PRIOR TO YOUR FIRST LESSON

  • Provisionary licence– you will require to provide both the card and paper parts of you licence on your first lesson. , if you need to use for a licence you can select up an application form from you regional post office or you can apply online at https://www.anewdriver.ie.
  • If you have actually lost part of your licence you need to replace this; you can do this online, by telephone or by post.
  • Financial backing– before beginning your lesson you will need to have a plan on how to pay for a full driving course whether this is through cost savings, work or household. If you do not have regular lessons, it does not pay to have lessons and then stop due to no cash as it will take you longer to pass your test.
  • Time– guarantee you have adequate time to commit to finding out to drive– after all it is a brand-new skill that you are getting that will need routine practice in order for you to advance.
  • We suggest you have one, two hour lesson every week under the supervision of an expert driving instructor.
  • Mindset– you need to be confident that you will find out how to drive however have the ability to make fun of yourself if you make mistakes, the majority of us do.
  • Drink– prevent caffeine-based beverages such as tea and coffee before your driving lesson as this accelerates anxiety and you will already be nervous. It goes without stating that alcohol must be avoided both on the day of your lesson, however also the night before.
  • Clothes– make certain that your clothing on your lesson is comfortable; you will be beinged in the car for at least an hour. Also make sure that you use ideal shoes that you can feel the pedals through– no walking boots, heels or flip flops.
  • Sleep– make sure you have a good night’s sleep the night before your lesson. You wish to make sure you look out as there will be a lot to take in on your first lesson.
  • Be prepared– on the day of your lesson make sure you have both parts of your licence, payment for your lesson and your glasses, if you need them.

BETWEEN YOUR LESSONS

When your driving lesson is over the learning does not have to stop there. To boost your knowing you could:

  • Fill out a learner driver journal or diary– when your lesson is over, fill out the journal with what you have actually covered in the lesson, what went well and what didn’t. You can use this to reflect on the lesson and get ready for your next lesson. If you have somebody to practice with between lessons, you can use the journal as a guide on what needs practising.
  • Theory and Danger Perception practice– use the web and books to revise for your theory test and threat perception test. The faster your theory is passed the much better.

Do not forget that if you have any questions about your lessons, your driving capability or anything else then just ask your trainer.
