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.

Sam Clarkson
Congratulations to Sam Clarkson for passing with our instructor Stephen after doing the intensive driving days.
Sam found that when looking for an instructor he wanted someone with good reviews and pass rate, He also wanted an instructor that could offer him intensive lessons at a good cost. When learning to drive Sam had already had some lessons with a different instructor but found Stephens teaching methods were good with a variety of teaching methods. Sam has said he would recommend New starters driving school.
Thanks for your review Sam.
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.
Patrick White
I couldn't recommend Lynda more to anyone learning to drive. Lynda takes the time you need, very good to chat with and just cares about you passing your test, putting a lot of confidence in you and getting that confidence in yourself as well.
Lewis Dixon
1st time pass with John wills, he's an amazing instructor. He's very easy going and can have a laugh but does take your driving very seriously, he wants you to pass and learn off your mistakes. If you're nervous about starting to drive I really recommend John.
David Leigh
Congratulations David on passing with New starters driving school.
David took his lessons with the New starters instructor John Wardle and had previously been on our pre-learner site to gain experience before going onto the busy roads.
When choosing an instructor David wanted someone who was proffesional and who was up to date, he also wanted somewhere to practice before going onto the roads and with a good facebook feedback. When learning to drive david said it was good fun, more interesting and he learned more than he expected. His instructors teaching methods were brilliant and he said that the methods used to teach suited his needs. we asked David if he would recommend us and he replied, Yes definately learning to drive was fun, friendly and proffesional.
Adam Brown
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.
Adam reviewed New starters driving school and he had this to say............
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.

Congratulations Kim on passing your test with new starters driving schools instructor Kenny.
Kim passed her test in Carlisle with our instructor Kenny and had this to say............
When looking for an instructor Kim wanted someone who had easy to learn methods and that was value for money. Compared to what Kim had expected learning to drive was not as daunting as she thought. Her instructors easy to understand teaching methods helped Kim along the way and she said she would recommend new starters as there was a friendly, patient and relaxed learning atmosphere.
Thank you for reviewing us Kim
