Joe’s Driver Training – Ballymena

FREE LOCAL PICK UP SERVICE?
Almost every driving school in Ballymena offers a free local pick up service.You may want to consider the best place to get picked up.

If you live 15 minutes outside Ballymena and your driving lessons are at the stage where you need experience in town driving, the time spent travelling (30 minutes) is not going to be much benefit.

The best value solution might be to get picked up from work or school, or you may sometimes have other reasons to be in Ballymena. Why not make arrangements with your driving instructor to get picked up in town?

FREE THEORY SUPPORT?
When you study for the theory test it is important to use the most up to date materials including the latest edition of The Official Highway Code for Northern Ireland.

Not all driving schools offer this free service, those who do can save you time and money by suppling all the relevant study materials to prepare you for the theory/hazard perception test.Books, discs, official highway code and questionnaires are free to take home as long as they are returned in good condition when you pass the theory test.

Remember to discuss any difficulties you may be having with your driving instructor each time you meet. The benefits of using this free service are,that you can be sure the materials you are using are latest editions to prepare you fully to pass the theory test first time.

Be sure to take the preparation for the theory test seriously, it is an important part of becoming a safe and confident road user.

Read the highway code thoroughly to understand the rules and explanations.Aim to pass first time as failure results in the expense of another test fee and the time spent waiting for another test date.

BLOCK BOOKING DISCOUNTS?
Book 5 driving lessons/hours or more to get a discount, this offer is very popular everywhere among driving schools, Ballymena included, you can pay for driving lessons in advance to get discounts.

The downside of block booking is that if you are not happy with your driving instructor, you may have to stay with them until you have taken all the hours.

The solution is to take the 1st one or two driving lessons at the pay as you go rate, when you are sure that you are happy with your driving instructor block book the next 5 driving lessons and get a discount, your driving instructor will be happy to do this.
