we make learning simple
Welcome to our site, we have tried keeping things short, simple and down to the point.
- Sux-S driving school has been operating since 2014.
- Please contact us before making online payment if you already have a practical driving test booked that you want to keep, we will need to confirm if we have a driving instructor available for that date.
- Finding a driving test date is very hard due to the back log covid lockdowns/ restrictions created and in this current environment we are using test cancellation finding companies, we are currently using Driving Test 4me because they provide a complete service where they find you a test from scratch unlike others requiring you to provide them with a booking reference number.
- Our test day car usage charge is £85, this is one of the cheapest amongst driving schools. ( this is for Heaton or Thornbury test centre)
- You will be involved in planning your lessons, your learning environment will be a relaxed place to learn and your instructor will use progress chart so you can keep track of your progress.
- You concentrate on your learning and leave rest to us, we will go the extra mile to make it easy on you and your wallet.

Brilliant instructor. I really would reccomend them to anyone who wants to learn how to drive. My instructor was kind and taught me confidence, one thing I lacked being on the road. Now I am able to drive with confidence. They are not unreasonable. My instructor went extra further to help me pass. They are fair and you get your money worth.
Sarra Khan: High school English teacher.
I had one of the best driving istructors probably by far. I was very new to driving, I had to start with the basics. I always felt that I could ask questions, make mistakes (sometimes I couldn't help it :) ) but he explained every step ,always reminded me what to do at the same time he gave me enough independance and confidence to be able to become a confident driver in all areas , he is very knowledgable and clearly is outstanding at what he does. All the discussions and my prior lessons I had taken before taking my theory test helped me pass. He was always well prepared for each lesson, he would gave me feedback on my driving at the end of each lesson and discuss what I would need to work on to improve.I would most certainly advise if you are looking for a good company and excellent intructor go with Shafiq. 5 out of 5!!

What will happen if I pass my practical driving test and have not finished taking the package lessons I paid for?
If you passed your driving test without needing all the package lessons, then we will charge you for the lessons you have taken and reimburse you with the remainder.
So for example, if your package deal worked out you were paying £19 per lesson and paid for 30 lessons but only needed 23 lessons, then we will charge you £19 for 23 lessons and refund you for the 7 remaining which in this scenario would be 7 x £19.

What will happen If my circumstances changes and I'm unable to continue taking lessons, will I get refunded?
Firstly let us point out that we are among very few driving schools who offer package deals with instalment payments, usually you pay all money upfront.
You will be charged £25 for all lessons you have already taken and £20 admin/ accountant fee after this any remaining money will be refunded.

- You are not going into a contract meaning that you will have to take all the allocated lessons or risk losing all of the money. Without offending any other driving schools we consider this to be immoral and trapping someone, usually consisting of young adults.
- We can give you this discount as we are aware you will be taking X amount of lessons and therefore we can better plan our business.
- Our driving instructors will provide high standards of service ensuring that you will finish the course with us.
What can I do to control Covid-19 whilst learning to drive?
Making little changes in your daily routine habits will go a long way and 2 of the best things are whilst out and about do not touch your face with your hands and the second would be to wash your hands with soap & warm water for 20 seconds.
- If you are feeling unwell or have come across someone that is unwell, inform your driving instructor on the phone and do not wait for them to turn up at your door step because you need to isolate yourself and your household members. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/check-if-you-have-coronavirus-symptoms/
- Hand shaking should be avoided.
- If you are well and can take your lesson then, ensure to wash your hands before coming out.
- Wear a face mask, Face shield can become hazardous whilst driving as they may mist up however, you may want to discuss this in detail with your driving instructor.
- Keep windows down to allow plenty of ventilation. Wear clothes that cover your arms and legs completely and ensure wear clothes that will keep you warm.
- Your clothes should not consist of any animal fur.
- Eye contact with somebody whilst talking with them is common practise and polite however, this action should be avoided as you do not want to be face to face.
- Try not to share items like pens and visual aids in the car and please ensure to not bring items like mobiles or keys you do not need during the lesson however, if you are in need of them please bring a carrier bag where you can keep your belongings.
- Please ensure to arrive with the accurate money for the lesson, this way you will not be receiving change that has come from a third person. If possible pay for a few lessons in advance.
- When you go home, please make sure to wash your hands.

How many driving lessons will I need to take?
The Driver and vehicle standard agency (DVSA) are the organization whom will conduct your practical driving test when you are ready to take the test.
A study they carried out in 2013 concluded an individual needs approximately 45 hours of professional training and 22 hours private, for example driving with parents/family members.
So on average, a total of approximately 67 hours of driving experience needed to become test standard.
Table below is our guidance.
