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.
Mark Donnelly
Mark Donnelly passed with new starters driving school in carlisle with our instructor John Collins.
Mark wrote us a review and had this to say, the most important criteria when choosing a driving instructor was that the instructor had to make you a safe driver and he also wanted someone who was not going to put pressure on him. When learning to drive it was a lot easier than he had expected with all the help he got, His instructors teaching methods were brilliant and Mark also said that he would recommend us to others because our instructors adapt to the learner and the learners speed of progress. There was nothing Mark could think of to improve our services.
max kirton
Well done to Max Kirton who passed his test first time with our new starters driving instructor Stephen. We asked Max to review us and he had this to say.
When learning to drive Max originally started with one of our PDI's Peter and went on to finish his lessons with our instructor Stephen, Max was recommended by his brother who had previously passed with Stephen and he had also been recommended by a lot of his friends which was important as he wanted a school that was well recommended. When asked about his instructors teaching methods Max said they were really helpful and that he would pass on a recommendation as New starters got him through his test promptly.
Pheobe Wilson
Pheoe Wilson passed in Carlisle with Stephen Philipson with Zero minor faults.
Pheobe started her driving experience on our pre-learner site for 14-17 year olds and when asked what she was looking for with an instructor Pheobe said she wanted a friendly and reliable instructor with a good pass rate and she also looked for an instructor who had a good reputation, regular availabilty and good prices. When learning to drive Pheobe found it much easier and more enjoyable, she also added that her instructors teaching methods worked very well for her. Pheobe said that she would recommend New starters driving school because our instructors are good at teaching and she liked the car she learned to drive in.
Patrick White
I couldn't recommend Lynda more to anyone learning to drive. Lynda takes the time you need, very good to chat with and just cares about you passing your test, putting a lot of confidence in you and getting that confidence in yourself as well.
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.
Henry Richards
Henry Richards was taught by our instructor John wardle in carlisle, he said that his most important criteria when choosing an instructor was that they were friendly and easy going, other factors were that they had to be reliable. When learning to drive with new starters driving school it was as expected and found my instructors teaching methods were really good. Henry added that he would recommend new starters driving school (and already has), the service was superb and there was nothing he would recommend as an improvement.
Matthew Chambers
Congratulations Matthew on passing with our instructor John wardle. Matthew had this to say about his experience.............
When learning to drive matthew started on our pre learner site in Carlisle. He wanted an instructor with a good reputation and a high pass rate. When learning to drive Matthew had thought it would have been easier but when he got used to driving he felt more comfortable, he found his instructors teaching methods were very clear and friendly and he would recommend us as he could see his improvements on every lesson. Matthew added that the only thing he would have improved on was that he would have liked to have done his manouvres earlier.
Emma Blair
Congratulations Emma Blair on your first time pass in Carlisle with our instructor Stephen Philipson.
Emma started her lessons on our off road site before she was 17 and went on to pass with us. When looking for an instructor Emma wanted someone with a good pass rate, that was easy to get along with and had good teaching methods. Her driving experience was a lot easier than she had expected it to be due to her instructors teaching methods and she added his methods were really good. Emma added she would recommend new starters driving school as she was made to feel very confident in her driving (which definately showed on her test).
Thank you for your review Emma
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.
