Questions before you start?
If you cannot find the answer here, WhatsApp is the quickest way to ask.
When can I start learning?
Most people can start learning to drive a car at 17, once they have a valid provisional licence. If you are unsure, send a WhatsApp message and we can talk it through.
Do I need any driving experience?
Not at all. Lessons can start from the very beginning, or pick up from the skills you already have.
Do I need a provisional driving licence?
Yes. You must have the correct, valid provisional driving licence for the vehicle before taking lessons. Check the GOV.UK guidance on learning to drive a car if you are unsure or need to apply.
Why do you need my postcode?
Pass-Time is based in Marple and serves selected surrounding areas. Your postcode lets David quickly confirm whether he can offer lessons and arrange a suitable pick-up point.
What availability should I send?

Do you teach manual or automatic?
Pass-Time currently provides manual driving lessons.
What if I need to cancel a lesson?
Please give David at least 24 hours notice if you cannot attend a booked lesson.
