Even for an experienced driver, driving in the centre of Guildford can be an intimidating. For people hoping to learn to drive or for people who have passed their test but lack experience, it can really put them off getting in a car.
There is the busy gyratory system which can be confusing to navigate as the lanes are not always obvious and there are a large number of other drivers also switching lanes around you. During rush hour this system can come to a standstill so it is important to know lane discipline and how to cope with busy roads if you are planning on driving in and around Guildford.
Luckily we have a number of highly experienced and well trained driving instructors in Guildford who have traversed Guildford and the surrounding area many times.
By learning to drive in the Guildford area you will be able to gain experience with multiple traffic lights, junctions, large and mini roundabouts and busy dual carriageways. However, at Blue, our driving instructors in Guildford will know the calmer areas of the town, allowing you to build up your confidence and ability before being thrown into the busier streets.
Once you have covered the basics of clutch control then your Guildford driving instructor will move onto doing main roads and roundabouts, but only when you are ready. Blue prides itself on only hiring instructors who will help nurture and encourage learner drivers, making sure that you can learn to drive in an environment that is as safe and a stress free as possible.
If you are new to the Guildford area and have already passed your test we also have a number of instructors who are trained in various Pass+ programs which are specifically designed to give you further experience of situations you may have not faced during your initial lessons or test.
Alternatively, if you have already passed your test or want to start anew, Blue also has driving instructors in Guildford which are trained to offer Automatic car lessons. Learning to drive in an automatic car can be so much easier than in a manual car, with most pupils reaching test standard in less time, learning to drive can be a lot less expensive. However, keep in mind, you will be restricted to driving an Automatic once you have passed your test and would need to get another license to allow you to drive Manual cars.
Whatever lessons you have in mind it is important to get a driving instructor who knows the area well as they will be able to take you on the most helpful routes for you. It can also be helpful to take a single one off lesson if you are new to the area and want a controlled environment in which to learn some of Guildford’s more busy areas.
If you live outside of Guildford but want to take your lessons within the town then it is best to state this when booking your first lesson as your instructor will always collect you.
