What is a good driving lesson in Stamford

What does a good driving lesson in Stamford look like, how does it feel?  Is it about feeling more confident, or driving places you haven’t driven before, in weather you’ve not driven in before, or with a friend in the back chatting to you while you drive?  Is it all about not stalling once?  Take a look at this video to help answer what is a good driving lesson?

Taking driving lessons at this moment in your life, will be just that.....a moment on reflection in years to come.  Right now, at THIS very moment, with your busy diary and pressures on money, it is hard to see past the very next driving lesson, but try to believe me when I say, the skill you are developing now, is very likely to be used for practically every single day of every single year ....... FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.  What you are doing now, is literally just a moment in time.  You wont necessarily realise it, but the experience you are now going through is going to mould your driving experience for the rest of your life.

Close the door on the “noise” of modern life, cut the distractions for 30 seconds, and see things for what they are.  

This period of time right now, when you are learning to drive, is going to influence how well you drive, how considerate you are to other road users, how much control you have of the car, how well you will respond in an emergency situation, how comfortable you will feel parking in superstore car parks...... for the rest of your life.

My advice? 

Aim high. 

Please tell me down below, what a good driving lesson in Stamford feels like to you.

Booking a Driving Test in Spalding

I recently got a call from a resident in Spalding asking about booking a driving test in Spalding.  The driving test centre in Spalding was closed down a few years ago, leaving the two nearest choices as Peterborough or Boston.

As you can see from this video here, there is much to be gained from taking driving lessons in Spalding; it’s a great place to learn to drive and offers a wide range of driving conditions.  It has the new bypass to Peterborough with it’s national speed limit, it has very tight residential areas such as around Spalding Grammar School, and it has a good variety of roundabouts to navigate.  Emma from Bourne who is seen in the above photo, proudly showing her new driving licence, took the BIG TOM intensive driving course and loved it.

But, as I mentioned to this caller, unfortunately, you simply cannot book a driving test in Spalding any longer.   The caller has decided to go for Boston Test Centre next Monday, as it has much more availability for more recent driving test slots.  Peterborough Test Centre typically has a 4-6 week advance booking (although there are ways to overcome this problem, see here).

He does also have first hand knowledge of travelling in and around Boston which is a key consideration.  At Big Tom Driving School we specifically do NOT drive only on driving test routes; but it is very sensible to get yourself at least acquainted with the area in which you intend to take your driving test.  It is quite surprising how the driving conditions do vary between driving test centres across the UK, not just in terms of the road layout and designs, but also in terms of the quantity of foreign or elderly drivers, the amount of large lorries in the area, the landscape with steep hills can make a difference, and university cities often will have more cyclists for example.

So as unfortunate as it is for residents of Spalding that they can no longer book a driving test in Spalding, all is not lost – there is a driving test centre within about half an hour drive from Spalding, and my advice would be to take the time to familiarise yourself with the area.
