What do I need before I start learning to
drive?
You will require a provisional licence; your local post office should have the
required application form. You will also need two passport size photographs of
yourself to send off with the form.
 Who can teach me to
drive?
Only an approved Driving Standards Agency instructor may accept payment for
giving driving lessons. A fully qualified A.D.I (Approved Driving Instructor)
will display a green licence in the windscreen of the car. A trainee instructor
may also teach for payment and he or she will display a pink licence.
How good is my instructor?
Driving instructors are graded with checks on their ability every few years.
Grade B is a good instructor. Grade A is an excellent instructor. We have ONLY
grade A instructors in our driving school. A fully qualified driving Instructor
is called an ADI a trainee Instructor is called a PDI - we do not employ
trainee's at Talbot.
 How many lessons will I need?
Many factors come into this: experience of cycling, motorbikes, driving
practice with relatives and, of course, your age. As we get older tasks do not
come as easy as when we are young. The DSA recommends 40 - 45 hours before
being ready for the test. But everyone has his or her own pace and we will help
you make progress as quickly as possible.
What happens on my first lesson?
The instructor will meet you at your home or a place of your choosing.
Following a friendly introduction and welcome, he or she will ask to see your
provisional driving licence. Your instructor will then ask you to read a car
number plate at the required distance of 67 feet (20.5 metres) with glasses if
worn. If this is your first lesson, you may prefer the instructor to start your
lesson away from home and in a quiet location. Our staff are friendly and
patient, their aim is to see you progress in your driving as fast and as safely
as possible. So relax and enjoy yourself.
 What type of car will I be driving?
Our fleet of cars are all fully equipped with dual-controls and have been
chosen for their suitability, reliability, good all-round vision and ease of
driving.
What happens at the end of the lesson?
Your instructor will discuss your progress with you and advise you on the next
step. He or she will maintain your progress records, as well as booking your
future driving lessons with you.
How much will lessons cost?
