Hi I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Mike who after only a few lessons helped my son , Sam, pass his test today. Sam had been recommended to another instructor by all his friends, but he had two lessons with him and I also took him out a lot but then I was able to use the Bumpers voucher through the Groupon discount site and Sam then had lessons with Mike – who was brilliant. Sam loved his attitude, he was extremely helpful and the information he gave Sam in each lesson really, really helped. Our eldest son had 17 lessons with the AA and we were really dissapointed with the lack of progress in each lesson whereas with Mike it was fantastic – very constructive, efficient and Sam really enjoyed his time. So thank you Mike and thank you Bumpers – great service, we’ll certainly recommend you!

If you feel nervous driving on your own, the PASS PLUS training can help you become more confident on the roads and give peace of mind to your loved ones.
PASS PLUS consists of six practical modules which cover driving in town, in all weathers, on rural roads, at night, on dual carriageways and on motorways. You can take it at any time within the first 12 month of passing your test.
There is no test at the end of it – your driving will be continually assessed.
All this for just £130
Motorway Driving
The difference between driving around town normally and the skills required to drive safely on the motorway where traffic is moving at great speeds are vastly different and to the inexperienced driver can be a frightening experience.
A bumpers course in motorway tuition is designed to take the fear out of motorway driving and will cover such elements as :-
Motorway signs and signals, getting on and off the slip roads, lane discipline, braking, overtaking, motorway roadwork’s and effective observation.
Contact us now to get you on the way to becoming a safer driver and learning the skills needed to travel safely on our motorways.
Foreign Licence Conversion
If your new to the UK, either as a visitor, temporary resident, student or as a new permanent resident you may need to take a UK Theory and Practical driving test.
If you’re a non EU licence holder, you may well need to convert to a UK licence within 12 months.:
To ensure continuous driving entitlement a provisional GB licence must have been obtained and a driving test(s) passed before a 12-month period elapses. If you obtain a provisional licence during this period, you are not subject to provisional licence conditions eg displaying ‘L’ plates or being supervised by a qualified driver or being precluded from motorways.
However, if you do not pass a test within the 12-month concessionary period you will not be allowed to drive as a full licence holder and provisional licence conditions will apply.
The rules are complicated, so please use the link below to see if you need a UK Licence.
