Why choose us
We believe that driving is a life skill, and our focus goes beyond passing the test. We aim to instil safe driving habits that last a lifetime. By choosing Elephant Driving School, you’re not just signing up for lessons – you’re investing in a future of safe and responsible driving.
We recommend a Driving Assessment for individuals with specific conditions or unique driving requirements. This assessment helps us identify the best training and adaptations for your needs. It’s ideal for individuals who:
- Have a medical condition such as a stroke, dementia, epilepsy, or another neurological condition.
- Experience psychological challenges, physical disabilities, or visual impairments.
- Hold or are seeking a provisional driving license.
Our team can assess your individual situation and advise on the best training and adaptations to help you gain independence behind the wheel. We are experienced in handling a wide variety of conditions, including deafness, recovery from brain injuries and adapting to challenges such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, or cerebral palsy.
For individuals with straightforward needs, a standard Driving Assessment typically takes 3-4 hours. However, for those with more complex requirements, we recommend a Hi-Tech Assessment, which may take up to six hours to complete. These assessments ensure that we fully understand your needs and provide the most suitable solutions for your driving journey.
