Frequently Asked Questions
How many driving lessons do i need?
The number of driving lessons you’ll need is a personal journey, and it’s something that should be discussed with your driving instructor. At Adapt Driving School, we evaluate your current driving skills and work with you to create a learning plan tailored to your needs. Our instructors will provide honest feedback on how many lessons you’ll need to reach the level of proficiency required for the test.
In addition to regular lessons, we also offer mock driving exams designed to simulate the real driving test. These practice exams help ensure that you’re fully prepared for any scenario that could come up during the practical test. By covering all the potential road situations, you’ll feel confident and ready when it’s time to take the test.
Automatic or Manual?
A key decision you’ll need to make is whether to learn to drive in a manual or automatic car. Most of our students opt for manual transmission lessons because it gives them the flexibility to drive both manual and automatic vehicles. Choosing manual lessons means you can drive both types of cars once you pass your test.
On the other hand, if you choose to learn in an automatic car, you will be restricted to driving automatic vehicles only after passing your test. So, if you want the freedom to drive any car, opting for manual lessons is the way to go. Our instructors can help you decide which option is best based on your driving needs and preferences.
