Learning to drive in Slough
Here is most of what you will need to know before getting yourself
set up with one of our professional driving instructors local to Slough.
Why learn to drive?
Work
The prime spot for jobs. Slough is an ever-developing town in a
very good position for new work opportunities. Roughly 1 in 6 jobs advertised
require the applicant to be able to drive a vehicle. Driving is a life skill
but also a skill that could help develop you in your workplace, giving you
access to any travel related opportunities. If a driving licence isn’t a
pass into your business success, I don’t know what is.
Time
Public transport, handy but often inconvenient, ever been in a
major rush and ended up running late because of a delayed bus, taxi or tram? We
understand the benefits of using local transport but in certain situations it
is more time-efficient for one to jump in their car and be on their way within
minutes.
Travelling
Slough is a very busy area with links in and out of London and
other major cities. With a major motorway cutting straight through the town,
what better place to have the power of travel.
Practical test
The practical test is an exciting and nerve-racking experience,
being fully prepared physically and mentally really takes the edge off. Make
sure you are well prepared on the day.
Bring your provisional licence to the driving test, this is very
important as without it you may get turned away.
If you wear glasses, make sure you bring them with you, before the
test goes ahead you will be asked to read the number plate of a vehicle from a
20 metre distance, fail this and you fail the test.
Just treat it like a lesson with your
instructor, relax and show them what you can do, best of luck!

FAQ’s
Do I need my provisional licence before I can drive?
Yes, a provisional licence is needed before you can drive on UK
roads with an appropriate passenger.

Most foreign licences allow a driver that is not a GB resident to
drive on UK roads for 12 months, after this time the driver will have to get a
provisional licence and start the process of driving in the UK.

17 is the legal age for a person to be able to start driving a car

which is done on private land (not on the roads) which is available to under
17’s. There is no restriction on maximum age.
