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.

Beckie Dalgarno
I loved learning with Jackie Stubbs, she helped me so much not only with learning to drive but driving whilst handling my ADHD and anxiety. I would definitely recommend Jackie if you struggle with these. So happy to have passed my test.
Lucy Abbott
Well done to Lucy Abbott who passed her driving test today in Carlisle with her instructor John Collins.
Lucy reviewedus here at new starters and had this to say......
When looking for an instructor the most important criteria for Lucy was being able to get a head start on our off road site, other important factors were the recommendations from others. When learning to drive Lucy found it easy after doing her pre learner lessons and found her instructors teaching methods very good. Lucy has already recommended us and the only thing she added may improve our services was text mesage reminders for lessons.
Thank Lucy for your review and safe driving from us all at new starters
Lewis Pearce
Congratulations Lewis who passed first time with our intensive days in Carlisle with Stephen Philipson.
Lewis was recommended from his sister who had previously passed with Stephen as she said he came highly recommended and he had already heard positive things about new starters driving school. When learning to drive Lewis said it wasnt as nerve racking as he had thought it would be and he felt at ease with his instructors teaching methods and found Stephen to be an excellent instructor. Lewis has already been recommending new starters because of the service he received and excellent experience.
Thank you Lewis for your review of our services.
