Test Tip Of The Month For Kettering

When you approach junctions, keep checking until you've decided to go. If the junction is blind, try leaning forward and moving your head as if watching a tennis match. If it's blind, don't be afraid to wind the window down to try and hear anything while you are creeping out to improve your view.

Useful Driving Test Tip For Kettering

When overtaking cyclists on faster roads, consider leaving more space than the minimum (1 metre). Apply the MSPSL routine nice and early, signal in good time and anticipate any unusual sudden movements by the cyclist. If they are looking over their shoulder, they might be thinking about changing direction.

Frequently asked questions...

If you are a beginner then there are some quiet roads around Ise-Lodge Community Centre, such as St Catherine's Road which is nice and long with not too many parked cars. Also, the area around Margaret Road is another classic area to pick up the basics and if it's a weekend lesson then Telford Way Industrial Estate is a must place for beginners too!

Yes, you can. We would usually recommend letting us know in advance so we can allocate you a driving instructor in Northampton who also covers Kettering. Due to the backlog on driving tests since the pandemic, test centre availability can be poor. If this happens, our driving instructors in Kettering may advise you take the test somewhere else nearby where the waiting time is considerably less.

When learning to drive in Kettering, you will have the pick of a few driving test centres to take your test at. Your nearest test centres are Kettering, Wellingborough and Northampton, depending on where it is you live. If you're looking to take your test at Wellingborough test centre, we would recommend taking your driving lessons in Wellingborough so that you become familiar with the roads in the area and learn the test routes.

Yes, we do. If you live outside of town, not to worry. We also provide driving lessons in Wellingborough, driving lessons in Rushden and driving lessons in Burton Latimer, as well as many other areas.

Your driving instructor in Kettering will come to meet you at a prearranged time and place that works well for you. They will introduce themselves, ask you about your previous driving experience, do an eyesight check and check your provisional licence.

Once this is done, your instructor will then begin your driving lessons in quiet roads in Kettering where you can practice the basics without being disturbed; quiet roads, like those off St John's Road, would work well. They will cover the basic car controls, moving off and stopping, clutch control, the different pedals and how to steer. You will also practice turning left and right, and emerging from open T Junctions.

As you grow in confidence, you will find yourself taking on busier roads around the town, such as Stamford Road and Northfield Avenue, and tackling the tricky intersection where the A4300 meets Rockingham Road. You will also be practising manouevres - Kettering Business Park, when it is quiet, is great place to practice your bay park manouevre!

Bang in the centre of Kettering, there is a double roundabout located on Northampton Road which is tricky. Also, the spiral roundabout on Northfield Avenue is another one where test candidates don't stay in the correct lane going over it. Your instructor will show you the best way to tackle these and other tricky areas so that you know them like the back of your hand.

As you approach your driving test, your driving instructor will show you the popular test routes in and around Kettering so that you feel fully prepared and ready for any challenge you might face on your test day. You're in safe hands with us!
