Right now, there are millions of people living and working in the UK for whom English is not their first language. Traditionally, this is an issue that could have made driver tuition and obtaining a driving licence difficult. Today, individuals who consider English their second language needn’t see driver tuition as a daunting prospect.
Instead, it’s simply a case of choosing a proactive and forward-thinking driving school that welcomes learners from all backgrounds. If English isn’t your first language or you simply do not feel confident about your English language skills, we’d be delighted to hear from you.
Qualifying for a UK driving licence doesn’t mean first studying for an advanced qualification in the English language itself. Instead, you simply need a good enough grasp of the language to pass your driving theory test and understand the most important written and verbal road safety terms.
It is now a requirement that all practical driving tests are conducted in English or Welsh, but this doesn’t mean your language skills will be tested separately as part of the process.
There are many people who live and work in the UK who don’t speak English as their first language and learning to drive with an instructor who only speaks your second language can be a bit daunting.
Tackling Intimidation as a New Driver in a Foreign Country
Of course, we understand that it isn’t just learners who may feel intimidated driving on foreign roads. Irrespective of how long you’ve been living and working in the UK, you may have put off driving due to a lack of confidence.
In which case, a refresher driving course or specialist city centre driver tuition could be ideal for you. Most experts believe that all motorists could benefit from periodic refresher courses, which are perfect for anyone who lacks confidence on UK roads for any reason.
If you already hold a valid driving licence and would simply like to improve your confidence driving on UK roads, we’re standing by to take your call. Our flexible refresher classes and courses are tailored to suit the individual requirements of each driver we work with. From city centres to motorways to night-time driving to bad weather driving, we’ll help you build the confidence you need to enjoy every moment of your time out on the roads.
Combat Stress and Save Money
As an added bonus, it’s worth remembering that the additional driver tuition you take could also save you money. UK insurers often show preference to drivers who take their skills and confidence on the roads seriously, by offering them preferential rates.
In any case, becoming a safer and more confident driver will naturally help reduce wear and tear on your vehicle through better driving habits, while reducing your likelihood of being involved in an accident.
Whether you are ready to get started or simply considering the options available, we’d be happy to hear from you. Call or email the team at Manchester Driver Training anytime for more information.
