I cannot recommend Farhan enough as a driving instructor. As a new driver in the UK, I was a bit nervous about learning to drive on the left side of the road and navigating unfamiliar rules. Farhan was incredibly patient, clear, and thorough in his teaching. He taught me everything I needed to know, not just to pass the test, but to be a safe and confident driver. Thanks to his excellent instruction, I passed my driving test on the very first attempt, with minimal minors. If you're looking for a driving instructor who is knowledgeable, supportive, and truly dedicated to getting you test-ready, Farhan is your guy.

Farhan was a great instructor! I just moved to the UK, and he was flexible, patient, and thorough. I used his hourly services. He started in a quiet area and gradually built my confidence with turns, roundabouts, and busier streets. I really appreciated how he’d pull over to explain mistakes and walk through scenarios using a handy driving rules workbook. I was familiar with a US seat positions and Manual transmissions, but he also went over the vehicle difference and i was driving in no time. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about our automatic driving lessons in Harrogate? Here are some of the most common queries from our students. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, feel free to get in touch with us directly!
Is it easier to learn in an automatic car?
Yes. Without the need for clutch control or gear changes, many learners find automatic cars easier and less stressful—especially in stop-start traffic.
Can I drive a manual car if I pass in an automatic?
No. If you pass your test in an automatic, your licence will only allow you to drive automatic vehicles. You’ll need to take a separate test in a manual car to upgrade.
Where will I take my driving test?
Most learners in Harrogate take their test at the Knaresborough Driving Test Centre, located at: Ground Floor Unit 9, Grimbald Crag Court, St James Business Park, Knaresborough, HG5 8QB.
Are automatic lessons suitable for nervous drivers?
Absolutely. Automatic lessons remove some of the more complex tasks involved in manual driving, helping nervous learners gain confidence faster.
How many lessons will I need to pass?
This varies by learner, but many find they require fewer lessons in an automatic due to the simplified controls. We’ll tailor your lesson plan to your progress.
Do you offer fast-tracked practical tests for automatic learners?
Yes. We can help you secure an earlier test date for your automatic test through our fast-tracked service, so you can get your licence sooner.
