At Latics Driver Training, we have always been proud of our high pass rates and we will be continuing the trend but at a much faster rate for some of our customers. Our intensive and semi-intensive courses have always proved popular and now we can offer our customers an even quicker way to get their licence.
Our new fast ‘pass in a week’ crash course means that customers can now start their lessons on a Monday and pass on the Friday!
Although these courses are referred to as ‘crash courses’, rest assured, we will not be teaching you to crash! Quite the opposite. Lessons taken intensively mean that with little time to forget in between lessons, learning is much quicker.
In fact, latest Government research found that of all successful test candidates, the average number of hours taken with an instructor was 47 and the average time taken to pass the test was 13 months! With our pass in a week crash course, the cost will be much lower than taking weekly lessons.
Our all-inclusive ‘pass in a week’ crash course is being offered at an introductory price of just £599, which means that compared to taking lessons weekly, you could save hundreds of pounds. Although the majority of our customers pass in less hours than the national average, based on the national average figures, you could save over £400 with our ‘pass in a week’ crash course!
We’re also so confident that the vast majority of our customers taking the ‘pass in a week’ crash course will achieve a pass at the end of the week that we guarantee to pay for your next test if you are unfortunate enough not to pass on the first attempt!
Places on the ‘pass in a week’ crash course are limited so to avoid disappointment, we recommend that you ring us on 0161 345 3452 or contact us through our website asking for an application form.

An off-duty traffic warden who assaulted a Driving Instructor from Failsworth in front of CCTV cameras faces the sack after a recent road rage incident. Peter Robinson ADI was chased by off-duty traffic warden, Jason Pheasey, after the instructor had accused him of jumping a red traffic light.
Mr Pheasey telephoned colleagues in the CCTV Operations Room to focus cameras on him in Moston one morning last May, and then proceeded to chase Mr Robinson’s car, blocking his progress and forcing him to stop, before getting out of his car and punching Mr Robinson in the face.
The victim suffered a nasty gash to his lip which has left him with permanent scarring and damage to his dentures. In a statement, Mr Robinson said the attack has also left him shocked and had lost some of his driving confidence.
Mr Pheasey, from Chadderton appeared in Manchester Magistrates Court and admitted assaulting Mr Robinson in a “moment of madness”, causing him bodily harm. He was given a three month curfew from 7pm to 6am with £60 costs and was also ordered to pay £250 in compensation and £200 to cover Mr Robinson’s loss of earnings.
Court Chairman Roger Walker told Mr Pheasey, “This was a dreadful act, you are lucky not to be going to prison”. Tim Hopley, defending, said Mr Pheasey was facing disciplinary action and would probably lose his job over the incident.

Thanks to all the staff and customers at Costco in Oldham for a great Trade Fair today!
Claire Wilmot & Sophie Holland
We were able to meet with many members of the public who were interested in learning to drive (or knew someone who wanted to learn). Sophie Holland (Office Manager), along with Frank Walsh ADI and Ric Hughes ADI were there for the full day to hand out leaflets, pens and road safety materials to passing customers, and some even got to try out the Theory and Hazard Perception test on site, too! Claire Wilmot (Managing Director) said, “today’s trade fair here at Costco has generated quite a lot of interest, and we hope to do more of the same in the future. Latics Driver Training prides itself on being the best driving school in the area, and it’s been great to have been able to meet and answer questions from the public about learning to drive”.
Special thanks to Sophie, Frank and Ric for all their hard work!
