic driving lessons generally cost more than manual lessons but learners tend to need less lessons so the cost balances out by the time you pass your driving test.

Is an intensive driving course a good idea?

An intensive driving course can save you time and money as you might need fewer hours' training. There are some downsides though. With normal hourly driving lessons you get to experience many different driving and weather conditions which will allow you to learn how to drive and build confidence in all circumstances.

Normally, an intensive course is far more expensive than hourly lessons as you will be packing in all your lessons into 7-14 day window and taking your driving test at the end. It's a lot of pressure and not for the faint hearted but if you are a quick learner and keen to pass fast, intensive driving lessons could be the right path for you.
