FAQs

Common questions

Which test centre will I use?

+

Most of Clive's pupils take their test at Northampton test centre on Gladstone Road. You can book any centre you like, so talk to Clive before you book.

Why are lessons two hours?

+

In a one hour lesson, the chat at the start and the debrief at the end eat into your driving time. Two hours gives you a proper drive.

Do you teach manual?

+

No, Clive teaches automatic only. If you pass in an automatic, your licence lets you drive automatic cars.

WhatsApp Clive

While Clive's teaching, his attention is on the pupil in the car, so it can take a few hours to hear back. He'll reply properly, usually within one working day.
