Our experience has shown that pupils find the first lesson the most enjoyable lesson and completely different to their expectations. In particular, nervous pupils look forward to their next lesson.

Our goal at Swish Driving School is to get you driving as soon as possible on your first lesson without compromising your safety and safety of others.

Eyesight test  – On your first lesson you will be asked to read a number plate which will be approximately 20.5 meters away (about 5 car lengths).

Provisional licence –  On your first lesson your instructor will check your provisional licence.

Drive to site – Depending on where you live and how much driving experience you have had, your instructor may have to drive you to a quieter area. It’s important that you start in an area free from activity, like approaching vehicles and busy junctions. On the way to a suitable place your instructor will talk you through parts of the topics that are going to be covered on your lesson.
