Whether you are just beginning to learn to drive, or you are almost ready to pass your test, DLA Driving School is here for all learner drivers in Shortstown. We believe that driving lessons should be an enjoyable and relaxed experience, and you should feel safe and comfortable in the car, but still be pushed to the best of your abilities. Our instructors are all qualified with the DVSA and experienced in teaching people of all ages and ability levels to drive, meaning that whoever you are and whatever your previous experience may be, we will help you achieve your driving goals with as much speed and ease as we can.
One of the first things you need to do to become a qualified driver is take your theory driving test. This is taken inside a test centre on a computer, so the location you choose for this will have little influence on the experience of taking the test. The closest theory test centres to Shortstown are in Rushden and Luton. After you have passed this, you can book your practical driving test. This involves driving around the roads surrounding your chosen driving test centre, so the location you choose will be much more important, but no test centre is necessarily easier than the other. From Shortstown, you will probably take your test in Bedford, but you could also travel to Letchworth or Bletchley – these are three very different places, but will all test you on similar things, such as your ability to drive in town centres or perform certain manoeuvres. All of these areas are well-known to our instructors, so wherever you decide to take your driving test near Shortstown, we will make sure that you have the ability and confidence to pass your test when the day of your test comes.

Reviews of DLA driving instructors in Shortstown:
May, taught by Ian Gibson-Gray:
"I would highly recommend Ian if you are looking for a manual driving instructor. He is so kind and patient, and has made me a much more confident driver. Our lessons were always well planned out, which really helped me know what I needed more practice on. I've always felt very comfortable and able to relax driving with Ian, always having a laugh during our lessons, which I will definitely miss! I passed my practical test first time today thanks to Ian, and I will be forever grateful!"
Kacper, taught by Matt Goding:
"Learning with Matt was great, he's easy to communicate with and everything was well explained. During our lessons, I kept rapidly progressing due to Matt's approach and teachings. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better instructor."
Emily, taught by Matt Goding:
"After two horrible driving instructors that left me scared to drive, and a third that just wasted my time, I passed my test with only four minors today with Matt. He is so calm and patient, but knows just how hard to push for results. I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat, and I definitely know who will be teaching my two younger sisters how to drive and, more importantly, be safe on the roads. Thank you, Matt, for everything."
Megan, taught by Rob Irwin:
"Initially I was very nervous to learn to drive, but from our first lesson together, Rob has constantly put me at ease and been very calm and patient. He has been able to adapt his teachings to help me learn and progress. He is very understanding and always listened to any worries or questions I had. Rob always puts his students first and is very accommodating, especially when close to test. He teaches to a high standard of driving, which has made me a confident and safe driver."
