The Articles are expansions of questions that instructors have been asked in the past. On a driving lesson sometimes only a quick answer is possible. Pupils have asked some interesting questions of us and it was thought worthwhile to provide extended andswers. Take a look in the articles section and you will see what we mean. At Findley's Driving School your driving education extends far beyond the driving instructors vehicle.

The Highway Code is reproduced in its entirity with the kind permission of the Crown Copyright Authorities. In the real book you have to turn the pages to find the reference that you require. Online you simply click on the link and it takes you there. Quicker and more convenient so that you are more likely to study it. You will be amazed what you will learn! All driving instructors from any school of motoring would like the pupils of their driving school to read the Highway Code. At Findley's Driving School we have provided the resource in the most convenient format and for free!
The Knowledge Base is the most frequently used part of the Findley's Driving School website. Existing pupils of ours understand the benefits because they have tried it and realise that they are soaking in the essential driving knowledge faster and gaining supplementary driving knowledge as well. Why don't you give it a try? You do not need to be a pupil of Findley's Driving School to benefit from the free Knowledge Base, all are welcome here.
The Knowledge Base is available on a twenty four hour basis. Help yourself!
Your driving instructor will need to take some essential information from you in advance, and the fee of course, to enable us to book your practical driving test.
There is an advantage to you in letting the driving school book the practical driving test on your behalf as we can make certain that there is no chance of a clash of test dates taking place.
Some pupils do insist upon booking their own practical driving tests once their driving instructor has told them that they are ready. This is your perogative of course, but if a clash of dates does occur due to us already having a practical driving test date booked for another pupil; then it is your responsibility, not your driving instructors, to get your practical driving test date changed.
If a new pupil starts to take driving lessons with our driving instructor and tells us that they came to us because of a recommendation from another of our driving school pupils then, as our way of saying thank you, your driving instructor will reward you with a free driving lesson.
Once the newly recommended pupil has taken and paid for their first driving lesson, your reward will be a that your next driving lesson will be provided by your driving instructor free of charge as a thank you.
In my honest opinion you should not be paying for driving lessons from any individual, School of Motoring or driving school who are not happy to advertise this fact. What have their instructors got to hide? The code is merely a list of promises not to mislead or rip you off that any respectable driving school, school of motoring or driving instructor should adhere to of their own volition anyway.
At Findley's Driving School we value professionalism highly. Driving is a skill for life. Our driving school respects that. The code of practice is endorsed by genuine, professional driving instructors throughout the driving instruction industry.
At Findley's Driving School we believe that the following set of driving school promises are the minimum requirements that you should be able to expect from any driving school instructor.
If you are considering other Driving Schools / Schools of Motoring, you should make sure that they can match this level of service.
1) We provide all pupils with a teaching environment which is condusive to their driving education.
A positive educational environment consists of more than just the provision of a modern dual controlled car. A professional driving instructor is the most important element.
Building a successful teaching environment depends upon the driving instructor being well resourced with teaching aids, confident with their subject and relaxed in manner. With Findley's Driving School your driving instructor all of these.
At Findley's Driving School we do not just teach you to drive. We study teaching you to drive so that we are on a continuous learning curve ourselves. The continued professional development of your driving instructor is important because it keeps them sharp.
2) Driving Lessons are One Hour in duration Guaranteed.
Your Findley's Driving School instructor will always try their best to attend your driving lessons on time.
The one thing that we as a driving school are as susceptible to as any other road user is traffic delays.
If traffic does delay your driving instructor, however late they are will be added to the end of your driving lesson so that you do not lose out on driving lesson time.
With driving instructors from Findley's driving school you will always get the full lesson hour that you are paying for.
3) Your driving instructor will almost certainly have a mobile telephone in the car somewhere. It will be turned off for the entire duration of your driving lesson.
At Findley's Driving School we forbid our driving instructors to use their mobiles whilst on driving lessons.
It is our belief that a professional driving instructor has enough to do concentrating on the normal aspects of a driving lesson without the added requirement of carrying out a conversation with a third party.
You are paying to be under the ever watchful eye of a professional driving instructor, not a call centre operative.
4) Findley's Driving School allows no back seat passengers in the instructors vehicle during the course of a driving lesson.
Some instructors from other schools of motoring have another pupil drive to your house at the end of the previous driving lesson and then you have to drive them home at the start of yourdriving lesson.
At the end of your driving lesson they may expect you to finish elsewhere for their next pupil to drive you home, a practice known in the industry as piggy-backing.
If you object to this type of behaviour then you should enquire of every driving school that you are considering as to whether this is permitted in their instructors cars.
Professional tuition from Findley's Driving School is provided strictly on a one to one basis.
5) No one has ever been shouted at in one of our driving lessons.
It is a sad fact that some pupils have found the need to change from their previous school of motoring and come to Findley's Driving School on the basis that they are not prepared to be shouted at.
6) No smoking is allowed in your driving tuition vehicle.
Findley's driving school operates a no smoking policy. Quite simply put, the pleasure of a cigarette to a smoker is far outweighed in terms of customer service by the discomfort suffered by the non-smokers who occupy the instructors car afterwards.
7) A record of your driving achievements will be kept up to date on a lesson by lesson basis.
Constructive feedback from your instructor at the end of each driving lesson is a very positive thing.
Not only as a very beneficial way of highlighting the work done on the current driving lesson, it is also the best basis for achieving pupil understanding of the aims of the following driving lesson.
This is far better than the driving instructor simply saying, "not bad, bye then, same time next week?"
8) Continuous Professional Development
'Quality of Service' and 'Professionalism' are the watchwords of Findley's driving school.
It is essential for every driving instructor to keep up to date with not only the changes in driving techniques and teaching methods, but also the D.S.A revisions to the theory and practical driving tests.
To this end I receive regular D.S.A publications and regularly attend the meetings of my local driving instructors association, the Nuneaton and District Professional Driving Instructors Association, where all matters relating to A.D.I's in the area are freely and openly discussed.
9) The provision of 'free to use' resources online that are accurate, extensive, and regularly added to.
This unique asset is more valuable to you than you might imagine.
The ability to remain up to date between driving lessons is not something that you should overlook.
How many other driving schools do you think care about your development enough to provide such a Knowledge Base?
Am I correct in thinking that you cannot name any?
10) At Findley's Driving School we operate a fair refund policy.
In the unlikely event that a pupil should pay in advance for lessons and for whatever reason require a refund for any lessons as yet untaken; that refund will be repaid by cheque which will be posted on the same day that the request is received. No Arguments.
