Most of UB1 and UB2 learns week by week. An intensive makes sense when an Allenby Road date is fixed and you are short of hours.
OPTION 1 / MANUAL TUITION · UB1, UB2 & UB6
Manual driving lessons (UB1, UB2 & UB6)
Manual candidates at Southall passed 46.7% of 5,367 tests in 2025/26, five points ahead of automatic. Gear changes through The Broadway bus lanes take patience, and a manual pass covers both car types.
No price difference from manual. Automatic candidates at UB1 2HD passed 41.7% of 3,176; with no clutch to manage, the pedestrian hazards along The Broadway and South Road get your whole attention.
Ask for a female instructor, a gentle pace, or one who teaches the Allenby Road departures and the Bulls Bridge Roundabout regularly. Instructors covering Southall are DVSA-licensed and enhanced DBS-checked.
Southall has its own test centre, so an intensive spends every hour on the roads examiners use. Learners swap test dates with each other free, and no names are shown.
