Question Driving Schools

Does anyone know if there are any driving schools in or near the town of Amandola and do the people use them?

No useful info to offer I'm afraid, other than try the local yellow pages.
Got me wondering though as to what exactly it is that is taught in Italian driving schools????

There is a driving school in Amandola, owned by a friend of mine. It is opposite the petrol station just as you turn into the Fermo road.

I learnt to drive and passed my test here in le Marche having failed 4 tests in UK !!

There are several schools; one in Sarnarno, 1 in Passo San Ginesio

Obviously one has to pass the theory test prior to lessons usually 3 evenings a week for 1 hr, that's the toughest part; the actually driving test is a doddle !!


if you require any other info; let me know.

I am under the impression that you are able to do the 'theory' part of the driving test in English if you want to. Check out this possibility if it would help.

I don't think that this is possible (to take theory in English)

when I took mine in 2005 it was either do a written in italian test or oral in Italian. I took the latter.

We have met a lovely young girl from Cuba who comes to our Italian lessons and she is currently going through the theory part of the test.She assured me the test materials were available in lots of different languages including English and Spanish.

Rosa.
In previous posts you have mentioned your links with Amandola, the Restaurant at Lago San Ruffino, the Baker in Amandola, etc. Surely these relatives could have given you the information that you are asking, much easier and faster than we could on the forum.

as has already been said there are plenty of driving schools in the area.
yes,they are used by people.
not only for learning to drive but for renewing driving licences,medical examinations for the same are usually also conducted there,you can pay your property tax on your car, even renew your passport and lots of other things to do with cars /driving.etc
many of these things can be done at little or no cost in public offices, but if you know public offices, you might well prefer for a modest charge to get things done at the local driving school..i usually do.
