⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ashleigh – Passed with 1 Minor
“I booked my crash course through Rated Driving and it has been nothing but exceptional! I had very limited availability, but Kevin and the team worked around everything to get it sorted. I started with no confidence and hardly any experience — and in just five weeks, I passed my first test with ONE minor! My instructor was absolutely amazing. I can’t fault a single thing. From nervous to fully confident and safe on the road in a matter of weeks — I’m so grateful!”

Public Transport Guidance
Getting to Colburn for your intensive driving course.
Travelling by Train
For learner drivers heading to Colburn, public transport primarily involves bus services, as Colburn does not have its own train station. The nearest major train station is Darlington. From Darlington Rail Station, you can take the X26 bus service directly to Colburn Lane, with a journey time of approximately 51 minutes. This Arriva North East service runs hourly.
If you’re coming from Richmond, the X26 bus also provides a direct link to Colburn, taking around 19 minutes from Market Place to Fifth Avenue. From Catterick Garrison, the X26 bus offers a quick 7-minute journey to Colburn Lane from Catterick Camp Centre. For those travelling from Bedale, a combination of buses is needed: take the 73 bus from Market Place to Northallerton Station, then a bus from Darlington Rail Station to Colburn Lane via the X26, which takes about 2 hours and 33 minutes. From Leyburn, you can take the X26 bus from Constantine Ave to Market Place, then the 825 bus to Wenslydale School, with a total journey of about 1 hour and 43 minutes.
For optimal travel to Colburn, aim for off-peak hours to avoid busier services. Generally, peak times are weekdays from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. You can book train tickets to Darlington via Trainline or MyTrainTicket.
Travelling by Bus
For learner drivers heading to Colburn for an intensive driving course, public transport is a viable option from surrounding areas. Arriva North East operates key services into Colburn.

If travelling from Catterick Garrison, the Arriva X26 and X27 services connect directly to Colburn. Buses depart hourly from Catterick Camp Centre and reach Colburn Lane in about 7 minutes.
From Leyburn, there isn’t a direct bus to Colburn. You would typically take a bus from Leyburn Market Place, such as the 825, to Richmond Market Place, then transfer to the X26 service to Colburn. This journey, including transfers, takes approximately 1 hour 43 minutes.
Similarly, from Bedale, there is no direct bus to Colburn. You would need to take a bus, for example, the 73 to Northallerton or Darlington, and then connect to the X26 service towards Colburn. This can take around 2 hours 33 minutes with transfers.
For optimal travel to Colburn, aim for weekday mornings outside of peak commuting hours (generally before 7 AM or after 9 AM) and avoid the evening rush (typically 4 PM – 6 PM) to ensure a smoother journey to Colburn. Bus services on the X26 generally start around 6:20 AM on weekdays.

Where to Start?
Looking to learn to drive in Colburn? Whether you prefer automatic or manual, there are plenty of flexible lesson options available.
🤔 Wondering How Many Lessons It’ll Take?
You’ll hear numbers like 40 hours of lessons and 20 hours of private practice. But the truth? There’s no magic number.
Some learners feel test-ready in 30 hours. Others need more time to build confidence behind the wheel. What really matters isn’t the total - it’s the consistency.
The more often you drive, the faster everything clicks. And when you combine solid instructor lessons with regular private practice? That’s when real progress happens.
Your journey won’t look like anyone else’s. And that’s exactly how it should be.
🧐 How to Prepare for Your First Driving Lesson
Getting ready for your first driving lesson is an exciting step - and a bit of preparation can help you feel more confident and relaxed on the day. Here’s a simple guide to help you make the most of it:
1. Check Your Provisional Licence
Before your lesson, make sure you have a valid provisional driving licence. Your instructor will need to see it to confirm you’re legally allowed to drive.
2. Get Familiar with the Basics
Take a few minutes to learn the basic layout of a car - the pedals, gear stick, steering wheel, and mirrors. Watching a short video or reading a beginner’s guide can help you feel more prepared.
3. Choose Comfortable Clothing
Wear clothes that allow you to move freely and flat-soled shoes that give you good control of the pedals. Avoid anything bulky or restrictive.
4. Bring the Essentials
Have your provisional licence with you, along with glasses or contact lenses if you need them to drive. A bottle of water is also a good idea to stay hydrated.
5. Get a Good Night’s Sleep
Feeling well-rested will help you stay focused and alert throughout your lesson.
6. Brush Up on the Highway Code
A quick review of key road signs, speed limits, and basic driving rules can give you a boost in confidence before you get behind the wheel. [download The Highway Code 2025 PDF]
7. Keep Your Expectations Realistic
Your first lesson is all about getting familiar with the car and starting to build your skills. Don’t worry about getting everything perfect - take it one step at a time.
With the right preparation and a calm mindset, you’ll be off to a great start.
🙏 What to Expect on Your First Driving Lesson
Your first driving lesson is a key milestone - it's where everything begins. The goal is to help you feel comfortable, introduce you to the car, and give you your first taste of driving. Here’s what typically happens during your first session:
1. Meet Your Instructor
You’ll meet your DVSA-approved driving instructor, who will check your provisional licence and have a quick chat about any experience or knowledge you already have.
2. Go Through the Cockpit Drill (DSSSM)
Before driving, you'll go through a quick safety routine to get set up properly:
- Doors - Make sure all doors are securely closed.
- Seat - Adjust your seat so you can reach the pedals comfortably.
- Steering - Adjust the steering wheel to suit your position.
- Seatbelt - Buckle up for safety.
- Mirrors - Position your mirrors for a clear view around the car.
3. Learn the Basic Car Controls
Your instructor will show you the key controls, including:
- Accelerator, brake, and clutch (if you're learning in a manual)
- Gear stick, handbrake, and indicators
- Other essentials like lights and wipers
4. Practice Moving Off and Stopping
You’ll start with the basics:
- How to start the engine safely
- Checking mirrors and blind spots
- Moving off smoothly and bringing the car to a controlled stop
5. Drive on Quiet Roads
If you're ready, your instructor may take you to a quiet area to practice simple driving skills like steering, gear changes, and stopping calmly.
6. Feedback and Next Steps
At the end of the lesson, your instructor will talk you through what went well and what to work on next time. This feedback helps you build confidence and track your progress.
Getting You Connected
Once your place is secured with a deposit, we’ll aim to match you with a DVSA-registered driving instructor within 14 days. If we can’t, we’ll refund you - no chasing, no questions.

Top Tip for Intensive Driving Courses 👨🏫
“Intensive driving courses can be a great way to learn quickly, but they’re not a shortcut to safe driving. I always remind my pupils: it’s not about cramming—it’s about retaining. Make sure you’re still getting variety in your practice: different roads, weather, and traffic conditions.
Also, be honest with yourself. If you need a little more time to build confidence, take it. It’s better to be fully ready than to rush into a test. A well-paced intensive course, combined with structured learning, can help you pass faster—and drive smarter for life.”

Sergiu however, is a phenomenal instructor
16/07/2024
People say that a certain percentage of the human population is not able and suited for driving. I always thought that this was true and about me. Sergiu however, is a phenomenal instructor and under his tuition I was able to become a careful and considerate driver, who passed her practical driving exam from the first go. Sergiu understood my limitations and with lots of written material and practical repetition we were able to achieve the impossible. I strongly recommend Sergiu to anyone struggling with driving and to those who don’t struggle with it at all. He is not expensive and great value for money too.
Sergiu is absolutely brilliant at his job!

On behalf of Sofia and Toma, Sergiu is the best Instructor they ever had. I absolutely recommend him.
