Driving lessons in Wilmslow,Knutsford and Lymm

If you are taking driving lessons in Wilmslow then Sale test centre is your best option in my opinion.The other test centre to consider is Macclesfield but its pass rate is around 37% compared to Sale at 44%.There will be other reasons apart from the location as to why it must be tricky but Im guessing all those hills cant help.If your taking driving lessons in Lymm then again Sale or Nortwich is your nearest test centre.Learning to drive in Knutsford then Northwich is probably your nearest choice. What is interesting about learning to drive in Wilmslow,Knutsford and Lymm is that your driving lessons will involve country lane driving.Not wishing to alarm anyone but 3/4 of fatal accidents happen on country lanes so its important that the dangers are made aware to learners.I will cover these in a separate blog.Wilmslow,Knutsford and Lymm all over good beginner areas so your initial driving lessons will be structured around these nursery routes so your car control will be developed before moving onto the faster main country roads.If your looking for a driving school in Wilmslow,Knutsford or Lymm please visit Amba Driving School

This post is originally from January but has been tweaked slightly.It is actually worth doing a driving lesson in difficult conditions so you know what to expect.
Driving in these conditions is an extremley hazadous undertaking.Thankfully Altrincham,Sale and Timperley are fairly flat so sliding down hills into something hard is unlikely.If you do need to drive then here are a couple of pointers to help you avoid trouble.The first thing to do is obviously drive slower.In dry conditions you always try to leave a 2 second gap to the vehicle ahead which creates a safe stopping distance,in snow and ice this gap increases to 10 seconds.This will leave you plenty of time to apply the break in a progressive manner to avoid locking the brakes and the car sliding.Right and left turns into side roads in icey conditions can be trouble.Avoid arriving too fast,hitting the breaks and sliding into the curb side on and buckling a wheel.If the car does start to slide in this situation,come off the brake and the car hopefully will grip and you should be able to steer around the corner.
Not too much gas and smooth acceleration should avoid wheel spin and changing up into a higher gear earlier will also avoid the wheels spinning.

What happens when your test is cancelled.

Taking your driving test in the winter months is always something of a lottery as to whether it will get cancelled or not.Any amount of sharp frost or potential ice,forces the examiner to cancel due to health and safety factors.Its not a bad idea when booking a test in winter to aim for after 1030.That way the sun comes up and melts any hard frost.Tests before this time have a habit of being cancelled.If your unlucky enough to have the test cancelled you will not lose your money but the DSA will re-schedule it.This should be done within 3 days but your new date could be weeks or months away so once you have a new date,look to change it on-line yourselves.
