Booking intensive driving lessons in Barking and Dagenham
If you’re familiar with crash courses, you might have a certain image in mind of what you can expect when you choose to take one yourself. Maybe you think you’ll have to do all your lessons within a 5 day period, shell out for accommodation, and take one week off work. That might be true of another driving school—but not PassMeFast.
We offer learners real choice when it comes to their driving course. Want to fit lessons around your schedule? Done. Need to be picked up from work or home? Sorted. Looking to take your test weeks ahead of the usual waiting times? No sweat.
Interested in automatic intensive driving lessons in Barking and Dagenham?
Though manual cars are the most popular option on British roads, they’re not the only choice. Automatic cars are increasing in popularity, with some learners breathing a sigh of relief at being able to avoid constant gear changes and tricky clutch control.
Be aware, though, that if you take your test in an automatic car, you won’t be able to drive a manual car when you get your licence. It’s also a common misconception that autos are easy: they’re certainly not the guaranteed pass they’re often cracked up to be!
Nonetheless, the truth is that many drivers simply prefer automatics—and we believe the choice should be yours.
Our courses are available in both manual and automatic cars, meaning you’re in control. If you’re ready to get started, book your automatic course now.
Best of all, we take away the hassle that too often is part and parcel of learning to drive. Our team will assign one of our experienced, DVSA-approved instructors to cover your driving lessons. We’ll even handle the admin when it comes to booking your practical test (and theory, if required). So, relax—you’re in good hands.
