Here at Lifetime, we’re all fully qualified DVSA Approved Driving Instructors. We’re from various backgrounds but we’ve all got one thing in common, which is not only to get you to pass your driving test but to get you driving safe for your life. We cover Bolton and due to exceptionally high pass rates and recommendations we have now expanded into Bury and Ramsbottom and offer discounts for block bookings for those who wish to do so. We have male AND female instructors so you will definitely find an instructor with us who will help you relax, have fun and enjoy your experience of learning to drive – this instructor will stay with you until you pass your test and all our instructors are fully DBS checked. As a driving school, we have very impressive first time pass rates and plenty of experience in driving tests as our very own Lynne Fitzharris (owner of Lifetime and fully qualified ORDIT registered DVSA approved driving instructor) worked for the DVSA for 27 years as an Assistant Chief Driving Examiner in which part of her role was to actually conduct driving tests. Interesting fact…Lynne has conducted well over 30,000 driving tests during her time with the DVSA, most of these being carried out at Bolton Driving Test Centre, so to quote Lynne “there ain’t much about driving tests and how to pass that I don’t know”!!! Lynne’s extensive knowledge has been passed on to all our instructors here at Lifetime as we are all internally trained by the oracle herself!!!…so you can be assured that the training you receive is unique, extremely accurate, modern and up to date with the new driving test requirements. So if your looking for driving lessons in the Bolton, Bury or Ramsbottom area you’ve come to the right place. Simply fill in the form below and we will be in touch.

I passed my driving test first time. This is because Roger is thorough in the lessons and patient. He has unique ways of explaining each problem you may come across while learning to drive. He is a good driving instructor and I would recommend his services.

5 stars all around

I had Ruth as my driving instructor from Lifetime Driving and she was absolutely amazing! As someone who struggles with anxiety around driving I consistently felt supported and encouraged with patience and understanding. I was able to pass my test first time with only one minor. If you're looking for an instructor that can turn you into a confident and safe driver then Lifetime is definitely the place to go to.

Amazing experience

I absolutely loved my lessons with Ruth. It was so enjoyable, relaxed and personalised to me. Our lessons really built my confidence as a driver and Ruth made things so easy to learn and remember. Not only has she taught me how to pass my test but also how driving in the real world will be. For anyone learning to driving I 100% recommend Ruth as she is an incredible instructor. Thank you Ruth!!

Anxious learner, now confident driver!

I was extremely anxious when I first started my lessons, after years of accepting maybe driving wasn’t for me Carin changed my mindset.
Carin has been a fantastic teacher, with her memorable phrases and reassurance she has made learning to drive a positive experience.
I would highly recommend Carin at lifetime driving standards for anyone who has anxiety around learning to drive.
Thank you again Carin!

Couldn't have done it without Ruth

Ruth has been a fantastic driving instructor! She made my lessons fun and catered to exactly what I needed to learn. Ruth gave me great techniques that I know to use now whilst I'm out driving by myself. Couldn't have done it without her!

100% Recommend

As a nervous learner driver, Roger was very patient and helped me overcome my fear of driving. The driving lessons were fun and relaxed, and without his guidance I wouldn’t have passed first time. 100% recommend.

100% recommend!

I couldn’t recommend Roger enough. I’ve had a little previous driving experience with another instructor in a different area. I didn’t learn half as much as I did with Roger in more than double the time. I managed to pass first time, only doing lessons over 2 months. He was so patient with me, as I really struggled with anxiety and confidence, and no matter how many times I said ‘I can’t do this’ he always gave reassurance. And I obviously can do it .. because I passed! He made me feel very comfortable from the first time I met him, was always accommodating and worked as best he could around me and my availability. I (literally) couldn’t have done this without him! Thank you Roger. I will always recommend this company!!

Roger was great!

Roger was really patient while I was learning to drive and made me feel confident from the very first lesson, by explaining things in great depth, in order for me to be safe in a car before and after passing. Roger made my experience of learning to drive very positive and his humour helped to ease the stress of learning a new skill and allowed me look forward to upcoming lessons. Thank you Roger.
