Book the offerLearning to drive around Abbey Hey
Abbey Hey is part of Manchester, so your lessons build up to the roads learners here meet every day: city-centre one-way systems, bus lanes, trams on shared streets, the Mancunian Way and busy multi-lane roundabouts — plus quieter residential roads to build confidence first.
We begin somewhere calm near Abbey Hey and only head for busier roads when you're ready. Every new skill is introduced slowly and practised until it clicks. Before your test we'll practise around Cheetham Hill and West Didsbury test centres.
M18 also covers Gorton, Belle Vue — we teach there too.
Every lesson is logged in the free DriveSQ Student Portal, so you can see your progress between lessons.
