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.
Jamie Carruthers
Jamie Carruthers of carlisle passed his test with John wardle, we asked Jamie if he could review us and he had this to say.
When Jamie was looking for an instructor they had to have the ability to get him through his test quickly, be friendly and able to have a laugh (Jamie passed in less than 2 months). Jamie said whilst learning to drive it was easier and more enjoyable than he thought it would be and his instructors teaching methods were spot on. He has said that he would recommend us because both the driving school and instructor were fantastic and he wouldnt improve on anything as everything was great.
Mark cottam
Mark cottam had intensive driving days with the new starters driving instructor Stephen, he said that when choosing an instructor they had to have an excellent pass rate and had to be local, he also added that experience was a factor when choosing an instructor. When learning to drive he had expected it to be difficult but when he got into the driving it was much easier than he had thought as Stephen made him feel comfortable and his teaching methods were easy to understand. Mark said he would recommend new starters to others as the price was fair and the communication was good, adding that he couldn't think of anything to improve the driving school.
