If you are thinking of
learning to drive in Mill Hill, and are a complete beginner, then it is advisable to take the first few lessons with a qualified driving instructor especially if using a manual car for 2 reasons.
1. Driving Instructors will have a full knowledge of the local area, and can choose a suitable location for the time of day and ability of the provisional licence holder. The first few lessons a learner takes will have a big impact on how they do later, especially if they are nervous or are slow learners which means location and the ablity to adapt is important. Most family members or friends will only probably know one street or might not even have a clue, and expect you to be able to drive from outside of home.
