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.

We would love you to share your experiences you've had with New Starters Driving School.

Amy Veitch
Congratulations Amy who passed first time.
Amy started on our pre learner driving site in Houghton and after doing 2 lessons her she quickly moved onto the roads.
When looking for an instructor Amy found the most important criteria was the price and the instructors availability and flexibility with lessons. Amy found driving as she had expected and the learningh was quick and a reasonable price. Her instructors teaching methods were very good and Amy enjoyed moving on from different subjects promptly, She would recommend new starters as the organisation, lesson times and course was good and Amy also dded that she would have liked 1 or 2 practice tests prior to tha practical test and the show and tell questions to have been done in her own car.
Thank you Amy.
