It's understandable that people want to get on the road quickly, but we believe this should never come at the cost of training our pupils safely and comprehensively. We give driving lessons at a pupil's preferred pace. Even if the preferred pace is 'lightning', we'll still never recommend that a pupil applies for a practical test before we're sure they're ready. This doesn't mean you cant pass fast, in fact at BSM we love to see you progress at pace, with confidence and pass first time.
