Your Driving Lessons in Leeds

At Learn Driving UK, we start you off in “nursery areas” on quiet housing estates close to where you live. We move on to busier junctions, roundabouts, traffic lights, dual carriageways and rural roads at a pace which suits you. Expect to carry out a reverse manoeuvre exercise and possibly an emergency stop (1 in 3 tests only) on the driving test, which lasts around 35 – 40 minutes.

Whatever level of driver you are, your Learn Driving UK instructor will start your lessons in an area in which you can cope with the traffic conditions. There are dozens of residential estates in Leeds where your early lessons can begin. You will practice in both urban and rural areas and a variety of road types: single and dual carriageways, country lanes, one-way streets, and the Leeds inner and outer ring roads.

Manual and Automatic Driving Lessons in Leeds

For many people automatic driving lessons are a better option for the following reasons:

• There are two less controls to worry about
• There is no clutch pedal so controlling the car when moving off is much easier – no biting point!
• No gear changes means one less thing to think about when approaching junctions and when speeding up and slowing down. The car does all that for you.

No gear changes also means you can keep both hands on the steering wheel. Which helps with more accurate steering and positioning of your car

Driving Test Centres In Leeds

Thankfully, neither of the test centres has routes incorporating the Leeds city centre. However, both are close to very busy and complex dual carriageways which you must feel confident on prior to taking the driving test.

Horsforth Test Centre: Woodside House, 261 Low Lane, Horsforth, Leeds, LS18 5NY

Situated in Northwest Leeds, Horsforth test centre is on a busy street within 400 metres of the Leeds Ring Road (A6120). The Ring Road splits the area in two. To the North, test routes incorporate the A660 Otley/Skipton road using areas of Lawnswood, Bramhope and Tinshill. The A658 (Bradford/Leeds road) is also popular in the areas of Leeds/Bradford Airport, Rawdon and Calverley.

To the South of the Ring Road, experience of the A65 towards Kirkstall, Burley and Headingley areas is vital.

Test candidates should park on Low Lane on test day as there is no car park. The Centre has wheelchair access and male, female and accessible toilet facilities.
