Manual or automatic
Both are taught. Manual gives you a licence for either; automatic is usually quicker to pass in. If you are torn, say so on the phone.
What a lesson with Ali is like.
An hour and a half, in King's Lynn, in a car you will still be driving on test day.
Always Ali
Not a rota. The same person from your first stall to your test, so nobody ever has to be brought up to speed on you.
Immediate start possible
There is often a slot sooner than you would expect. Ring and ask what is free rather than assuming there is a waiting list.
How it works
From first lesson to licence.
Everyone takes a different number of lessons. The order, though, is the same for everybody.
Ring Ali
Say whether you want manual or automatic and roughly when you can drive. He will tell you straight what is available.
Your first lesson
A quiet road, the cockpit drill, then moving off and stopping until the clutch stops being a mystery. Everybody stalls.
Book your theory early
You cannot sit the practical without it, and it is the thing most people leave far too late.
Build it up
Junctions, roundabouts, dual carriageways, then the manoeuvres — at whatever pace actually works for you.
A proper mock
A full run marked the way an examiner marks it, so test day is not the first time you have done the whole thing.
Test day
In the car you learned in, on roads you already know. Then your photo goes up with everyone else’s.
