Who should teach me to drive?

The Driving Standards Agency strongly recommends that you take lessons from an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) and there is no doubt that this is the best and safest way to learn.
Any person who gives car-driving lessons for payment or reward must be registered with the Driving Standards Agency, and he or she is required to display an ADI identification certificate on the windscreen of the tuition car. To drive safely on today’s roads requires a higher standard of competence than in the past and the standard required to pass the Driving Test has increased to reflect this.

1st Call Driving Schools have a proven track record and have established themselves as a market leader in the delivery of professional driver training. All instructors are DSA approved and continuously checked and supervised by both the DSA and 1st Call management staff.
1st Call provides cost effective driver training in a safe and friendly environment. Founder Paul Atkinson is a former DSA Examiner and understands the needs of today's learner drivers.
Practising your driving
If you practise your driving with another qualified driver, they must have held a full EC/EEA Driving Licence for the category of vehicle being driven for at least three years. And they must be at least 21 years of age.
Also, unless they are an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI), they’re not legally allowed to charge for giving driving lessons or for accompanying a driver. And it’s also an offence to accept money for fuel unless you are an ADI.
Beware – anyone who does not comply with these requirements could be liable for a maximum fine of £1,000, discretionary disqualification or 3-6 penalty points (as could you, the learner driver).
