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.
Adam Kenny
Well done Adam Kenny who passed his driving test first time with John Wardle at new starters driving school.
Adam started on our pre learner site in Houghton. When looking for an instructor Adam wanted someone who was reliable and proffesional and somewhere to start driving before he went out onto the busy road systems. When learning to drive Adam had thought it was going to be easier but he found his instructors teaching methods very good. Adam also added that he would definately recommend New starters as the service was excellent, He had nothing he could think of to improve our services.
Thank you for your review adam and safe driving.

Megan Mcmanus
Megan Mcmanus passed with our new starters instructor Kenny in Carlisle.
When looking for an instructor Megan wanted someone who was friendly, approachable and well informed as well as having good reviews. Other important factors were the instructors teaching methods. When learning to drive Megan said that after having lessons previously with another instructor she had expected to hate it but said that Kenny made it enjoyable and relaxed so Megans confidence grew and it was great. She added that her instructors teaching methods were brilliant and that she would definately recommend new starters as teaching methods and instructors are great. Megan also said she couldnt think of anything to improve our services but did note maybe the price but she said new starters were well worth every penny of the price.
Thank you Megan for your review and we look forward to seeing you out and about on the roads.
Millie Haugh
I loved learning to drive with John W, I passed my test just 3 months after my 17th birthday, I had also done off road lessons with John prior to turning 17 which really helped me pass my test as quick as I did.

Congratulations Matthew on passing with our instructor John wardle. Matthew had this to say about his experience.............
When learning to drive matthew started on our pre learner site in Carlisle. He wanted an instructor with a good reputation and a high pass rate. When learning to drive Matthew had thought it would have been easier but when he got used to driving he felt more comfortable, he found his instructors teaching methods were very clear and friendly and he would recommend us as he could see his improvements on every lesson. Matthew added that the only thing he would have improved on was that he would have liked to have done his manouvres earlier.
