Welcome to ADS Driving School...
PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR PRICES ARE LIKELY TO INCREASE EARLY 2024

Please be aware that due to recent events we will only take you to a test when we feel you are ready to pass. This is not for us to get more hours out of you but as ADI ‘s each time we get a fail by the test centre this is put down against our licence and in turn will bring our standard checks forward.
DVSA suggest the average hours for someone to be test ready is 40 to 60hrs of driving experience this can include your own car.
The instructor will give you plenty of notice and explain to you the reasons why they feel you are not test ready and this will be in enough time for you to either move your test or cancel it. If you do decide to move your test then the new date MUST be agreed with your instructor prior to booking and you will be advised on an approx number of hours you may need to get you to the required standard.
If you miss any lessons then be prepared that you maybe told to move your test or cancel it.
We are here to help you but you must have the ability to be a fully independent driving at least 2 to 3 lessons before your test.
The final decision for you test will be that of your instructor.
