Learning to Drive

Before learning to drive you will need your provisional licence, if you have not got one you can apply online using the link to the right.

Learning to drive can be difficult, but lessons should always be enjoyable. Only a fully qualified instructor has the expertise and knowledge to guide you to success. But how do you know if an instructor is fully qualified or not?

This is an easy thing to check for, ask to see the instructor's certificate of registration, which should be placed in the bottom left-hand corner of the windscreen (near to where the tax-disc is). A fully qualified instructor's certificate is a green octagon, a trainee's certificate is a pink triangle.

BEWARE! There are many trainees around, the sad thing is only about 30% of these trainees go on to fully qualify.

How many lessons you will need is a very difficult question to answer. Private practice helps reduce the number of lessons required and I can advise when you are ready. As a rough and ready figure I would say about 45 hours without private practice and about 30 hours with private practice.

Learning to drive should be fun. If you are enjoying your lessons you will learn much better To this end I will endeavour to make all lessons fun with a professional approach to learning to drive.Above all, I want all pupils to feel at ease whilst learning and not see lessons as a chore!!

The Driving Instructor

My name is Wayne Yorke, I am a fully qualified Driving Standards Agency Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) working in the Knottingley area, and a member of the Pontefract Driving Instructors' Association.

  • I have a laid back approach to instruction
  • I keep calm in all situations ( I DON’T SHOUT! )
  • I teach in a confident positive manner

Making mistakes is part of learning to drive and you will find me very understanding, never raising my voice. I identify faults and then constructively rectify them making allowance for your level of experience.

Your confidence is my priority and I will go to great lengths to keep it intact so you progress quicker and feel good about your driving.

The Learner Car

The car I use is a new Vauxall Corsa diesel.

Not to put too fine a point on it, this is the perfect car to learn to drive in. It's medium sized, with a medium sized engine, and has all the usual refinements you would expect, such as power steering, air conditioning and anti-lock brakes.

It's a completely standard car except for the addition of dual controls, which mean I can keep you out of trouble if you go a bit astray.

Pass Plus Courses

Once you have passed your Practical Test, Pass Plus is a course of lessons (minimum 6 hours) designed to enable you to gain more experience behind the wheel of a car, it’s a little like an advanced drivers course.

The course consists of 6 modules, these are:

There is no test at the end, your Instructor will assess you during your lessons, and will teach you to a high standard. Once you have successfully completed the course you will receive a certificate from the DSA (Driving Standards Agency).
