Welcome to Greenlight Driving School, the driving school for personal driving lessons in Ashbury. You learn to drive at your own pace, with calm, patience and clear explanations. We also have lots of experience with ADHD, ADD, test anxiety or a fear of driving. That way you pass your test with confidence.
From the first introduction to your test: at Greenlight in Ashbury we keep it simple and structured, so you always know where you stand.
In the trial lesson you meet us and the learner car. Together we look at where you stand, with no obligation at all.
We build up calmly and practise in every traffic situation. That way you are prepared for anything, also once you drive alone.
With a mock test we prepare you in a focused way. After that you take your practical test with confidence.
Test your knowledge with situations you may come across in your driving test: priority, road signs, speed and looking out safely. We explain the answer straight after every question.
You approach a junction with give way lines and a triangle painted on the road. What should you do?
Give way markings mean exactly that: you let all traffic on the major road go first — including cyclists and motorcyclists.
What is the speed limit in a built-up area with street lights when there is no sign?
In a built-up area with street lights the limit is 30 mph, unless a sign shows something else (for example a 20 mph zone).
You are about to leave a roundabout. What do you do?
When you leave a roundabout you signal left just after passing the exit before the one you take. That way others know what you are going to do.
When must you use dipped headlights during the day?
Use dipped headlights whenever visibility is seriously reduced, for example in heavy rain, spray or mist, so others can see you in time.
A round blue sign with a white bicycle means:
Round blue signs give a positive instruction. A white bicycle on blue means: route for pedal cycles only.
You want to turn left at a junction. What do you mainly check just before turning?
Turning left is a classic test situation: check your left blind spot over your shoulder for cyclists and motorcyclists.
An ambulance approaches from behind with flashing lights and a siren. What do you do?
Always let emergency vehicles through: make room and pull over or stop safely if needed, without breaking the law.
When may traffic in the left lane of a motorway move faster than traffic on the right?
Normally you overtake on the right. Only in congested, queuing traffic may the left lane move faster than the right — that does not count as overtaking on the left.
Pick a route and play the animation. We practise in the town centre, on the ring road, on the motorway and on country roads. That way you will soon drive anywhere with confidence.
"Passing is great. But above all I want you to keep enjoying driving, for the rest of your life."
As a calm, patient instructor with a teaching background, we guide you from your very first yards to your licence. Small steps, plenty of practice in every traffic situation, and never faster than you can handle. That way you build road sense and confidence behind the wheel.
Every lesson at your pace and goals.
Always the same familiar face.
Experienced with tailored guidance.
Safe, with dual controls.
A selection of learners who passed their driving test with Greenlight Driving School.
Had a really good time learning with Martin. Friendly atmosphere, calm, and he takes all the time you need to get better. He tells you exactly what to work on and gives positive feedback. Passed first time, definitely recommended!
I could already drive an automatic, but had to learn manual for our family car. Martin taught me in 6 lessons, including the trial lesson! Very patient, clear explanations, and no package of 20 lessons pushed on me like bigger schools do. Recommended.
Passed first time! I have ADHD and got personal guidance from the very start. Even better: he taught me to use it to my advantage. Always calm and friendly, but honest when needed. Top driving school!
Lots of laughs with Martin, and he took my autism into account really well. A genuinely kind man who guided me excellently all the way to my test.
At first I was really nervous about driving. The lessons were adapted to that. Martin is a friendly, excellent instructor who looks at what works for you, gives clear directions and stays calm. Hugely helpful!
I had failed five times before. In a few lessons Martin rebuilt my basics and changed my mindset, so I passed easily. Every lesson was educational and fun. Really recommended.
Great instructor, you drive in a comfortable car and he treats you well as a person. That makes the lessons really pleasant. Top driving school!
Brilliant driving school! Both our children really enjoyed their lessons with Martin, and both passed first time. Recommended for anyone who wants to learn to drive safely and with pleasure!
The great thing about such a skilled instructor: he tells you exactly how things will go, and that is how it goes. Precision, knowledge and technique, with a good atmosphere and nice conversations in the car. Thank you, Martin!
