Each student has the choice of learning driving lessons gradually or in a few weeks. Which one is best for you: Intensive Course vs Weekly Driving Lessons? The answer is no. It depends on how you learn, how much time you have, how much pressure you have during the learning process, and whether you can handle it. At Astra Driving School, we teach you both
There’s a quiet shift happening at driving schools across the UK. Fewer 17-year-olds reserving lessons the week they’re (able to be picked/able to participate), more people in their late twenties, thirties, and beyond finally getting round to it. Career changers, new parents, people relocating for work, people who simply never needed to drive until now. If you’re one of them,
Petrol pumps are not quite the ceremony of passage they used to be. More learners across the UK are asking to start their driving trip behind the wheel of an electric or gas/electric car, and honestly, it’s not surprising. Electric vehicles are quieter, smoother, and more and more common on UK roads, so it makes sense to learn on the

Motorway lessons can be overwhelming. Most experienced drivers also hesitate to drive on a motorway. New drivers and even the experienced ones avoid motorways. However, those who get their driving lessons attain the right confidence. In the past, New drivers would avoid the motorways completely as the concept of experiencing a 70mph carriageway, merging from a slip road, or managing
If you’re preparing for your UK driving test, you’ve probably heard mixed opinions about which maneuver is easier: bay parking or parallel parking. The truth is, examiners aren’t grading either one on how neatly you end up between the lines or behind a car. They’re grading how safely and confidently you get there. Understanding what a DVSA examiner is actually
For most learner drivers, three words can turn a calm test day into a nervous one: parallel parking. It has a reputation as the hardest manoeuvre on the driving test, but the truth is that it comes down to a handful of repeatable steps.
