Driving Lessons in Bourne


If only it were possible for there to be a driving test centre nearby when you are learning to drive.  My local town in Bourne Lincolnshire is a good example of being stuck in the middle of test centres.  Spalding had it’s test centre closed down some time ago, so Learners in Bourne have to choose between Peterborough and Grantham.

The reason why this is actually a bit of an issue, is because the range of driving conditions in Bourne are pretty limited when compared to the likes of Peterborough.  Look at how many dual carriageways there are around, or multi-laned roundabouts, multi-storey car parks, pedestrian crossings. 
Not a problem to start off with, in fact, quite useful for the first 5 hours, but after that, there is not much around that will be challenging you.  If you were to take all your driving lessons in Bourne for example, and then go to test in either Peterborough or Grantham, then I think you would be in for quite some surprise, as the road design and volume/speed of traffic are so different.

Where does this leave people who live in Bourne then?  Well there is some good news for you.  

Firstly, the DSA (Driving Standards Agency) do recognise this is a problem, and are currently trialling conducting driving tests in locations that are more common in communities eg Halfords.  Bourne actually doesn’t have a Halfords, but the fact that the DSA are making attempts to combat this problem is encouraging.

Secondly, I have designed my Intensive Driving Courses in Peterborough and Grantham so that you train where you will be tested.  So Learners in Bourne are still able to get driving lessons for £18/hour where they will be tested.

Lastly, in an attempt to make it more affordable for Learners in Bourne, I offer them 5 hours of driving lessons in Bourne for just £49.  This gives local residents the opportunity to ‘get driving’ in and around Bourne, and after that, the training can be in Peterborough or Grantham.  I do this because I appreciate that in order to train in Peterborough or Grantham, a Learner has to travel there first, making a 50 minute round trip.

If you know anyone wanting driving lessons in Bourne, be sure to +1 them this blog.... it will save them a lot of cash.  Call Tom on 07894 262 718.
