With the easing of the recent lockdown restrictions in Wales, lessons are booking up fast here at Progress School of Motoring. After weeks of being unable to take lessons and sit tests, learner drivers are keen to get their test booked in and hopefully pass now that Progress School of Motoring is once again open and on the road. The weeks that we have been closed has led to a large number of people wanting to get their tests booked in within a short amount of time and this means that driving lessons are booking up very quickly as we strive to get back on track.

A driving test can be a pretty stressful time. You will often find that when it comes to this test, some students can fail because they make some very basic mistakes. It’s often more to do with nerves than anything else - understandable in the circumstances.

Welsh Lockdown: Progress will be back on the road from the 9th November

If you know someone who is a learner driver, then they are getting started on an exciting chapter of their lives. This also means that you can give them a fantastic set of gifts to make the experience a great one!

We are pleased to report that we are back and ready to start driving lessons once again. So let’s dive right into when we will be rescheduling tests, when we can start giving lessons, and what cautions we have taken to keep you safe during COVID-19.

The UK has gone into lockdown over the COVID–19 virus, and sadly whether we like it or not driving lessons are not considered an essential service and we have for now stopped when lockdown started.

For a long time, the driving test has been a rite of passage. It has formed the basis for young and old alike to become part of an elite club - those with the knowledge and legal permission to drive. These tests take a whole selection of forms, but they could be set to change.

At the end of another busy and successful year, we want to start by saying congratulations to all our previous students and good luck to those that are with us. Many of them benefitted from our New Year offer, bagging themselves a free driving lesson; in fact, it was so popular that we have decided to offer it again this year. Begin your journey to a full driving licence, and your first lesson is on us.

Ahead of our charity event for Progress Youth this coming Saturday (1st June 2019), we look at why giving teenagers ages 14+ the exposure to a real driving instructor and the importance of road safety at a young age can mature them into safer drivers at 17.

Today at Progress School of Motoring, we explore the benefits of gaining driving experience at a young age - ahead of our launch event of Progress Youth with all proceeds going to Cancer Research UK. The launch event on the 1st June 2019, at Prestatyn Market, will see us hand over our car keys to teenagers aged 14+. Everyone is welcome to join us for what will be an insightful, fun day.
