Five Benefits of Learning to Drive in Manchester

Is it better to learn to drive in certain areas of the country than others? If you’ve the luxury of choice, can it be beneficial to select one location for your driving lessons over another?

The short answer is yes, though not for the reasons you may think.

On the surface, you’d be forgiven for thinking that learning to drive out in the countryside on the UK’s quietest roads would be the way to go. In reality, learning to drive in a busy city like Manchester can actually be advantageous in many ways.

Not convinced? Here are just five of the many benefits of learning to drive in Manchester:

1. A More Realistic Experience

Learning to drive on quiet country roads is one thing, but what happens the first time you hit frantic and complicated city centre traffic? You panic and fall to pieces…is the usual response. By contrast, learn to drive in a city like Manchester and you benefit from a more realistic driving experience from start to finish. By the end of your course, you’re primed and ready for the real world of driving – not just quiet country lanes where you’re the only driver in sight.

2. Flexible Options Available

As Manchester is home to some of the biggest and best driving schools in the country, there’s huge flexibility in terms of the options available. Whether planning on learning to drive gradually over the course of the year or you’d prefer to have your hands on your licence within two weeks, you’ll find your needs covered at a price you can afford.

3. Perfect for Pass Plus

If you decide to take the Pass Plus course after passing your driving test (which you should), Manchester is the perfect place to improve your confidence and competencies. Motorway driving, dual carriageway driving, busy city driving, night driving and so on – all you need to become a better driver (and save money on your insurance) is right there on your doorstep.

4. Competition Breeds Quality

In any city where there are dozens (or even hundreds) of driving schools all competing for your attention, upping the ante quality-wise is the only way to get back. Across Manchester, driving school quality standards are at an all-time high and continue to improve all the time. Tutors and driving schools are constantly striving for superior performance and the utmost in quality tuition, directly benefiting those who use their services. Nevertheless, comparing online reviews is essential, in order to ensure the driving school you choose is a genuine standout.

5. Outstanding Driving Instructors

Last but not least, Manchester is home to some of the most experienced and capable driving instructors in the country. Finding the right instructor is one of the most important aspects of learning to drive – something you’ll have no problem with, in Manchester.
