Learning to Drive

Requires hard work, dedication and the desire to learn and succeed.

With all of the above and lots of help from me, you will have all the ingredients for a successful test pass and a positive and safe attitude towards driving.

Private practice in a car with parents or friends can be a good way to accelerate your learning and gain more experience in between your lessons.

You can start to learn to drive as soon as you are 17 and have a provisional licence (see link to right).

You may apply for your licence up to 3 months before your 17th birthday.

Remember though, learning to drive should also be enjoyable and it has been known that during lessons we may even have a laugh or two!

The Tests

To gain your FULL licence you must pass two tests, a Theory Test and a Practical Driving Test.

THE THEORY TEST is in two parts:

For the most up to date questions and Hazard Perception clips, please visit www.onlinetheorytests.co.uk. I can offer you discounted access to one of the best Theory Test websites in the UK, have a look at the website, you can have a free practice to see how good it is first.

THE PRACTICAL TEST, approximately 35-40 minutes in which you must demonstrate your ability to drive safely in a variety of traffic conditions.

How long does it take to learn?

A very good question!

The answer is IT DEPENDS on your ability, number of lessons taken and amount of private practice taken.

The 'average' person requires about 40 hours of professional tuition to reach test standard, however like many other instructors, I have taught people who have not needed quite as much as that and some who required a little bit more.

You will be able to monitor you progress throughout your course with your Driver's Record, which I will complete after each session so you can see exactly how you are doing.

You will also receive 'handouts' after each session to summarize the topic covered.

Testimonials

"Jiffy was the second driving school that I had learnt with and I have to say that Paul's methods of instruction, explanation and encouragement far excel the other instructors I had driven with, giving me the confidence to overcome the nerves from failing the test previously, and enabling me to pass first time under Paul's instruction." - Louise J.

"I had a previouis instructor, and felt that i wasn't acheiving much, so a friend gave me Jiffy's number. On my first lesson, i felt i had achieved so much, and every lesson from then on, had me smiling at the end of it. Paul made me feel at ease, and his explanations were clear. I was scared of going on the park way due to a accident a year before, but Paul took it steady and slowly gave me the confidence to go on the park way and increase my speed. Without Paul's help, and the way he helped me become confident, i don't think i would have passed first time. I would recommend Jiffy to anyone, as he is very patient, kind and very professional." - Kirsty W.

"Jiffy Driving School is top-notch!! Paul is a very patient, understanding person, and always very professional. He had also created such a relaxed atmosphere from the get-go. I'm an American, and an experienced driver for over 20 years however I have been driving on the right side of the road (or the WRONG side if you must) and not with a manual gearbox, and I had a few bad habits to break and a lot of new things to learn here. So I was given Paul's number to help me change-over from my US license to a FULL UK license. Believe me, Paul was so patient with me having to help me break my bad habits, he had also helped me gain the confidence to drive a manual gearshift vehicle, and to understand these roundabouts here, and the constant speed limit changes. I have no hesitation recommending Jiffy Driving School to anyone young or old." - Tracy L.

"Jiffy was the second driving school I went with after getting to stage with my first one where I thought I was no loner progressing. I had a time scale where I had to pass my test due to the nature of my work. I had no confidence when it came to driving and thought I would never be in a situation where I would pass. When my test approached I thought I was never going to do it, but Paul kept motivating me and I passed first time. Paul was very patient, understanding and made things alot more simple for me to get my head around. He is very honest and has every individuals best interests at heart. He is very hardworking and puts alot of time and effort into his teaching providing extra materials to give you that extra helping hand. Paul is by far an A* driving instructor that I would recommend to anyone whatever your age, abilities,or needs. He will go that extra mile in order for you to achieve you goals and won't make you take unnecessary lessons in the process. Many thanks." - Zoe.

"Hi Paul, just like to thank you for your help and knowledge on helping me pass my test the 3rd time of asking (first time with you!). With your extra help and patience you helped me brush up on the relevant points and gave my confidence a much needed boost. I would recommend your expertise to any new learners." - Olivia A.

"After moving to Peterborough I decided to carry on my driving Tuition, After finding Paul I was pleased, Paul Stays calm throughout all lessons and explains everything clearly and easily to understand. Which as a nervous driver was what I really needed. If you wish to become a good safe driver and wish to pass your test to a high standard then I would highly reccomend Paul. I would never have passed without his help! Many thanks Paul. Will come to see you if I decide to go for a Pass Plus." - Tom.

