I am enjoying learning to drive, and you are part of that. My instructor is a fantastic, very patient, understanding and reassuring.
Sarah Hanslip, Park Gate
What stood out for me as the overwhelming positive factor about Bumpers was my instructor (Graeme – Southampton). I really enjoyed learning with him, the tuition was friendly, professional and very comprehensive. He was an extremely competent teacher, I felt completely safe, comfortable and confident on the road. He was flexible in organising lessons and I adaptable to my rate of learning. The lessons where very well structured, I was given a breakdown and targeted advice at the end of each lesson. He was very aware of my individual issues…”

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.
