Booking Intensive Driving Lessons in Hounslow
PassMeFast does things a little bit differently to other driving schools. We specialise in intensive driving courses, but this doesn’t mean that you have to take all your lessons within a 5 day period, like with some other companies. Instead, our instructors work around your busy schedules. So, no matter how time-consuming your commitments are, we’ll be able to help you get that elusive pink licence.
Most British motorists drive manual cars, for a number of reasons. For instance, automatic cars used to be much more expensive than their manual equivalents, although this has changed in recent years. Also, automatic gearboxes used to be very inefficient and require bigger, thirstier engines to work; although this is also changing.
More and more people in the UK are buying cars with automatic transmissions, and for understandable reasons these cars also represent an attractive proposition to many learner drivers. After all, who wouldn’t want to skip the hassle of learning clutch control, which can take many hours?
There are a couple of things to be aware of if you’re thinking of learning to drive in an automatic car though. The first of these is that if you take your test in an automatic car, you can only legally drive automatic cars in the future; unless you choose to retake your test.
The second thing to be aware of is that taking a test in an automatic car is by no means a guaranteed pass. In fact, pass rates are actually lower in automatic cars overall. Still, at PassMeFast we know that every learner is different, so all of our courses are available in both automatic and manual cars. If automatic sounds like a step in the right direction to you, click here to book your automatic course.
What’s more is that we take the hassle out of learning to drive. As soon as you contact us, our team members will assign you one of our DVSA-registered instructors who will guide you along your driving journey, from start to finish.
