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.

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.

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.

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.

After all our hard work and determination to ensure that we always provide the very best service to every single person who wants to learn how to learn to drive, we are being recognised.

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.
