Book nowA 2 hour driving lesson is a two hour, one to one lesson with a driving instructor, starting with a pick up from your door. A 2 hour driving lesson teaches one or two new skills, such as roundabouts, manoeuvres or dual carriageways, and leaves time to repeat them until they feel natural. A 2 hour driving lesson gives you more real driving than two 1 hour lessons, because the drive to practice roads only happens once. A 2 hour driving lesson in Manchester costs £72 in a manual and £74 in an automatic. A 2 hour refresher lesson costs £80, with no booking fee.
A shorter lesson can often end just as you start feeling comfortable. A two-hour session gives your instructor time to understand your driving patterns, correct repeated mistakes and practise improvements until they become natural.
Your lesson is not based on a fixed checklist. Your instructor focuses on the areas affecting your progress most, whether that is hesitation at junctions, clutch control, parking accuracy, lane discipline or confidence in traffic.

Every two hour driving lesson comes with the same 6 essentials, at the same price, wherever in Greater Manchester you are picked up.
A 2 hour driving lesson leaves plenty of time after reaching practice roads to learn and repeat new skills.
Impulse 2 hour lessons are taught by DVSA approved instructors, never trainees, in fully insured dual control cars.
Every 2 hour lesson starts with a free pick up from your home, work or college across Manchester.
A 2 hour lesson can mix quiet side streets, busy roundabouts and dual carriageways in one go.

A female instructor costs nothing extra on any 2 hour lesson, wherever a female instructor covers your area.
A 2 hour driving lesson gives you far more real driving than a 1 hour driving lesson. A 1 hour driving lesson often ends just as you reach good practice roads and settle in. A 2 hour driving lesson keeps going, so you can learn a new skill and then repeat it.
