About Lessons
Automatic Driving Lessons
SOS Driver Training instructors highly recommend automatic driving lessons for learners who want a smoother and more straightforward way to learn to drive.
Learning in an automatic car removes the complexity of clutch control and gear changes, allowing you to focus on developing your road awareness, handling skills, and overall confidence behind the wheel.
Many learners find that driving an automatic helps them progress more quickly and feel more comfortable, especially in the early stages of learning. With our automatic driving lessons, you can build a solid foundation in driving skills and safety.
Automatic Driving Lessons Pick Your Time Scale
We offer automatic driving lessons in both 90-minute and 2-hour formats, giving you plenty of time in each session to practice essential skills and reinforce safe driving habits.
These longer sessions are ideal for building experience, gaining confidence in real traffic conditions, and mastering manoeuvres such as parallel parking, reversing into a bay, and navigating roundabouts.
With more time behind the wheel during your automatic driving lessons, each lesson becomes a valuable step towards becoming a safe and capable driver.
Our qualified and friendly automatic driving instructors are experts in automatic driving lessons and will guide you through every stage of the process.
From your very first lesson, we cover the basics such as getting familiar with the vehicle’s controls, understanding road markings and signs, and learning how to handle different driving situations. As your confidence grows, we’ll introduce more advanced scenarios, helping you prepare for the driving test and for real-world driving beyond it. Join us for automatic driving lessons that prioritize your learning journey.

FAQs Automatic Driving Lessons
Once one of our team members has spoken to you or replied to your message via text, WhatsApp, Email or on the contact enquiry form, we will allocate one of our SOS instructors to contact you by phone or text to follow up your enquiry. This is known as a pupil lead.
They will touch base and introduce themselves, discuss their earliest availability and inform their hourly rates and packages including block booking discounts. If you are interested in booking with them or would like to ask some questions, please feel free to do so. Our instructors do not try to hard sell or pressure you to book a lesson. They are friendly and approachable.
You can pay for your driving lessons a couple of different ways. Ideally our instructors take payment upfront before your lesson at least 24 hours or if agreed on the day of your first lesson. You will have an initial conversion with your allocated instructor. who will discuss with you their preferred way of payment . Most of the time, you’ll be paying via bank transfer to your instructor. Cash is accepted. No cheques. If you would prefer to pay for your lessons upfront to the company, simply give us a call on 0800 488 0817 or 07926 943702
You will need a Provisional Driving Licence. This will need to be shown to your instructor on your first lesson. Keep it safe because you will need it for both the theory & practical Driving Tests. You will also need to be able to read a car number plate at 20.5 metres
Here at SOS Driver Training, all of our instructors are self-employed. This allows our instructors to work the hours that suit them. The times in which you can take your driving lessons vary – some of our driving instructors start as early as 6.30am, and others do not finish till 10pm.
Most pupils will have one lesson a week, but that is not essential. They can be tailored to whatever suits you best.
Most of our driving instructors deliver 2 hour lessons. They believe that it is more beneficial than 1 hour for a variety of reasons including reduced learning time overall, approximately triples the learning period in any given time, allows retention of information due to more time to practice and allowing for a greater geographical area to be covered in lessons to maximise exposure to a variety of traffic situations. In conclusion taking a 2 hour lesson is a good way to build your driving skill & knowledge over time & can be more cost-effective than taking shorter lessons. Ultimately, we understand your individual circumstances, learning style & preferences.
On the flipside, our instructors find a lot of learners make mistakes in the final 20 minutes of their lesson. so they have found that a 1.5 hour lesson strikes the balance between making sure significant progress is made, and their is not too much mental fatigue , helping to keep driver errors down & confidence up.
Unfortunately we don’t . We recommend taking a more tailored approach to driving lessons based on your individual requirements.
Long daily sessions can affect concentration and learning intake. An intensive course, as the name suggests, is very intense and not suited to all learners.
We offer semi intensive lessons which tends to tailor for pupils finding a practical test at short notice. However we don’t accept a short notice test within 7 days
Our SOS Driver Training instructors all use different cars, However, they are all fitted with dual controls, with some cars fitted with front & rear dash cams. All driving tuition vehicles are fully suitable for teaching.
It’s difficult to say how many lessons you will need to get up to test standard, as everybody learns differently. As a guideline, DVSA statistics say the average pupil takes 47 hours of professional driving lessons , and 20 hours private practice
Of course some times you may need to cancel a lesson, we understand that. All we ask is you give us at least 24 hours notice, anything less than that and you will be charged for the lesson.
