Practice, Practice, Practice!

It can take around 20 hours for the average learner drive to pass their driving test, and that’s without the driving lessons! As long as you are accompanied by anyone over the age of 21 who has held a driving license for at least 3 years, you can practice driving between lessons. Just make sure that you’re both insured to drive the vehicle you’re practising in! Only stick to what you have covered, but remember that it will come in time. Why not ask your instructor about what to practice?

Safe driving from Britannia!

Simulator – Eye Test

We have an amazing simulator on our website which will test your skill of being able to read a clean number plate.The law states that driver’s must be able to read a clean number plate at 20.5 meters in good daylight. Most people are able to do this with ease but it’s a good idea to make sure you can.

Every effort has been made to make the Britannia Driving School Simulator as accurate as possible but it’s not a substitute for an Eye Test by a professional optician. If you have any issue or doubt about your eyesight, please get your sight tested and examined by an optician before continuing or learning to drive.

Instructions: Keep both eyes open. For 56cm width screen sit at 112cm. For 33.5cm wide screen sit 67cm. For a 30cms wide screen sit at 60cms. Pro rata for other sizes, (screen width measured). If you wear spectacles for driving, you should of course be wearing them for this test as well.

Let us know how it went!

Safe driving, from Britannia!

Worried About Being A Non UK Driver?

If you have never driven in Britain before, it is a good idea to take a refresher driving course with us to familiarise yourself with the road systems and traffic signs. Have a look at our lessons and prices.

Subject to certain conditions, you can drive in the UK for 12 months with a valid driving licence issued in another country, and age requirement of 17 years.

Here is a customer’s comment:

“I did not feel confident driving on the left hand side of the road when I first came to the UK from Hungary. Motorway driving and roundabouts were bewildering. I took a course of lessons with Britannia Driving School to gain confidence and experience in a dual-controlled car. The driving went a long way to make my driving in the UK more confident and enjoyable.” Mrs G C Kajel.

Tips You Need To Know – Eco Driving

Would you consider buying an ‘eco friendly’ vehicle? Eco driving is becoming more and more popular as research in the UK has shown that eco driving can save between 5 and 17 percent of fuel – and also cut emissions.

In a eco friendly car, you keep the CO2 emissions down and positively, with eco driving, you’re not creating unnecessary pollution. A few tips for eco driving:

-Use the air conditioning sparingly.

-When you start the engine, don’t keep it idling to heat up the engine. This wastes fuel and should not be necessary if you drive off gently and smoothly.

-Most effective way of eco driving: consider car-sharing for some journeys.

Britannia Driving Schools instructors are fully trained and experienced in safe eco driving so as us any questions. If you care about the environment and your car you should definitely have a think about changing.

Safe driving from Britannia.
