With a provisional license, you’re ready to start your driving adventure.

Whether you have any previous driving experience or not, DCS can get you off on the right foot by focusing your training on how to drive, not just how to pass a test. You might find yourself learning to drive in Shrewsbury, Oswestry, Newtown, Welshpool… or any of the surrounding areas, including motorways and narrow country lanes. Varied roads are great confidence boosters for a nervous driver, and in an automatic you’ll be feeling that belief in yourself before you know it!

Why go automatic?

Maybe you’ve tried manuals and can’t quite get the hang of the clutch / gears, or perhaps it’s taking a little longer than you thought it would. Maybe someone else in your family or friend group has recently got an auto and you’ve decided that’s the way forward. Whichever way, whilst used manuals will still be around for a while, it’s getting harder to find a new one now, with automatic sales outnumbering manuals by far. This will clearly have a positive effect on the used automatic market in the near future.

Don’t driving instructors just teach me how to pass the test?

It’s widely recognised that being a good driver is more than good car control and knowing test routes off by heart! Take a look at this article from the RAC. How many of those habits do you see in other, experienced drivers..?

The aim of the game will be to become an all – round defensively minded driver with good road knowledge, awareness of the problems, and the ability and confidence to deal with them.

This doesn’t mean, of course, that you won’t be aiming for a test pass – that pink license is what you’re looking for, after all!

By focusing on being a better driver, as well as the disciplines needed to be a successful test candidate, you will be heading for the test centre knowing that your driving is solid and that you have a pretty good chance of passing.

Starting your journey

Use the contact details to discuss / arrange your first session. On this session you will get to know the basics of car control. If it’s your first time behind the wheel, you may find a few nerves jangling; this is quite normal, and trainees nearly always find by the end of this first time they are absolutely buzzing to have learned a new skill!
