- Then we work on whatever you choose: busy junctions, roundabouts, dual carriageways, parking or particular routes such as your commute.
- Six hours, usually taught as three two-hour sessions, in a dual-controlled car.
- Pick-up and drop-off within the areas I cover.
Questions
Do I need a full licence?
Yes. The Refresher course is for full-licence holders. If you're still learning, a 10-hour block or one of the other courses is the better fit.
Can we practise my commute?
Yes. If you tell me the route, we can drive it together.
Is six hours enough?
For most people returning to driving it is. If you want more, extra hours are at the standard hourly rate.
