HALFWAY THROUGH 2024 AND THE COST OF LIVING CRISIS IS STILL WITH US.
PAY AS YOU GO IS THE WAY FORWARD
So many of us finding that the cost of living is high and as much as we have kept our prices the same for over two years costs are such that we have had to increase our hourly rate to £35 per hour still no where near the most expensive in Bridgend but very competive with the market place.
Hopefully the country will get back to normal and with the next budget ,maybe we will all feel alot better off .
We Only teach manual and you will be pleased to know there is still a very high demand for this type of driver training to enable people that have attained their full UK driving license the choice of driving a manual or automatic car on the same license.
We have had a lot of first time passes this year and a few spaces are available for those who wish to learn to drive.So give us a call on 07568570315 and we can select a time that is available to you wither through the week until 9pm and weekends.
The sun is out and the open road is waiting..
Learning to drive in the summer months can be beneficial in several ways. Firstly, the weather conditions are typically better even in Wales, with less rain and snow making for safer driving conditions.
Longer daylight hours mean that learners can practice driving in a variety of situations, such as during rush hour traffic or on winding roads.
Finally, summer months are usually less busy with school and work commitments, giving learners more time to focus on their driving education and practice behind the wheel. All these factors combine to make summer an ideal time to learn to drive with us.

ARE YOU READY TO DRIVE !
The DVSA backlog is still around with tests in Bridgend having a 4 month wait
(an example being a pupil booked their first practical driving test on 31st May 23 and the first available slot 26th sept 23 )
WHATS IMPORTANT TO YOU AND WHAT TO CONSIDER AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME
1. Driving Lessons for New Starters or Pupils who need refresher lessons or further practice leading towards being at test standard are still in high demand.
Currently, a few spaces are available due to pupils completing tests and should that not be the case, we are able to put you on a priority list and plan you in for lessons as soon as a time slot fits your availability.
MY ADVICE, BOOK YOUR LESSONS, SO YOU CAN START TO LEARN TO DRIVE STRAIGHTAWAY.
THEN BOOK YOUR TEST AS SOON AS YOU ARE READY, YOUR INSTRUCTOR WILL TELL YOU.
THIS WILL GIVE YOU PLENTY OF TIME TO CORRECT ERRORS AND GET A 100 PER CENT TO PRACTICAL DVSA TEST STANDARD WITH THE ABILITY TO PASS FIRST TIME.
2. Theory tests have changed and that now means that learner drivers have to answer three multiple choice questions, after watching a driving clip that lasts up to 30 seconds inserted into the 50 multiple choice questions in 57 mins; pass mark 43 out of 50 and for the hazard perception 44 out of 75. The DVSA app for theory tests is a must in my book and mirrors the actual test with what is the hot topic of the month
3. If you want to start to learn to drive? or need to have refresher lessons? or need to have further practice driving on town,country roads or motorway ?
Then you need to either contact Sian direct on 07568570315
or message her through our Facebook Page "Driving Safe School of Motoring". This will ensure that we can find a time slot that fits you or put you on a list until the right one becomes available.

WHAT TO EXPECT
ON YOUR FIRST DRIVING LESSON
1. Driving Lessons are taken in 2 hour Sessions (£35 per hour).
2. Sanitized seat covers after every pupil
3. on arrival you will be texted stating that I am outside and waiting to start our driving lesson
we do not knock on house doors so be ready please.
4. You will need to bring your provisional driving license to be checked and I only have to see this once.
5. We will go onto the industrial estate and complete a controls lesson where you will learn how all the controls work and what happens when you use them.
6. on completion of the controls lesson you will learn clutch control and how to steer the vehicle using the preferred method of pull push steering as advocated by the DVSA.
7. Should you progress well in this we will be able to start to learn the moving off and stopping routein commonly known as P.O.M and it is one of the safety checks used on your practical driving test.
8. individual driver training will take place a program designed for you with no car sharing
9.. Cancellation of lessons can happen when life throws a curved ball at you and you cannot make the lesson. All I ask is that you give me 48 hrs notice so that I can reschedule the time slot. to someone else or I will have to charge you the price of the lesson to cover loss of earnings
10 Our cost for the 2 hour lesson is £70 which is £35 per hour due to increase in business running costs ie fuel; but we are still competitive to other local instructors. We want to provide the best possible service in the Bridgend area. And our prices are staying the same for the next year.
11. The most important thing that you need to know is consistantcy is key as less haste equals more speed , so you need to have regular lessons without to much time off is what I am saying
and you will achieve your goals.
12. No Block Booking at this moment in time or deals, just pay as you go. It would be helpful if you could have the right amount of money which will be taken at the beginning of the lesson.

Follow us and check out our Facebook Page,
driving safe school of motoring
see our reviews and video's of pupils
who have passed with us, we have over 2,700 likes
So who are we and what areas do we work in ?
We have been operating for over 12 years which is not as long as some but longer than most instructors in the Bridgend area.
If you contact us you will first speak to sian who books in new pupils and runs our successful FB page. whilst I concentrate on coaching and teaching driver skills.
So we are small but very effective team, delivering one to one driver training designed to every pupils individual needs.
We work in the following areas Bridgend, Pencoed, Port Talbot, Porthcawl including motorway M4 training
The vehicle of choice for teaching for me is a peugot 108 which after trying other vehicles ticks all the boxes in all areas and pupils love it!
Our ethos is safe driving for life, and to that extent I take pupils out of Bridgend so that they can extend thier skill base on roads a bit different to the Bridgend norm ,including central Cardiff yes we are a bit different but to be an effective driver you must be able to read the road when you are outside your comfort zone.
So by now I guess you are getting some idea that we mean business when it comes to your training and safety. So maybe check out our prices and see what you think.
