Driving Lessons in Moortown

Learn in a manual or automatic car with a friendly local instructor you can trust

If you’re in Moortown and ready to start learning to drive, you're in safe hands with Mike McGowan Driving School.

Whether you're more comfortable in an automatic or want to gain full control with a manual car, Mike offers calm, one-to-one lessons that move at your pace — not someone else’s.

Mike has helped hundreds of learners around Moortown become confident, capable and test-ready.

From first-time drivers to nervous adults starting again, he offers guidance that’s simple, friendly and fully tailored to you.

Choose what suits you best

Manual lessons give you the full driving experience, including the clutch and gears. You’ll gain the freedom to drive both manual and automatic cars after passing.
Automatic lessons are perfect if you want to focus on steering and road awareness without the stress of gear changes or stalling.

Both options lead to the same result — getting safely and confidently on the road. And you don’t need to decide straight away. You can try a few lessons and see what feels more natural.
