Latics Driver Training

Latics Driver Training Ltd.

1 Falcon House, Falcon Business Centre, Chadderton

LATICS has numerous driving instructors boasting vast experience, offering their services across Oldham, Ashton, Saddleworth and as far as Manchester.

They offer a “friendly and relaxed learning environment with clear goals set for each lesson”.

They recommend practising skills as often as possible, saying “you will get better much sooner.”

Latics website says: “Combining driving lessons with private practice with a friend or relative is an excellent way to gain more experience on the roads. If practising with a friend or relative is not an option, taking driving lessons more than once a week can accelerate your learning and result in taking less lessons in total, saving you money.” Sounds like good advice.
