When I was looking for driving lessons I was looking for a driving school that offered affordable lessons especially as I was a student. Another factor was the pass rate I found that the pass to fail ratio a lot of students seemed to pass 1st time and I could check on all the customer reviews on the website. I found that learning to drive was very daunting at first but once I learnt the basics it was fun to to keep practising my skills. My driving instructor Andrew Jennings made everything so much simpler and easy to understand I would certainly recommend the driving school to anyone in fact I already have due to the affordable prices and instructors who strive to get the very best out of you. I was very happy with the service I received Georgia Firth of Stockport

Congratulations to Logan Oliver of Glossop who passed his driving test on 29th May at the FIRST attempt at Macclesfield Test Centre. To be honest Logan I didn’t think that taking your test in an unfamiliar area was the best idea but how you proved me wrong. It just goes to show how determined and motivated you were, and how capable you are. I’m proud of you. You can now share the driving on your weekend work and to college, life will be so much easier. Best wishes for the future from your instructor Steve and all the team at Geoff Capes Driving School.

Congratulations to Chris Seal, from Hazel Grove, Stockport, on passing his practical driving test in an automatic car on 28th May 2026, at the Bredbury test centre.

Chris, what a massive result today, you held your own and put to bed the test fail you had previously. You went into the test a little nervous, and you adapted your style to give yourself more time to talk yourself through certain situations. This paid off on the day, coming away with a well-deserved pass from Craig, the examiner.
Chris, what a pleasure it's been being your driving instructor. We hit it off straight away, and this helped us shape our driving lessons each week. It's been a great journey watching you learn each week and also becoming a parent for the first time.
We have had plenty of laughs along the way and plenty of chats about football and F1; I will miss these chats.
All the very best, searching for your first car and driving the family around, well, until Emma starts her lessons and takes over when she passes. I look forward to teaching her. All the best with your daughter, and I will see you for that motorway lesson, where I hold on for dear life!!
Wishing you all the best from your driving instructor Doug, and the customer support team here at Geoff Capes Driving School

Congratulations to Charlotte Holt from Cheadle, Stockport, on passing her practical driving test in an automatic car on her very FIRST attempt on the 22nd May 2026, at the Bredbury test centre.

A very special pass for you today, Charlotte. This day has been coming for a long while. We started lessons almost 2 years ago. On your first day, you were very comfortable speaking with me and advising me that you are autistic. That conversation shaped our future lessons and helped me to understand how you feel and what you can manage to complete a subject. We always adapted the lesson to suit you and your needs. With each driving lesson, your knowledge grew and grew, and you felt confident enough to explore multitasking.

I want to thank you for helping me understand the autistic world and, more importantly, how you felt and what works for you. We worked very well together.

I am going to miss our chats and lessons each week, enjoy looking for your first car and having the independence of getting around.
Wishing you all the best from your driving instructor Doug, and the customer support team here at Geoff Capes Driving School

🚨How you book your driving test has changed!

From 12th May 2026 the DVSA has changed the way driving tests are booked. This changed is aimed at reducing long waiting lists and prevent slots being bulk-bought and resold at inflated prices.

Only you will be able to book, change or swap your driving test - not anyone else, including your driving instructor. Always speak to your instructor to make sure you're ready for your test before booking.

🚗 Driving Acronyms You Need to Know When Learning to Drive

Feeling overwhelmed during your driving lessons? You’re not alone—and that’s exactly why driving instructors use simple acronyms to help everything click into place.

Here are some of the key ones every learner should know:

🔑 POM (Prepare, Observe, Move) – for moving off safely
🔄 MSM (Mirrors, Signal, Manoeuvre) – for all driving decisions
🛣️MAPSLADA – for approaching junctions and complex situations

Whether you’re taking manual or automatic driving lessons, these routines help build confidence, reduce mistakes, and make learning to drive much easier.

The more you practise them, the more natural they become—until you’re doing them without even thinking.

👀 Consistency is what helps turn learners into safe, confident drivers.
