Driving Lessons in Carlisle - Start from the age of 14 to any age.
It's quite a scary place to learn to drive on today's busy road systems, especially with Carlisle's one way system - so why don't you start somewhere safer, with no traffic, so that you can learn to control a car before testing the roads.
New Starters Driving School has access to a full 60 hectare site with large tarmac area and road layout, just on the outskirts of Carlisle.
We can teach you how to set off safely, pull up safely, steer correctly, use the gears and clutch, engine breaking and even how to do a hill start all on your first lesson. With as little risk as possible as there's no other traffic.
You can come back and learn how to do T junctions and all your manouvers before risking the roads.
Our driving instructor, Stephen Philipson, is a fully qualified, DBS checked, DVSA approved driving instructor. He has been teaching for over 5 years with an excellent pass rate. So if you want, we would love it if you stayed with us when you venture out on the highways.
Like what we do?
We would love you to share your experiences you've had with New Starters Driving School.
Sam Clarkson
Congratulations to Sam Clarkson for passing with our instructor Stephen after doing the intensive driving days.
Sam found that when looking for an instructor he wanted someone with good reviews and pass rate, He also wanted an instructor that could offer him intensive lessons at a good cost. When learning to drive Sam had already had some lessons with a different instructor but found Stephens teaching methods were good with a variety of teaching methods. Sam has said he would recommend New starters driving school.
Thanks for your review Sam.

Jade Davis
Well done Jade on your test pass with New starters driving school instructor John Collins.
Jade started with us on our pre learner site in Houghton which was one of the factors that made her choose new starters, jade also said that when looking for an instructor they had to make her feel confident and at ease. When learning Jade said it was a totally different experience to what she had expected and that her instructors teaching methods were reassuring and gave her loads of confidence. Jade added she would recommend new starters as her instructor was brilliant.
Thanks for the review and we look forward to seeing you out and about in your car.
megan verehoose
Well done to Megan Vere-Hoose who passed her driving test in carlisle with John Collins. We asked Megan to review us and she had this to say...........
When looking for a driving instructor they had to be able to teach me before i went onto the road (Megan started her lessons on our Pre-learner site in Houghton) and they had to be highly recommended, Megan also wanted an instructor who she could get along with easily. When learning to drive Megan had initially thought it was going to be much trickier than it was but she said she found that her instructors teaching methods were positive and that John always gave constructive feedback. Megan has said that she would recommend New starters to others as we were very proffesional and friendly and she also added there was nothing to improve.
Krystal Goldie
Well done Krystal Goldie on your recent test pass in Carlisle with our new starters driving school instructor John Collins.
Krystal started her journey on our pre learner site and went on to pass her practical test with us.
When looking for an instructor Krystal wanted someone who had good pass rates and who she knew others had enjoyed their driving experience with, she also looked for good recommendations. When learning to drive Krystal found it harder than she expected but found her instructors teaching methods very helpful, the visual drawings and app download also helped her. Krystal added she would recommend us as John was very patient, kind and funny which made the experience less stressful, she also added as a company we were very helpful and provided all the information and help throughpout the whole of her driving experience with us.
Thank you Krystal for your review and we look forward to seeing you on the roads.

Sarah Baldwin passed in Carlisle with New starters driving schools instructor John Wardle....
Sarah said that when choosing an instructor they had to have good recommendations. When learning to drive in comparison to what Sarah had expected it was harder but she found that her instructors teaching methods were very informative and she added she would definatly recommend New starters driving school.
