How many driving lessons do I need to pass in Cardiff?

According to DVSA statistics, UK learners require an average of 45 hours of professional tuition from an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) alongside 22 hours of private practice. Taking an intensive driving crash course in Cardiff can condense this timeframe into 1 to 2 weeks.

Should I learn in a manual or automatic car in Cardiff?

If you pass in an automatic car in Cardiff, your UK driving licence will restrict you to automatic vehicles only. Passing in a manual car grants a full licence covering both manual and automatic cars. However, automatic lessons are increasingly popular in Cardiff due to heavy city traffic and simpler hill-start controls.
