What we focus on for your first driving lesson in Falkirk

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 FK1, FK2, FK3, FK5

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.

Who this is for: New learners in Falkirk about to start their first hour.
