Whether you have never driven before or just want to refresh your skills before your driving test, DLA Driving School is ready to teach you to drive in Hitchin. All of your lessons with DLA Driving School in Hitchin will be one-to-one with a DVSA qualified driving instructor who knows Hitchin and the surrounding area well. Your driving lessons in Hitchin can be organised to fit around your schedule, and your instructor can pick you up from wherever you find most convenient.

If you are a beginner driver, you will need a quiet street on which your instructor can begin to teach you the basics of operating a car; the residential areas on Hitchin's outskirts, including Purwell and Walsworth, provide an excellent place to do this. These areas are also perfect for practicing the manoeuvres you may perform in your driving test, including parallel and bay parking, reversing, and emergency stops. After you have grown in confidence driving on these quiet roads, you may venture into a more populated area, such as Hitchin town centre, where you can gain experience in navigating busy roads with many other vehicles. Hitchin is also an excellent place to learn how to navigate roundabouts due to the presence of the A505 running through the town, a road with many small and large roundabouts on which learners can practise. This road also becomes a dual carriageway on the way from Hitchin to Luton, providing a location in which learner drivers can practise on driving on busy roads with high speed limits. After you have mastered driving in Hitchin, your instructor may take you to nearby Letchworth or Stevenage; these two towns contain the closest practical driving test centres to Hitchin, so experience in navigating these areas may be valuable to you depending on where you decide to take your driving test.

Bailey, taught by Ray Bradding:

"For me, Ray was a one-of-a-kind instructor. Extremely likeable, made me feel at ease even when I felt pressure through the roof. Couldn't have asked for anyone better than him."

Reece, taught by Ray Bradding:

"Ray is simply awesome! He takes a huge amount of pride in ensuring you gain the knowledge you need to hit the road on four wheels. This is clearly not a job to Ray, it's much more, it's personal. Explains techniques with great analogies, easy to understand, always calm and relaxed, there's no pressure sitting next to this guy... Patience of a saint, even when you screw up! This guy has found his calling...thanks man!"

Amy, taught by Tony Dimmock:

"No words can explain my appreciation to Tony. He was calm, patient, positive, clear with his instructions and always firm but fair. After each lesson he made sure I always celebrated my achievements and not dwell on my mistakes. I went from learning manual to automatic due to nerves, but Tony was fantastic with me from start to test day. I couldn't recommend and sing his praises more. Thank you Tony and DLA. Forever thankful."

Demi, taught by Tony Dimmock:

"Tony helped me through my test with only 3 minors. He made sure I understood, and helped my confidence for my test and on the roads. He was always happy to help and explained things clearly and went over anything necessary. He taught me many things about being on the road and how to be observant."
