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 2 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.

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.

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.

Regardless of whether you are a nervous beginner or have had previous lessons I will ensure that you quickly and easily pass your driving test and become a safe and efficient driver.  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 with using unique computer software. At the end of every lesson you will receive a printout that shows you exactly how far away you are from 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 our door-to-door service and patient helpful instruction you won't look back.

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

>>>> 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

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

The government is looking into the possibility of much harder driving tests to improve road safety.

Options to be considered include education in safe driving being introduced into the school curriculum, the Times reports. Also being looked at is the Swedish system under which drivers undergo 120 hours of training before taking a test. Transport Minister Stephen Ladyman said that too often "you first learn to pass the test and then you learn to drive".

The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) is looking at ways of improving road safety with a consultation likely later in the year. The Department for Transport said no firm proposals had yet been put forward.

ECO driving

After surviving an emergency stop and three-point turn, driving test candidates will in future have to show they can save fuel as well. Fuel efficiency - or eco-driving - is to be made part of the driving test from 2008 in a move ministers hope will cut polluting emissions, save money on bills and make driving safer.

Learner drivers will be taught tips such as accelerating and braking less strongly and changing gears sooner and be assessed on their abilities as part of the practical exam.

Transport Secretary Alistair Darling, said candidates would not pass or fail on eco-driving, but wanted it 'to become as much a part of learning to drive as the three-point turn or checking your mirrors. Small changes like this can make a big difference to the effect drivers have on the environment.'

The government move follows similar initiatives in other countries, including the Netherlands, where the 'New Driving' programme estimates that drivers can cut fuel use by nearly a third. The development comes after ministers faced criticism for failing to meet carbon reduction targets, especially from road transport, because traffic is growing and modern family vehicles are as powerful as the 1960s Monte Carlo rally cars. New car efficiency ratings are also based on model driving, which most people do not practise, claim the Dutch scheme experts.

WHY IN BRITAIN DO WE DRIVE ON THE LEFT?

About a quarter of the world drives on the left, and the countries that do are mostly old British colonies. The Japanese also drive on the left..

This strange quirk perplexes the rest of the world; however, there is a perfectly good reason.

Up to the late 1700's, everybody travelled on the left side of the road because it's the sensible option for feudal, violent societies of mostly right-handed people.

Jousting knights with their lances under their right arm naturally passed on each other's right, and if you passed a stranger on the road you walked on the left to ensure that your protective sword arm was between yourself and him.

Revolutionary France, however, overturned this practice as part of its sweeping social rethink. A change was carried out all over continental Europe by Napoleon.The reason it changed under Napoleon was because he was left handed his armies had to march on the right so he could keep his sword arm between him and any opponent.

From then on, any part of the world which was at some time part of the British Empire was thus left hand and any part colonised by the French was right hand.
