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.
Auryn Richards
I would highly recommend Scott McMillan, he is a very calm, patient and accommodating driving instructor. He explains everything thoroughly, making the driving easy to understand and far less stressful than you would think. I had the confidence I needed to pass first try with no minors thanks to his excellent teaching.
Amy Wright
Well done to Amy Wright on your first time test pass in Carlisle with our instructor Kenny Stevenson.
Amy stared with us on our pre learner site in Houghton. When looking for an instructor Amy wanted someone with a good pass rate, who was friendly and would let her learn in a relaxed and unpressured way. Compared to what Amy had initially thought learning to drive was more enjoyable than she'd expected. Her instructor Kenny's teaching methods were very good and Kenny was easy to talk to which made Amy relaxed and she was able to take things at her own pace. Amy has already been recommending New starters as she passed first time which is something she hadnt thought she would have been able to do, she also added the service was proffesional but friendly and enjoyable.
Thank you for your review Amy.

Rhia Heron
Well done Rhia on your test pass with our instructor Kenny.
Rhia reviewed our services and said.....
When choosing an instructor they had to have a good reputation, needed to be flexible with there hours and to work weekends. When learning to drive Rhia had initially learned 10 years ago but found this time much more successful, her instructors teaching methods were very good and Kenny was always calm and positive which is what Rhia needed. Rhia said she would definately recommend New starters as Kenny is a great instructor and she also liked her mock test with our other instructor John, Rhia added that this shows how much we all work together as a team. Nothing was needed to improve on and Rhia added everything was very positive with her experience.

Megan Mcmanus
Megan Mcmanus passed with our new starters instructor Kenny in Carlisle.
When looking for an instructor Megan wanted someone who was friendly, approachable and well informed as well as having good reviews. Other important factors were the instructors teaching methods. When learning to drive Megan said that after having lessons previously with another instructor she had expected to hate it but said that Kenny made it enjoyable and relaxed so Megans confidence grew and it was great. She added that her instructors teaching methods were brilliant and that she would definately recommend new starters as teaching methods and instructors are great. Megan also said she couldnt think of anything to improve our services but did note maybe the price but she said new starters were well worth every penny of the price.
