Wright Choice Driving School
I am John Wright a qualified and DSA approved driving instructor who lives in the village of Histon, 1 mile north of Cambridge. With more than 15 years experience in teaching people to drive, I guarantee quality driving tuition and a highly professional service to match. I believe that learning to drive should be an enjoyable experience and designed to ensure that you succeed in passing your driving test.

My tuition vehicle is the 2019 Citron C3. The car has a 1.2 litre petrol engine with manual transmission. The car is reliable and economical and for driver comfort has adjustable seating/steering and air-conditioning. The five door model allows the driver to have good vision to the rear and side when carrying out manoeuvres. In 2002 I qualified as a driving instructor and worked as a franchisee with BSM until 2011.

I achieved quarterly pass rates which were consistently above the 54% average for the local test centre.

The Driving Standards Agency says that, on average, drivers who pass their test now take 45 hours of professional in-car tuition with a qualified instructor and have over 20 hours of additional practice.
This obviously depends on the pupil and some learners might need to take even more lessons (and still fail) and some take less but pass.
It could be possible to get an idea of the number of lessons you might require to get to test standard on an initial assessment lesson, but if you have a strict budget or time scale to follow it is important you notify us when you book.
My goal is to teach individuals to handle the car in a positive and confident frame of mind in all manner of road and traffic conditions and to have the confidence to pass a driving test.
I prefer to do this with 2 hour lessons but this depends on each pupil's needs.
I follow a structured method of learning that begins with physical control of the car, using steering, brakes, clutch and gears to move the car smoothly on the road.
Then follows the development of awareness and anticipation skills so that the pupil can plan for and deal with traffic junctions and other road users.
The Practical test is a basic test of competence at handling the controls of a motor car and candidates can pass it having made up to 15 minor faults during the test but no serious or dangerous faults.
The driving test lasts between 35 and 40 mins depending on the route and the traffic conditions.
The driver must follow the road ahead unless road markings direct otherwise.
The examiner gives verbal instructions when he wishes the driver to turn left/right or to make a stop at the roadside.
In addition the examiner may ask the driver to perform an emergency stop which must be carried out promptly and safely.
The Theory test is taken at a local test centre (not necessarily the centre at which you would take your practical test) using a touch screen computer to conduct the exam and is in two parts.
It can be conducted in many different languages and provision can be made for people with dyslexia or learning difficulties.
The first part is a multiple-choice test of 50 questions out of which you must answer at least 43 correctly.
The second part is a hazard perception test which presents 14 brief video snippets in which you must try to identify 15 developing hazards (one video will have two hazards) and from which you must achieve a score of 44 out of a possible 75; as soon as you recognise that a hazard will cause the car to brake you click the mouse and the quicker your response the higher will be your point score.
Traffic accidents account for almost half of all accidental deaths in Britain and are the largest single cause of death and injury to young adults.
Statistically, new drivers are over 50% more likely to be involved in accident in the first year of passing their driving test as their reaction times can be slower than a more experienced driver by up to 2 seconds.
Although the Hazard Perception section of the theory test is meant to examine candidates' ability to assess potential dangers, such skills can truly only be mastered by additional practice behind the wheel of a car with a competent driver trainer.
