New Car For 2026

Its time to retire the Ford Fiesta and move on. I’ve chosen to go with Skoda for a change. The new car will be a Skoda Fabia SE L Edition in Blue. It should arrive at the end of January 2026 ready for action.

Lesson Length – Change Of Offered Services

Change to Services Offered.

From today we will not be offering a 1hr lesson on our online booking system until further notice.

Looking at how students learn in the early stages of lessons it can be seen that they need to ensure enough time behind the wheel to practice what they have been briefed on. With 1hr lessons in the very early stages, this is difficult to achieve.

For example.

On a first lesson the student needs to be driven to a suitable practice location. This could be upto 15mins drive away from there home pickup. They then need briefing on the lesson they are about to have, and then have time to practice. Depending on the lesson the briefing may be 5 to 10 mins, with 15 mins to drive home again after the lesson (This driver would not be safe to drive in this scenario), that leaves only 20mins for any practice.

We are not going to be stopping delivering 1hr lessons, as these are suitable for drivers who are at the trained stage and almost ready for test.

Moving forward, to book 1hr lessons, it will need to be an agreement between the instructor and the student based on their current ability.

We currently advise all new drivers to book a 2hr lesson for their first session so we can establish a baseline for future lessons and allow them more time practicing on their first lesson.

We feel that 1.5hrs are a better option with 2.0hrs being the best option when first starting to learn.

Hope this explains why this has changed.

We will constantly review this change and may may make further changes should we need to: to ensure that students are getting the best value for money.

If you feel these changes are going to impact your lessons, then please discuss this with us when you attend your next lesson.
