Though a quick comparison of manual and automatic pass rates reveals that autos aren’t necessarily easier to drive overall, this transmission can be a godsend for those struggling with a couple of sticking points in particular: clutch control and gear changes. So, want to go auto? Select it as your transmission when you book!
We’ll also pair you up with one of our DVSA-registered instructors based in the Ipswich area, and guarantee that all of your lessons will be taught one-on-one in a dual-control car. You’ll work together with your instructor to tackle any weak spots and build up experience with the manoeuvres that feature on your driving test.

Driving Around Ipswich
No matter what time of year you take your test, the types of roads you’re likely to encounter on the big day will be very similar. To help you get used to things ahead of time, your instructor will balance your lessons between time spent closer to your pickup point and roads that commonly appear on your test routes. This way, you’ll feel confident going into your practical.
If you’re taking your test here in Ipswich, be aware that the local test centre is found to the south-east of the town itself, in the Warren Heath area.

Intensive driving course options and features
Driving Schools in Ipswich
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 Suffolk 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.

Most learners find driving instructors in Ipswich 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.

FAQs
There isn't a hard and fast rule on how many practical driving lessons you need in order to pass your driving test. Everyone is different, and some people need more, whilst other people learn quickly and can pass their test with fewer lessons.
However, the DVSA recommends that each person takes 45 hours of professional driving lessons and 22 hours of private practice before taking a driving test.
