Learner Driver Lessons      

            Each driving lesson is tailored to your driving ability to help you learn quickly and with the minimum of stress. From your first lesson to your last you will be taught in a patient, friendly way with each lesson consisting of a full hours driving. You will be taught all the necessary driving skills, according to the Driving Standards Agency's recommended syllabus, to make you a safe and competent driver for life.

        All lessons are for one hour. Most pupils take two or three lessons a week but you can have more or less. The hardest and most expensive way to learn is to have only one lesson a week, as a large part of the lesson is spent trying to regain the skills you learnt the previous week. You will progress more having two lessons in one week than you would having three lessons one week apart. Lessons are available Monday to Friday 9.00a.m. to 8.00p.m.

Free Handouts

       I give my pupils free handouts to help with all aspects of learning to drive from directions to the theory test centres, difficult to find in Newcastle and Sunderland, to the "Tell me, show me" questions that the examiner will ask when you take your test. This means that you can learn at home saving you time, lessons and money.

The Theory Test

       The Cheviot School of Motoring offers unsurpassed online theory training for the Driving Standard Agency's theory test, using the latest and official DSA questions and  hazard perception practice clips.

Features

       Topic Tests - a 1000+ questions are a lot to learn so the DSA topics are broken into smaller bite sized topics meaning they can be worked on when you have a few moments to spare.

•  Unlimited Mock Tests - the questions are randomly selected rather than having set tests so the chances of seeing the same set test twice is almost impossible
• Theory Wizard - the wizard intelligently guides you from a complete beginner to test standard by focusing on the areas you have not yet covered and questions you have answered incorrectly     
•  Explanations - explanations of the answers are provided on the testing screens 
•  Hide some incorrect answers - this feature is a bit like a 50/50 option where you can choose to take away some of the incorrect answers 
•  My Questions - this allows you to put questions aside for later rewiew
•  Hazard Perception Clips - the official hazard perception clips so you won't get closer to the real thing
•  My Videos - as with My Questions you can put videos aside for later review
•  Road Signs - both testing and revision is available, although not part of the theory test this section provides essential learning
•  Study 24/7 - from any location to suit your timetable
•  Always up to date, - unlike books and CDs and much cheaper
•  Full Access to a Support Team - available during normal working hours for any enquiries you may have

Pass Plus   What is it?

       As a new driver, you are more likely to have an accident in the first year after passing your test than at any other time in your driving career. Lack of experience means that you can be as much as two seconds slower than a practised driver in recognising danger - and that could be two seconds between life and death.

       Pass Plus is designed to make newly qualified drivers become better drivers with a course consisting of three specially designed driver training sessions which you can take after passing your practical test. Pass Plus is backed by Central Government, Car Insurance companies and the Driving Standards Agency. The extra experience and positive driving skills which would otherwise take a long time to aquire are reduced to only six hours when you take a Pass Plus course.

      There is no test to take. After you have completed the course you will be given a certificate which entitles you to one year's no claims bonus with over 63% of the UK's private car insurance companies. You can take a Pass Plus course up to one year after passing your practical driving test but it is best if you do it as soon as possible. Most insurers supporting the scheme will give one year's no claims bonus on comprehensive, third party fire and theft, and third party policies as soon as you insure your own car. You will be able to defer the no claims bonus for up to two years if you currently drive under someone else's policy. This mearns that if you buy a car within two years of completing a Pass Plus course, and have not had any claims in the meantime, your first premium will be reduced by the extra one year's no claims bonus.

What's involved?

       The Pass Plus course consists of three training sessions, each lasting two hours.

Session One:   Town Driving and All Weather Driving

      A few minutes will be spent discussing the theory of driving in adverse weather conditions with the remainder of the session driving around Sunderland and Newcastle, learning how to cope with dense city centre traffic.

Session Two:    Rural Road and Night Driving

       If possible, depending on the time of year, this session will be conducted in the dark, if not, night driving will be covered in theory and the remaining time will be spent driving to Consett and around County Durham, covering about sixty miles on winding rural roads with their unique hazards.

Session Three:   Dual Carrigeway and Motorway Driving

       In this session you will drive to the MetroCentre and then along the A1(M) to Teesside and back. You will learn how to join, leave, overtake and drive at high speed on busy dual carriageways and motorways, covering about sixty miles.

Refresher Lessons

      If you havn't driven for a while or are feeling nervous about driving after an accident, a few lessons will quickly restore your lost confidence. The refresher lessons will pinpoint any problems you may be having and will soon have you driving again with renewed self assurance. I find that most pupils who come to me for refresher lessons feel capable to drive on their own again after about five lessons.

New Driver Act Tuition

      These lessons are for new drivers who have had their licence revolked after being given six or more penalty points by a magistrate's court. I can quickly correct any driving faults that you may have gained since passing the test to  help you regain your driving licence in the minimum of time.                            

Motorway lesson

      This two hour lesson will dispel all your fears about motorways by teaching you how to drive on the A1(M). You will drive to Scotch Corner in North Yorkshire and back learning how to join, leave, overtake and drive at high speed  on one of England's busiest motorways.
