Booking Driving Lessons in Preston
Preston has different traffic conditions, ranging from crowded city centre roads to quieter suburban streets. If you're looking to get your driver's license quickly, you may want to consider taking an intensive driving course. This option is faster than the traditional way of learning to drive, which can take months or even years. We can help you get on the road in just a few days or weeks, instead of months. Learn more about our range of flexible crash courses and discover why it's great to learn with PassMeFast.
Learning to drive can be challenging, but beginner driving lessons in Preston can provide new drivers with a solid foundation to become safe and responsible drivers. By focusing on the fundamental skills, road rules, and building confidence, beginners can progress steadily towards achieving their driving goals. If you're looking to become a skilled driver in Preston, look no further than PassMeFast!
One of the many choices a learner will have to make is between taking lessons in a manual car or learning in an automatic. The pros of learning in an automatic are its lack of gears and a clutch pedal, which many learners can find easier to deal with. However, many people make the mistake of thinking that automatic cars are easier. In truth, it’s no easier to learn in an auto than it is in a manual—and you certainly won’t get a guaranteed pass from learning in an automatic car. If you decide that automatic is right for you, however, then that’s great—PassMeFast offers crash courses in both manual and automatic cars, meaning that you have the freedom to choose!
When weighing up between intensive driving courses and hourly lessons, learners might think they’re having to choose between an inflexible, one-size-fits-all 5-day course and lessons that might take months (or years!) to complete. It can feel a bit like being stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Luckily, with PassMeFast, you can break free from all of that. We’re a driving school that does intensive driving lessons differently. With us, you have the choice between nine different courses, ranging from five hours up to forty-eight hours in length.
No matter which you choose, you’ll still get the same high quality of service, including a dedicated office team who will look after all the admin for your course, a fast-track practical test, which will take place weeks (or even months) ahead of the standard waiting times, and a local DVSA-registered driving instructor.
Learning with us is delightfully fuss-free—and it starts here. Call us on 0333 123 4949, or click the button below to start your booking.

Practical Driving Test Centres in Preston
Picture it: your lessons are at an end, you’re poring over the statistics covering driving test pass rates by area, and you’re experiencing more than a few test day nerves. It can only mean one thing: your practical test is here. Most learners in this area will be taking their test at the conveniently located Preston driving test centre, with alternative centres to be found in Chorley and Blackburn with Darwen.
And did you know almost 9 in 10 people pass their driving test in the first three attempts? That’s why we’ve introduced PassProtect — giving you three attempts for the price of one.
Theory Test Centres in Preston
Don’t make the mistake of thinking that your practical test is the only thing that matters—your theory test is just as important. Luckily, learners in the Preston area can head to the nearby Preston theory test centre, which is located in the city centre itself. If you decide to look further afield, then you may also wish to consider the theory test centres in Wigan or St Helens.
PassMeTheory is an online theory revision session, where we go over the most difficult areas of the test. 9 out of 10 people said they felt more confident about their test after their session.

Driving around Preston
If you’ve taken a look at the location of the Preston test centre on a map, you’ll notice that it has a convenient city centre location. There are some pros to this: notably, that it’s very easy to reach by public transport (though with home and workplace pickups available, you shouldn’t need to worry too much about this!). However, this also means you’ll need to keep your wits about you, as it means that you can expect to encounter all the usual hazards that can appear in urban areas, including pedestrians and cyclists.
Nonetheless, students with PassMeFast have the advantage of learning alongside some great instructors, who will teach you not only how to pass your test, but also to gain skills such as defensive driving, which will help you to deal effectively with static and developing hazards on a daily basis. If you’re looking to become a great driver for life, then look no further!

In the past, it was quite common for learners to have a one hour driving lesson once a week. This trend has changed now, with lots of learners preferring a more intensive approach, in other words a crash course.
This works differently for different people, but it usually means you'll be doing longer lessons, lessons that are more than once a week, or a combination of the two. PassMeFast works around your schedule and needs, so you can let us know what you're looking for when you book your course.

Nobody can guarantee that you pass a driving test. The DVSA runs driving tests in the UK, and they hire examiners who decide whether you've passed or failed. Examiners can't be influenced, so it all depends on how you perform on the day. A company offering a guaranteed pass is usually being deceptive and there will be various clauses hidden in the terms and conditions.
If you've not been behind the wheel before, 20 hours of lessons is unlikely to be sufficient to get you test ready. The DVSA state that on average a candidate who passes their test has taken 48 hours of professional lessons, as well as completed 20 hours of private practice. So a 20 hour course is only suitable for a learner who has already had at least 20 - 30 hours behind the wheel. Try our course recommender to understand what the best course is for you.
