Improve your driving skills in as little time as possible, in a safe and enjoyable environment. With options to suit a complete beginner and someone with previous driving experience, I tailor each lesson to your ability.
Driving Lessons
You will need to pass a multiple choice theory test and hazard perception test before you take a 30-40 minute practical driving test. You can still learn to drive before or whilst you are studying for the theory and hazard perception.
Refresher
Refresher lessons are suitable to those that have:
- Passed their driving test but have not driven in some time.
- Been driving in another country and need to become accustomed to driving on the left.
- Full licence holders who just wish to update or improve their own driving skills, or a particular aspect (e.g. a specific manoeuvre).
- Been involved in an accident and wish to regain their confidence on the road again.
- Been banned from driving and need to retake their driving test.
Each course of lessons will be tailored around each pupil's individual needs.
Motorway
Motorway sessions are aimed at recently passed full licence holders and those fully licenced drivers, who require practical experience to gain confidence driving on UK motorways, particularly Smart motorways.
As of June 2018, learner drivers have been able to go on to a motorway during their course of normal driving lessons, provided they are accompanied by an approved driving instructor, are competent enough and the car is fitted with dual controls. Currently it is not part of the practical driving test and so driving on a motorway as part of your driving lessons is not compulsory. It is possible then that the first time you drive on a motorway is actually after you have passed your practical driving test. The thought of this can seem quite scary even to the most confident of new drivers!
On a motorway driving lesson you will learn how to: merge into the traffic flow of a motorway,
get up to speed, keep the correct following distance from other vehicles, overtake and exit the motorway.
You will also be taught about the road signs you will see and the lights and road markings to help you understand motorways better.
If you would like some assistance in motorway driving techniques, simply get in touch and we can arrange for a driving instructor to accompany you and design a course of motorway lessons specific to your needs. Motorway driving lessons are better done as 3 hour driving lessons to allow you to travel far enough to gain the required experience and allow for occasional traffic hold-ups.
Exchange an International Licence for a UK one
If you're not entirely confident with driving on the roads in the UK, there's an easy, sure-fire way to boost your confidence: a quick refresher course. As the name suggests, these courses are for people who just need a few hours or so to iron out their bad habits and get to grips with the more advanced aspects of driving. PassMeFast has three refresher courses to choose from—5 hours, 10 hours or 15 hours—depending on how much guidance you need with an experienced ADI. To book in, give us a call on 0333 123 4949 or book online.

Pass Plus
If you don't feel confident behind the wheel after passing your test and want to gain more experience, Pass Plus is perfect for you.
The six modules are:
Pass Plus is a practical training course that takes 6-8 hours. It's for drivers to improve their skills and drive more safely. Completing this course can help to reduce your car insurance rate. There is no test assessment in the Pass Plus course, instead your progress and learning is assessed in 6 different modules by your SSSOM instructor, who is registered to coach under the Pass Plus scheme.
Each module takes a minimum of 1 hour’s tuition, some modules may be taught theoretically rather than practically (due to location and weather). The course therefore should take a minimum of 6 hours and 3/4 of that time will be spent physically driving, but more time can be taken if necessary.
Once all modules have been completed, we will complete a form that is signed by both the pupil and instructor and sent to the DVSA for them to send you back your certificate, which includes a serial number. Many insurance companies may offer a discount for your car insurance if they can see you have had further driver training. However, at SSSOM we believe strongly that the main advantage for completing the Pass Plus course is to give you, the new driver, further skills, experience and confidence to drive not only independently but in more scenarios and situations that cannot always be offered at the learning to drive stage.

The six modules are:
• Town Driving
• Country Roads
• All Weather Driving
• Night Time Driving
• Dual Carriageways
• Motorways
All weather driving and night driving will vary according to the time of year and may have to be covered mostly theoretically.
If you have been learning to drive in a particular area, your SSSOM instructor may try to cover Pass Plus is a different, more unfamiliar location to allow the skills and benefits of studying Pass Plus to flourish.
The Pass Plus course can be structured around your lifestyle. As long as the 6-8 hours are completed, how it is achieved is left to the pupil and the instructor to decide, but it is better to be carried out within a week, but ideally within the period of a fortnight during the first 6 months of becoming a Full UK licence holder.
