Booking Intensive Driving Lessons in Bridgwater
If you’re looking to speed up the process of learning to drive, then we’re the driving school for you. Instead of languorous weekly lessons, our students learn by taking structured courses. This ensures that they build up their driving skills at a steady pace, rather than taking long breaks between lessons.
Don’t worry, though: we won’t make you choose between your lessons and the rest of your life! That’s because our courses can be taken at either a fully intensive or semi-intensive pace, depending on your preferences. Take our 25 hour course, for example: you could complete your lessons in just a 5 day turnaround, or spread things out over a few weeks.
Here in Bridgwater, PassMeFast is proud to work alongside local driving instructors to help you pass in either a manual or an automatic car. So, if you’re looking to take automatic driving lessons, we can help! Just make sure to select one of our automatic courses when you book in, and we’ll do the rest.
One thing that doesn’t change, however, is the quality of our service. No matter which option you go for, we guarantee that you’ll get one-on-one tuition from a local, DVSA-registered instructor. Meanwhile, our office team will be on hand to oversee your course, including sorting out all the admin for you. They’ll even fast-track your test to take place ahead of the usual waiting times!
PassMeFast’s courses are fully flexible and customisable, with all learners welcome—including those learning to drive with a disability.

Practical Driving Test Centres in Bridgwater
When it comes to the practical test, there’s good news and bad news for those living in Bridgwater. We’ll start with the negative: Bridgwater doesn’t have its own test centre. On the flip side, though, the fact that Bridgwater lies in the centre of Somerset gives it convenient access to all of the county’s test centres: Taunton, Weston-super-Mare and Yeovil are all within a short drive.
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 Bridgwater
Though history of the UK driving licence stretches all the way back to the 1930s, the theory test has only been a vital component since 1996. Nonetheless, you’ll need to pass it if you want to get your licence. So, it’s important to know where you can take it. The closest option for Bridgwater’s learners is Taunton, with alternatives found in Axminster, Yeovil and Bristol.
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.
Haven't taken your theory test yet?
Far from the cakewalk many make it out to be, the theory test is harder to succeed in than you may think. There’s definitely no guaranteed pass here! What’s more, without a valid theory test pass, you can’t book a practical. That’s why passing the theory in good time is crucial. To ensure your course goes as smoothly as possible, add a theory test onto your PassMeFast booking, and we’ll arrange it at a suitable time, date and test centre for you.
Driving Around Bridgwater
You may not realise it, but an area like Bridgwater is a perfect place for a novice driver to cut their teeth. That’s because it offers a real mix of roads: with quiet, residential areas, busy dual carriageways, and the M5 running just to the east, you’ll be able to sample the UK’s road system in microcosm within a short drive of your home. This means you’ll be well-prepared for virtually any route you could take—including the one you’ll face during your practical.
Of course, when it comes to the practical itself, you’ll need to head out of the Bridgwater area. For this reason, your instructor may well decide to mix things up by taking you to the location where your practical test will take place. They’ll also ensure that you gain useful local knowledge that could come in handy during the big day, from box junction rules through to how to tackle major junctions.

Intensive driving course options and features
Driving Schools in Bridgwater
Instead of learning to drive with an independent driving instructor, some people choose to learn with a driving school. Driving schools tend to offer a slower, more traditional approach to learning to drive than intensive course specialists like PassMeFast.
The major downside of the traditional 1- or 2-hour weekly lesson is that you don’t get to book a test until your instructor thinks you are ready — and with most test centres in Somerset being fully booked months in advance, you could end up waiting a long time (and wasting money on lessons to stop your skills from getting rusty while you wait).
PassMeFast works around you and your schedule, and your lessons will be at a pace that works for you in a modern, goal-focused way. PassMeFast is the faster and easier route to driving — we’ll do all the admin, our courses include a fast-tracked practical test date, and your driving instructor will pick you up from home or work.
Driving Instructors in Bridgwater
Most learners find driving instructors in Bridgwater by searching online or through a recommendation. Many instructors use social media or websites to advertise themselves and some are listed on the DVSA website.
