We are very happy that we will be able to get out on the roads and begin to start to drive again soon. We look forward to teaching people how to be confident and safe while driving a car, so we do actively encourage you to get in touch with us and confirm your position. There has never been a better time to re-commit to learning how to drive, as it is a useful skill that will give you many opportunities in the future. It won’t be long now until we can all get back out on the roads to start learning, so it’s important to be prepared and to reserve your place with us. We look forward to seeing you all soon.

The coronavirus pandemic has placed substantial demands on every aspect of normal life. For a lot of businesses, this has meant closure on account of not being a vital service, and many companies have not been able to sustain themselves during this period. We want to ensure you that the whole team here at Progress are supporting as many current and future students with advice and guidance as we can. If you would like to sign up for lessons, we can add you to our waiting list for when our wheels start turning again.

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.

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.

2020 is a new year and the start of a new decade. It is also the beginning of attempts to tackle some of the problems surrounding driving, which involves introducing new rules and regulations for all drivers starting from the 1st of January.

As you are no doubt aware, winter has arrived. We continue our winter safety campaign with some more winter-driving safety tips by Progress School of Motoring.

With the clocks about to go back and temperatures starting to fall it is safe to say winter has arrived. Winter driving requires a little more thought and preparation in order to stay safe.

When it comes to driving a car, you are in control of how fast you go. This means that if you break a speed limit, or you drive too fast, well then that is down to you. However, it is thought that by 2022 this could all change, thanks to a recent EU ruling.

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.
