Driving Lessons in Carlisle - Start from the age of 14 to any age.
It's quite a scary place to learn to drive on today's busy road systems, especially with Carlisle's one way system - so why don't you start somewhere safer, with no traffic, so that you can learn to control a car before testing the roads.
New Starters Driving School has access to a full 60 hectare site with large tarmac area and road layout, just on the outskirts of Carlisle.
We can teach you how to set off safely, pull up safely, steer correctly, use the gears and clutch, engine breaking and even how to do a hill start all on your first lesson. With as little risk as possible as there's no other traffic.
You can come back and learn how to do T junctions and all your manouvers before risking the roads.
Our driving instructor, Stephen Philipson, is a fully qualified, DBS checked, DVSA approved driving instructor. He has been teaching for over 5 years with an excellent pass rate. So if you want, we would love it if you stayed with us when you venture out on the highways.
Like what we do?
We would love you to share your experiences you've had with New Starters Driving School.
Emma Blair
Congratulations Emma Blair on your first time pass in Carlisle with our instructor Stephen Philipson.
Emma started her lessons on our off road site before she was 17 and went on to pass with us. When looking for an instructor Emma wanted someone with a good pass rate, that was easy to get along with and had good teaching methods. Her driving experience was a lot easier than she had expected it to be due to her instructors teaching methods and she added his methods were really good. Emma added she would recommend new starters driving school as she was made to feel very confident in her driving (which definately showed on her test).
Thank you for your review Emma

Congratulations to Adam Brown who passed his driving test with New starters driving school, Adam passed with our instructor John Wardle and he also started his lessons on the Pre-learner site in Houghton Carlisle.

When choosing an instructor he wanted someone that he could start before he was 17 years old and he wanted someone with a good reputation. When learning to drive Adam found that there was a lot more to think about and do to make sure that you are a safe and everyone around you is safe. He found that John delivered every lesson with confidence and huge amounts of proffesionalism whilst keeping each lesson fun and safe. Adam has said that he would recommend New starters driving school and he said there was nothing to improve as we did everything right.
