Starting driving lessons is an exciting step, and at Acorn SOM, we aim to make it as easy and stress-free as possible. Our driving lessons for beginners in the UK are designed to give new learners a calm, friendly, and confidence-building start behind the wheel.
Your first few lessons will cover the basics, including:
Getting familiar with car controls
Moving off and stopping safely
Steering, braking, and changing gears (if learning manual)
Simple road positioning and junctions
Understanding road signs and markings
We’ll start on quiet roads so you can gain confidence before moving onto busier areas.
At Acorn SOM, you can choose between manual and automatic lessons depending on your preference. Our experienced driving instructors will guide you through each step, helping you learn safely at your own pace.
Once you pass your test, it’s a good idea to gain more road experience. Many new drivers in Blackburn and nearby areas move on to our Pass Plus course Blackburn. It covers motorway driving, night driving, and driving in different weather conditions — and can even help lower your insurance costs.
