Learn to drive in Manchester

Manchester is often ranked as the UK’s biggest city after London, and it can certainly feel that way when you are learning to drive on its popular and often busy roads!

From the ever-popular city centre streets around Piccadilly Station, and from Whalley Range to the leafy streets of suburbs like Flixton, Manchester has plenty of challenges for learner drivers.

To help you with these complicated roads you need a driving instructor who helps instil safe skills but also confidence behind the wheel.

Bill Plant Driving School believes in helping Manchester’s learner drivers to pass their test as quickly and as affordably as possible, while consciously ensuring they are learning at the right pace, and in a manner that best suits them.

Finding driving lessons in Manchester doesn’t have to be difficult. With the right instructor, you’ll be navigating the busy roads of the city in no time. This makes us the right choice for both anxious learners and anyone who is already confident at driving in the Manchester area.

Awarding winning expertise

This personalised approach is one reason we were awarded the accolade of National Driving School of the Year 2023.

FAQs

How much do driving lessons cost in Manchester?

The cost of driving lessons in Manchester varies depending on the instructor in your area. Fill in the form, and you’ll get a quote in seconds from a Bill Plant Driving School instructor in Manchester. We offer discounts when you block book your driving lessons.

Do you teach driving test routes in Manchester?

Test routes aren’t made available to the public. The DVSA’s mission statement is ‘safe driving for life’ and that’s something we agree on. This means that while our lessons do incorporate the Manchester test area, our main focus is on improving your driving and your overall familiarity with the roads in Manchester. Your instructor will take you driving through areas of Manchester around your test centre, and help you learn what could be potential routes, but this is all part of your wider journey in learning to drive. There is never any guarantee that certain routes come up during your test, so the main focus is on improving your driving skills.

Which Manchester test centre should I choose?

While some test centres have better pass rates than others, we usually recommend taking your driving test at the centre nearest to you. This is because you’re likely to be driving on those roads more frequently. It also means you won’t have to book lengthy lessons to learn other Manchester test routes. If you choose a test centre that’s a long way from your home you may have to spend considerable time reaching it as part of your lessons.

Test Centre Locations in Manchester

Manchester has a number of different driving test centres. The location you take your Manchester driving lessons will generally dictate which centre you use, however, some instructors may suggest a different test centre based on the availability of tests.

There are several driving test centres in Manchester, but it is always best to book your test in an area that is familiar to you, to give yourself the best chance of success. Remember, you should only book your test when you are ready – don’t rush it!
