Les Currie DSA ADI HPD

My name is Les. I am a DSA Approved Driving instructor and DSA ORDIT Registered Instructor Trainer. I am a Grade 6 instructor which is the highest grade awarded by the DSA (Only 6 percent of driving instructors in the UK are Grade 6) The vast majority of Instructors are Grade 4 or below.

I am based in Bury, Lancashire. I have trained many driving instructors in the area, so as a learner driver you can look forward to the very best training right up to passing your test.

I am also a fully qualified Hypnotherapist, NLP and EFT practitioner and work part time in that profession. I am well placed to help with nervous drivers and also to assist with driving test nerves too. Click here for more info

Remember not all instructors are the same - many have not yet passed all their qualifications and in training. Fully qualified instructors must display a green badge in the windscreen.



 Student feedback:

Les - Just want to thank you for all you have done to help me pass. Great teacher and not too serious - have had a good laugh along the way

Les, thank you so much-your complete calm patience and belief meant so much and gave me the confidence to restart my lessons and pass my test first time with you-11 years after originally taking lessons.

Les, just wanted to drop a quick note, which you can use on the website if you wanted. I've been driving 'solo' for 4 months now since I passed with you, due to work, alot of motorway stuff between Manchester and Liverpool and Northwales. I often find myself thinking back to the lessons when I'm driving as your advice was so good. I'm not sure if I could have gone solo so early if it wasn't for your teaching. Many thanks for the lessons - there were some bad times, and some good times, but you really helped me when I even doubted myself. Hope things are well with you, I keep any eye for a black 207 (?) when I'm in Radcliffe. Many thanks again, you gave me the skills to get mobile!

Martin McGuiness, Radcliffe.

"I was so nervous when it came to the test, I remember telling you to take me home because i didn`t want to do it. But you were fantastic, calmed me down and convinced me I could do it, and yes I did - first time too. Thank you so much! "

Thank you for visiting my site , where you will find lots of interesting information about learning to drive. If you are looking for cheap lessons or even free lessons then there are lots of driving instructors eager to sign you up, perhaps you can work out why?

Well I offer you nothing more than highly effective training to the highest level available in the UK. I will not teach you to pass an L test - I will train you to be a competent, safe and confident driver able to deal with all of the situations that todays roads can present - easily exceeding current test requirements.

Perhaps you are a complete beginner or you are you one of those currently having lessons? Not making progress? Why not call me today, 30% of my pupils come from other instructors and were just not getting anywhere - the good news is that I am here to help.

As well as being a driving instructor I am a fully qualified hypnotherapist, NLP and EFT practitioner with a practice located in Bury, so regardless of whether you are a nervous beginner, have had previous lessons, or struggle with dyslexia or dyspraxia, I have lots of techniques to make learning to drive a pleasant, satisfying, stress free experience. I will ensure that you quickly and easily pass your driving test and become a great driver. Previously I have taught people with agoraphobia (fear of open spaces) and fear of tunnels and bridges, so I do like a challenge!

My courses and weekly lessons are designed to offer structured, affordable training, regardless of your age or experience. Your progress is measured right from the very start using my own unique computer software. At the end of every lesson you will receive a printout that shows you exactly your progress towards test standard.

Not only do I offer expert guidance in the car, I also provide free handouts and theory test training to help accelerate your progress towards passing the test. So get it right first time, with my door-to-door service and patient helpful instruction you won't look back.

Areas covered include:
Bury, Bolton, Prestwich, Radcliffe, Farnworth, Little Lever, Tottington, Ramsbottom, Heywood, Rochdale and Whitefield

If you are looking for the cheapest driving school, beware the hidden costs of unstructured training:guarantee

 >>>> More hours required
>>>> Lack of motivation
>>>> Kept in the dark over your progress
>>>> Total costs could be over 3 times greater

Some of this probably rings true to some of you reading this. Of course cheap lessons sound great until you add up the cost of over 100 hours required to pass your test.

Many driving schools will send you a different instructor each week, send a different car and have you sharing the car with other pupils - that`s not what you are paying for.

Wouldn`t you rather pay less overall and pass quicker too?

In addition Pass Plus tuition and motorway lessons are available too. We use the latest techniques to ensure your learning experience is enjoyable and productive.

Motoring News

Huge driving test scam uncovered........

Tens of thousands of people could be paying fraudsters to sit their driving test for them, the BBC has learned. The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) says impostors charge up to £500 and can have taken more than 200 tests each.

The scam works when the fraudsters pass themselves off as the person in the photo on the provisional licence that candidates must bring to their test. The DSA described the problem, the scale of which has only recently become clear, as serious.


Motorists lose speed camera case..........

Two British motorists who took their legal fight against speed cameras to Europe have lost their case.

Idris Francis, of Petersfield, Hants, and Gerard O'Halloran, from London, argued that current rules forced car owners to incriminate themselves.
They said human rights were breached by making a car's owner name the driver if the vehicle is caught speeding. But judges at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg voted 15 to two to reject their argument


Drivers use friends to help dodge points ban

More than 300,000 motorists have persuaded another driver to take their penalty points for a driving offence, according to a recent AA poll.

A further 13 per cent of the 16,961 members questioned claimed to know someone who had passed on their points, while 12 per cent said they would tell the police if someone asked them to take their points. The main reasons for avoiding points are to escape a ban if near the licence limit, or to avoid higher insurance.

“Some drivers don’t seem to realise the serious nature of this offence,” said Edmund King, the AA’s president. “Often drivers will be charged with perverting the course of justice, which typically results in a four- to nine-month prison sentence or a large fine. The best advice is to stick to speed limits to avoid detection in the first place.”

New drivers are banned for six points within two years of passing their test. The limit for others is 12.

 

80 MPH speed limit proposal

Finally, more than 40 years after the 70mph motorway speed limit was introduced, we have an enlightened Transport Secretary with the apparent courage to address the reality of life on our roads and suggest the possibility of raising the maximum to 80mph, in the process banishing an anachronistic piece of Sixties’ legislation.

Why all the fuss and furore? A 70mph limit might have made sense in the mid-Sixties, when few cars were capable of travelling at sustained high speed, but most modern cars – even the venerable Land Rover Defender, which is among the slowests car on sale today, can muster 82mph – will easily cruise at 70mph and more.

It’s not just the engine technology that has advanced in leaps and bounds, but suspension, tyres and, crucially, braking systems. According to The Highway Code, the recommended stopping distance from 70mph, including reaction time, is 96 metres or 315 feet. An average Volkswagen Golf, the biggest-selling car in Europe, is capable of stopping from the same speed in only 49.3 metres.
