Driving Lessons Glasgow Southside

We have been providing driving lessons in Glasgow Southside since 2006, and we cover all available test centres. We currently have 11 Glasgow driving instructors, offering driving lessons in locations from Clarkston to Kirkintilloch, and Partick to Hamilton.

On this page, you’ll find information on all of our Glasgow driving instructors along with their top tips for everyone about to begin their driving lessons.

Our Glasgow driving instructors are spread right across the city ensuring that wherever you’re based, Caledonian won’t be far away.

Glasgow is a great place to learn to drive due to the number of different road types you’ll experience in your lessons. On your test, you’ll be expected to be comfortable dealing with large, spiral roundabouts, rural roads, busy dual carriageways, as well as residential areas where space is sometimes at a premium.

Your driving instructor will ensure that you have plenty of practice at all these different types of roads and that you understand all the different challenges presented by each.

One of the great benefits of taking your driving lessons in Glasgow is that you’ll be very experienced by the time you get to test standard.

“I started learning to drive with Susan at the beginning of July with the aim of getting as many lessons under my belt before returning to uni in September. I didn’t expect to be ready to sit a test at the beginning of September and I really didn’t expect to pass it! Susan had a great way of explaining everything and always maintained a positive attitude which I appreciated. She was incredibly patient and helped me build my confidence. I really enjoyed the whole process I can’t imagine learning to drive with anyone else! Thanks again Susan!” Nicola Reilly, Hamilton

“Karen is the reason for my exchange from inexperienced learner to a confident, safe driver. She taught me not only how to drive a car but how to drive responsibly and why it is important to do so. I passed first time after around six months and in that time, Karen taught me all there is to know about road safety and taking control of the car, as well as putting a smile on my face on a weekly basis.

She is a patient and very experienced instructor and she has a brilliant personality- a genuinely lovely person with a great sense of humour! I would highly recommend Karen to any person of any age, regardless of how confident they feel; she is very easy to speak to and answered all of my questions. Caledonian LDT provided excellent materials for studying for the theory which undoubtedly helped me to pass. Never did I expect that an issue with passing my test would be missing my instructor so much! I will never forget her advice and can now drive confidently on my own. Thank you, Karen!” Emma Park, Paisley
