BSL Driving School

We are the only driving school that specialises in teaching profoundly Deaf and hard of hearing people to drive. All our Approved Driving Instructors use British Sign Language and are fully trained in teaching Deaf and hard of hearing people to drive. Plus they sign clearly and are patient and understanding. We modify our driving lessons to suit each pupil’s needs and have developed a safe sign-while-driving technique to help you learn on the move. This means you’ll spend more time driving and less time parked up. At the start of your first lesson the instructor will agree certain signs with you which they will use whilst on the move. These signs will continue throughout your driving lessons and can be changed or adapted to suit what works best for you. You will be taught the entire learning to drive syllabus which includes general driving, the reversing manoeuvres, the emergency stop, the ‘show me tell me’ questions and some mock (practice) tests too. Your instructor will also act as an interpreter for you on the day of your driving test and may sit in the back of your test to give you moral support and interpret for you and the examiner if you wish.
