If would like to read about us in more detail, then here is the information on why YOU need to choose 1st 4 Driving as your driving school for driving lessons.

You need a driving school in your area that you can trust, and one that is backed by strong foundations and correct and proper teaching, which is not often found in most other driving schools. You need to know that the driving school you choose will get you through your driving test at a pace to suit you and not waste your valuable money and time. Driving lesson price can not necessarily guarantee all this.

While it’s true that the most expensive is not necessarily the best, it’s probably true that the cheapest won’t be. Buying driving lessons in Portsmouth is a life skill and something that shouldn’t be chosen by picking the cheapest driving lessons around. Your driving instructor needs to be honest and needs get you to where you want to be in a time frame that suits you. Therefore, what you want is the independence of driving on your own as soon as possible and as cheaply as possible. That’s where we come in.

  • 1st 4 Driving was established in 2000 and incorporated in 2005, so you know we’re here to stay for you.
  • We get you on the road to independence quicker with our proven systems.
  • While not the cheapest initially, we will save you £££s in the long run by reducing the overall amount of lessons you take.
  • Our high first-time pass rate ensures you don’t waste money on extra driving tests and driving lessons in Hastings.
  • Nobody really wants driving lessons or driving tests, you want to be driving your own car independently. That’s what we can do for YOU!

FULL, FREE theory training

All 1st 4 Driving pupils in Exeter are entitled to full, free access to our online theory training app.

Our app, Total Drive’s Theory Test Suite is proven to make you twice as likely to pass your theory test, meaning it’s a really helpful application for all learners. After your first lesson, you’ll receive a login and you’ll have access to an unlimited amount of mock-tests. This includes practice on the multiple-choice section, as well as the hazard perception test.

You’ll be able to brush up on the theory on the sofa using your laptop, or download the app onto your phone to get some crucial practice on the bus or on your lunch break!

It won’t be long before you’re acing your theory test in Exeter at the test centre on New North Road.

Friendly, reliable instructors

Had a bad experience with a driving instructor? Heard some horror stories from your friends? Think that all driving instructors ‘shout’?

Not all driving schools were created equal.

Our driving instructors in Exeter are friendly, always on time and they will never ‘shout’ at you. We hear so many horror stories about instructors from other driving schools being rude, abrupt, and even raising their voice. This does not encourage learning and doesn’t make learning to drive fun in any way.

When you book driving lessons in Exeter with us, each lesson will be fun, productive and you’ll learn new skills that will help you for life. Not just for the test day.

Don’t just take our word for it…

We pride ourselves on our great reviews from pupils.

Would highly recommend Damon. He is an amazing instructor and the first time I got in his car it felt like I knew him for years. Managed to pass with only 1 minor first time thanks to him. He’s calm, clear and puts you at ease straight away. Would recommend to anyone.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ethan, Exeter

 

 

 
I had lessons with Damon September to December and passed my test first time with only two minors, which felt pretty awesome 😁 Damon was the best instructor I could have and I recommend him to all my friends. He was very flexible with lesson times for me and dropping me off at places. He was very knowledgeable and helpful as well as being calm in stressful situations. Plus he was really fun to have lessons with and part of me is sad I’m no longer having lessons with him 😅.

Learning to drive in Exeter made fun

Unlike most driving schools, we’ve been helping people in Exeter pass their driving test for years. We literally know Exeter like the backs of our hands.

From the main test routes to those tricky back roads and the busy city centre, your driving instructor will make sure that you’re fully prepared for your driving test and a life of driving beyond that. Exeter is also really well connected to other parts of the country, meaning it’s a great place to learn to drive. The A30 and A38 dual carriageways running through Devon and Cornwall are a great practice ground for the faster roads, and you’ll eventually be ready to tackle the M5 motorway heading north.

Did you know – we also cover Crediton.

Our instructors in the area are Exonians through and through (unlike the big national schools) and will be able to help you with any local transport knowledge. You’ll master all the tricky roundabouts, junctions and the area around the test centre on Thorverton Road in Marsh Barton.
