Driving lessons in Thame
Thame and its nearby villages is excellent for all the basics of learner driving. So for the early stages of safely moving off and stopping, basic work on junctions and progressing through to various types of roundabouts, Thame is a really good town in which to practice. All of the manoeuvres that may take place on the driving test can be learnt and practiced very well locally.
With DG Motoring you benefit from a fully qualified DSA approved driving instructor - also a registered instructor with the Institute of Advanced Motorists - quality driving lessons for learner driving, Pass Plus and driving skills improvement.
Progress towards driving test standard
Once you are confident in driving within and around Thame the emphasis can shift to Aylesbury, usually the most convenient place to take the practical test. As you are probably aware there are a lot of roundabouts in Aylesbury - single roundabouts, double roundabouts and even a triple roundabout. With DG Motoring the driving instructor will help you develop the all round awareness and judgement of speed and distance that is necessary for safely dealing with these features.
The famous gyratory system in Aylesbury appears confusing at
first
sight, but when you have learnt basic procedures and have practised the
sequences that occur in the test routes in a few driving lessons, you
will soon gain confidence. To help things along the driving school
provides pupils with a gyratory sequence guide.
Bus stops and bus lanes also come into play. Some of
the bus
lanes cover a very short distance, so you need good lane discipline at
their beginnings and ends.
Facilities for bicycles have been added in a very inconsistent way in
Aylesbury, so you need to know how to deal with cycle lanes, or in some
cases, bicycles being directed by road markings onto
pavements. New road markings have recently been added to
upgrade the Gemstone Cycle ways.
Apart from that you will find the variety of road conditions including
dual carriageways, traffic lights, various lane markings and one way
roads that you will find in most large towns. The driving school will
help you to deal with them all.
Aylesbury test routes
Most driving tests organised by DG Motoring take place in Aylesbury, so the driving school is familiar with all the key features and driving test routes.
There are sixteen test routes in Aylesbury. It would not be sensible for the driving instructor to practice on all of them, but by selecting a relatively small number as part of the planned range of driving lessons it is possible to familiarise the learner with most of the tricky features they may encounter on test.
