Learn to drive in Basingstoke

Wayfarer is an independent driving school giving driving lessons in and around Basingstoke, Hampshire. Bernadette (Bernie) Warwick and myself, Richard Fosh, are the driving instructors.

Basingstoke - centre of the known universeI qualified as a driving instructor in 1987, and started working as Wayfarer Driving Instruction. Why the name? It's a long story...

Bernie joined me in 1999. (Jan was an instructor at Wayfarer soon after the driving school started, before emigrating to Australia, and Nikie trained many learner drivers for over ten years before changing careers to become a successful IT administrator).

Together, we've helped over one thousand local learner drivers pass their driving test. If you live in Basingstoke it's almost certain you will know someone who has achieved success through driving lessons with Wayfarer.

Pass Plus

Pass PlusStatistics show that one in five newly qualified drivers will have a car crash within the first year after passing their test. Pass Plus is a scheme where new drivers can take post test training, to minimise their risk of accidents. The course includes motorway driving, night driving, and coping with everything the British weather can throw at them.

Save £75
If you live in Hampshire, are aged 17 to 24, and have passed your test in the last twelve months, Hampshire County Council will pay £75 toward your Pass Plus course. Your insurance company may also give you a discount when you complete Pass Plus. Bernie and I are registered with the HCC scheme.
