The world of motoring is constantly changing. In recent years, we’ve seen major changes to the driving test, new rules and regulations surrounding car insurance, and the announcement of a future ban on petrol and diesel cars. Add that together with new models and emerging technologies, and there’s a lot to keep up with. That’s why we’ve created a dedicated news section to help you stay in the loop with all things driving. You’ll find all the latest news from car manufacturers, government bodies and other companies in the motoring industry, as well as useful breakdowns to show what it all means for you.

It’s the start of a new month, and at PassMeFast that can only mean one thing: a new county! Having already opened our doors to learners in Surrey and Kent in 2019, our third launch of the year is one of our biggest yet. That’s because we’re saying hello to drivers from Essex! As of today, anyone living in Essex can now book their very own PassMeFast course. Since we’ve only just arrived in the area, though, we’ve decided to put...

When learning to drive, one of the first aspects of the road you need to get to grips with is traffic signs. They provide valuable information about upcoming road conditions and help you to plan your journey. Always looking to help our learners where we can, PassMeFast has devised a new game that will help you familiarise yourself with some of the most common road signs out there. Introducing… Sorted! (*crowd goes wild*) Sorted—PassMeFast’s latest driving game Sorted challenges you to...

This January, we’ll be taking a look at some of the most important issues set to affect drivers throughout 2019. We’ll start with the potential effects of a no-deal Brexit on UK drivers in Europe, as well as examining the claim that 2019 may be the most expensive year for car ownership in history. In light of Prince Philip’s crash, we also ask whether there’s an age when drivers are too old to take to the road. Finally, we’ll take...

As a driving school, one of the most popular questions PassMeFast gets asked is, “How many hours do I need to get test-ready?” Given the wide range of courses we offer, it’s no surprise that some people get a little stumped on this issue! Up until now, we would usually suggest that people take a course assessment. That way, a trained instructor can determine your experience level. Let’s be honest, though, not everyone has the time (or funds!) to take this...

While PassMeFast will always call the north home, we’re now well established in southern England.

31st December 2018
It’s time for our final post of 2018. This one might be a bit emosh, as we take a look back at some of our top moments of 2018. Please bear with us—it’s been a big year for us, and we’d like to take a quick moment to celebrate! In 2018… We launched in no fewer than five new counties: Lancashire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, West Midlands and Greater London. A few new faces joined the PassMeFast office staff—we’ll soon get to meet all...
28th December 2018
Season’s greetings, PassMeFast Blog readers! We can hardly believe we’ve made it to the end of another trip around the sun, and yet it’s true: 2018 is almost behind us. Before we bid this year a fond farewell, we have just enough time to take a look at a few of the biggest stories from December. First off, we’ll take a look at data that shows that, while learners can now legally drive on motorways, most aren’t taking the opportunity....
