Manchester is the 5th largest city in England, with Greater Manchester being the 2nd most populous urban area after Greater London. It is located in the North West of England, East of Liverpool and South West of Leeds.
The Rainy City went through a lot of renovation in the late 90s, meaning modern roads and a bustling city centre.
Since Manchester is such a bustling city, it does mean roads may be a busier compared to other locations. So be mindful when out on the roads.
Manchester has a population of 547,627 (from 2018).
The best tips to save money whilst learning to drive is to buy bulk lessons. On average the UK learner driver needs 47 hours to pass - plus 22 hours of private practice.
This means, if you calculate the average number of sessions needed (47) and the average price of a lesson in Manchester (£26) you are looking at £1,222 to learn to drive.
That is a lot of money - but driving is a skill for life. It can help you gain employment, travel, and create everlasting memories.
Top tips for saving money on driving lessons
Here are some of tips for learning to drive in Manchester.
This road completely encircles Manchester. Practice getting on and off the M60 once or twice. You don't need to drive a ring around the city!
There are several test centres in Manchester and the Greater Manchester areas: Atherton, Bolton, Bredbury, Bury, Chadderton, Cheadle (Fire Station), Cheetham Hill, Hyde, Macclesfield, Rochdale, Sale and West Didsbury.
What's closest to you? Try driving around the various roads near the centre, but try to go later in the day, so as not to be a burden to other motorists sitting their test.
Since learners can now drive on motorways with their driving instructor - you can try getting on to the M61 and practice driving to Bolton and back. Gaining confidence on busy, large roads is key to becoming a great driver.
Not sure if you want to learn automatic or manual? Here is some advice for picking the transmission for you:
Cheaper tuition and cheaper car
You can legally drive manual and automatic cars
You can control vehicle with higher precision.
Quicker to learn - fast to route to freedom
Don't have to worry about clutch control or stalling
Electric cars are currently all automatic
Once you pass, your licence is automatic only. An additional test is required in order to allow you to drive a manual.
