Real-world road experience

Prepare for Driving Around Bolton & Atherton

Driving lessons should prepare you for unfamiliar roads, not simply a memorised test route. Depending on your progress, your instructor can introduce residential streets, roundabouts, busier junctions, pedestrian crossings and independent driving.

Test preparation is available for learners using Bolton and Atherton test centres. Your lessons will focus on road safety, judgement, observations and the skills that need improvement before your practical test.

What your lessons may cover

  • Moving off, stopping and vehicle control
  • Junctions, roundabouts and changing speed limits
  • Awareness of pedestrians and other road users
  • Manoeuvres and independent driving
  • Preparation suited to your progress and test plans

I highly recommend Mr Sarfraz as a driving instructor. He is an excellent, patient and professional instructor who explains everything clearly and makes you feel confident behind the wheel. His teaching methods are very effective, and he always takes the time to correct mistakes and help you improve. He is friendly, supportive and very knowledgeable. If you’re looking for a great manual driving instructor, I would definitely recommend Mr Sarfraz. Thank you for all your guidance and support!

It was my 8th attempt to be honest and I got lessons from many instructors but Ali Bhai was the one who made me believe that I can pass.I had only 6 lessons from him and I passed.To pass the driving test is not because of lessons only infact it depends who you are having lessons with.

Incredible Instructor – Highly Recommend Afzaal Ahmed! I still can’t believe that I have passed my driving test! If it wasn't for my instructor, Afzaal Ahmed, it would have been so much more difficult. He is an absolutely excellent teacher who genuinely cares about his students. Whenever I felt down or doubted myself, Afzaal was incredibly encouraging and patient, helping me build the confidence I needed to succeed. If you are looking for an instructor who is supportive, professional, and brilliant at what he does, look no further than Afzaal. Thank you so much for everything!

I took my driving lessons in a manual car with Mr Sarfraz and I can only speak positively about him. I started my first ever driving lesson with Sarfraz and did around 30 lessons with him, during these lessons Sarfraz was very calm, patient and positive towards me and had full belief in me that I would pass my driving test. Sarfraz was a very good teacher and explained everything to detail until I fully understood what I had to do! Sarfraz is a very kind person and a Top instructor and I would recommend him to any new learner driver who is looking to take lessons. Thanks to Sarfraz and Shah Driving School. 👍🏼😀
