Your first driving lesson in East Kilbride

The first lesson in East Kilbride is shorter than the rest — typically 1 hour, picked up from your home address, and spent almost entirely in a quiet residential street near Calderwood. The car never goes near M74 (via A725) on lesson one.

Bring: provisional licence, glasses if you wear them, comfortable shoes
Cockpit drill — mirrors, seat, controls
Moving off and stopping in a quiet street
Pickup from any address in G74, G75

Nobody expects you to drive on lesson one. The goal is to get the car moving, stop it again safely, and finish the hour feeling slightly excited rather than terrified.

If you don't have your provisional licence on the day, we legally can't take you out — DVSA rule. Order it on gov.uk at least 2 weeks before your first lesson.
