Can a learner use their own car?

Yes for private practice with a qualified family supervisor — but not for paid lessons with us. We need dual controls.

What insurance do I need?

Your fully comprehensive policy must specifically permit paid driving tuition. Most don't by default — check with your insurer.

Will you teach me motorway driving in my own car?

Yes — Pass Plus motorway modules in Falkirk run on the M-road network and are commonly done in the pupil's own car.

We can't run learner-permit lessons in your own car — the car needs dual controls and L-plates, plus the right insurance. Once you've passed, that restriction lifts.

Common own-car requests in Falkirk: motorway confidence, parallel parking refresh, urban driving for foreign-licence drivers, and post-test 'just got my licence and the car feels different' nerves.

Who this is for: Full licence holders only — refresher, foreign licence, post-test confidence.