"I decided to use Jiffy after my sister had successfully passed her test first time under his tuition. He was very patient and calm and had me at ease from day one of my lessons with him. I really liked the driving card that he gives out, it gives structure to the whole driving course and I always knew where I was at with him and what I really needed to work on. He gave me confidence in myself and I passed my test first time after just 6 months of lessons with him. He is great and I would recommend him to anyone ? as I did and gratefully received a couple of free lessons under his reward scheme. Cheers Paul!" - Alex R.

"Jiffy was my first and only driving school, after being recommended by a friend at work, I got in touch with Paul and couldn't be more please that I did as I found the whole learning experience very pleasant and calm. Paul was very clear and calm when teaching which helped to create a relaxing atmosphere. Paul also goes to alot of extra effort to provide extra learning materials such as handouts which I felt were a huge help. With Paul's help I was able to pass my both my tests and helped to build my confidence so I am now able to drive alone. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good, calm and memoriable driving lessons!!" - Emily H.

"Hi Paul, I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to teach me how to drive here in England. It has been a long journey, but your patience and kindness were overwhelming! You have been more than an instructor, but also a trusted friend. I drove for many years in Turkey, my home country, but of course it is very different here. It was hard for me to learn to drive here and pass a test, after driving for so long already, in another country; we all have bad driving habits! I never felt my language barrier was a problem for you because of your patience in making me learn and understand. You helped me to gain my confidence on the roads here and you were always honest about my progress. Your flexibility about the times of my lessons was also very helpful, as I work full time; go to college and look after my two young sons. I really couldn't have done it without you! thank you for ALL you have done. I now enjoy being able to take my sons out for a drive somewhere; its much more fun for us all, because of you! Thanks, once again." - Ram.

"I went with Jiffy after 2 failed tests and an extreme case of test nerves!! Paul was very understanding and kept me at ease meaning I passed 3rd time with only 3 minors! He definitely helped iron out all the little mistakes that had meant I'd failed before and was very helpful providing handouts like an aerial photo of the roundabout that terrified me previously! Im really pleased I finally passed and would certainly recommend Jiffy to anyone who is looking for a good, reliable and flexible driving school." - Chloe L.

"Jiffy has been my only driving school, and my achievment of passing first time speaks for itself! I could not have done it without Paul, and with his relaxed lessons i built my confidence in the car. I also really like the Micra which s a great car to learn in! I would highly recommend Paul to anyone at any standard of driving, and if i decide to go on to pass plus i will definitely give Jiffy a call!" - Christian C.

"Had two insturcters prior to jiffy and both messed me about with not turning up for lessons and not getting good value for money. Had my test booked before starting with jiffy which i wasn't ready for when it was booked but jiffy soon got me to the standard of driving i needed. i highly recommend paul to anyone who wants to learn to drive." - Steven W.

"Thank you for everything to help me pass my driving test first time I really appriciate all the help and knowledge you gave me to use on the road to drive safely. Paul was very calm and understanding and went at my own pace and quickly progressed to the point where I was able to pass. Paul explained what needed to be done very clearly and I would definatley recomend Jiffy to everyone! Thank you very much, see you soon." - Lewis R.

"Hi paul. Thanks for for teaching me how to drive! As i was learning i had an enjoyable time and always practiced everything so that we made my driving perfect. You always explained everything really well and if i didn't understand anything you would always explain it more. You were always patient and calm even when i had errors in my lessons. You also helped me with my theory by letting me borrow your practice discs. I would recommend jiffy to all drivers young and old." - Chris W.

"Choosing 'Jiffy' as our daughters driving instructor, was not only giving Sheena a challenge but it was also a challenge for Paul (Jiffy) too! Sheena was Pauls first pupil with learning disabilities and we knew this was going to be hard work for the pair of them. Neither ever gave up the challenge on each other and although it took a long time, a lot of hard work and dedication they got there in the end. When Sheena recently passed her driving test we felt she had won an olympic gold medal. Due to her learning disabilities, this was her greatest acheivment in life so far! We could not have acheived this without Paul as not only did he get Sheena through all this hard work, he also spent time visiting our home and helping Sheena with her theory. I highly reccomend Paul for his capability in his profession who has gone the extra mile to take on this challenge and suceeded with flying colours. Paul you are an absolute star and we can not thank you enough. I hope you feel as proud of yourself as our whole family do of you and Sheena. 12/10. Regards" - The Whitwells.
