Car Safety Re-calls, Driving Test Refused

Thousands of cars can be effected by manufacturer re-calls for safety checks. If you arrive in such a car for your driving test without the required check your test will not proceed.

Your intensive driving course in Bristol with us will not be delayed with this issue as we use Ford Fiesta cars less than 2 years old with full ford servicing and checks carried out.
Intensive Driver Training

Learner Drivers allowed on MOTORWAYS from 2018

Learner drivers will be allowed to take motorway driving lessons with an approved driving instructor in a car with dual controls from 2018.

Your Intensive Driving Course in Bristol / Bath with Intensive Driver Training can include this training from the commencement date in 2018

Allowing learner drivers to have lessons on motorways will help to make sure more drivers know how to use motorways safely.
At the moment, you can only have driving lessons on motorways after you’ve passed your driving test. Some newly-qualified drivers take lessons through the voluntary Pass Plus scheme.

How the change will work

The change will apply to England, Scotland and Wales.
Learner drivers will need to be:

• accompanied by an approved driving instructor
• driving a car fitted with dual controls

Any motorways lessons will be voluntary. It will be up to the driving instructor to decide when the learner driver is competent enough to have a motorway lesson.
Trainee driving instructors won’t be allowed to take learner drivers on the motorway.

Motorway driving will not be included in the driving test changes coming into force on 4 December 2017.

The change will only apply to learner drivers of cars - learner motorcyclists won’t be allowed to have motorway lessons.
For  a small addition fee your Intensive Driving Lessons in Bristol or Bath can include this training.

When the change will happen

The exact date in 2018 will be confirmed nearer the time.
The change will be well-publicised so driving instructors and learner drivers are prepared for the change, and other road users know what to expect. The Highway Code rules on motorways will also be updated.

Until the law is changed, it’s still illegal for a learner driver to drive on a motorway.

Driving instructor vehicles and training

Driving instructors will be allowed to decide whether or not to keep their driving school roof-top box on during motorway lessons, based on the manufacturer’s instructions.
However, the car will still need to display L plates on the front and rear if the rooftop box is removed.

NEW CAR TAX RULES

As an information service Intensive Driving Courses Bristol are providing this update

NEW CAR TAX RULES - Will I be affected?

Under the new rules only electric and hydrogen cars will be exempt - and all other cars will pay a flat rate of £140.

The amount of carbon dioxide in a car’s exhaust gases is calculated using a standard European test and published in every brochure.

And the results show the average amount of carbon dioxide produced for every kilometre that a car drives.

Carbon dioxide is measured in grams, so the results are written as g/km CO2.

A car emitting 99g/km bought before April 1 will be free of road tax for life.

Those bought after the date will cost £120 in the first year, and £140 a year thereafter.

Cars emitting 131g/km will be taxed £200 instead of £130, those emitting 151g/km will be charged £500 instead of £180, and cars emitting 171g/km will be charged £800 instead of £295, while those emitting 191g/km will be charged £1,200 instead of £490.

The highest possible charge will continue to apply to those emitting over 255g/km, but that will rise from £1,100 to £2,000.

However, those buying high-polluting cars may even break even, with tax set higher in the first year and subsequently falling every year after that.

Intensive Driving Courses in Bristol and Bath

Driving Lessons in Bristol and Bath

Learning to drive in the UK is a high priority task for most young people and can be achieved in a variety of ways.

Historically, driving lessons have been booked by the hour with perhaps one or two sessions per week. Typically learning by this method might take around 50 or so hours of tuition with a professional driving instructor and often supplemented by going out with parents. Consequently this process would be spread over a number of months.

Many learners are now turning to an intensive driving course to enable them to complete this process and pass the driving test in a couple of weeks. Pass rates are often substantially higher

Intensive driving courses are conducted in the Bristol and Bath areas by Intensive Driver Training who offer a range of intensive driving course formats for all abilities and aptitudes.
