  • Financial backing– before beginning your lesson you will need to have a plan on how to spend for a full driving course whether this is through cost savings, work or household. It does not pay to have lessons and then stop due to no cash as it will take you longer to pass your test if you do not have regular lessons.
  • Time– guarantee you have adequate time to devote to discovering to drive– after all it is a new skill that you are getting that will require regular practice in order for you to advance.
  • We advise you have one, 2 hour lesson weekly under the guidance of a professional driving trainer.
  • Mindset– you need to be positive that you will learn how to have the ability but drive to make fun of yourself if you make errors, the majority of us do.

  • Clothing– make sure that your clothes on your lesson is comfortable; you will be sat in the car for a minimum of an hour. Likewise ensure that you wear suitable shoes that you can feel the pedals through– no walking boots, heels or flip flops.
  • Sleep– ensure you have a good night’s sleep the night prior to your lesson. You wish to make sure you look out as there will be a lot to take in on your very first lesson.
  • Be prepared– on the day of your lesson make certain 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 knowing does not have to stop there. To enhance your knowing you could:

  • Fill out a learner driver journal or diary– as soon as 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 utilize this to reflect on the lesson and get ready for your next lesson. If you have someone to practice with in between lessons, you can utilize the journal as a guide on what needs practising.
  • Theory and Threat Perception practice– use the web and books to revise for your theory test and danger understanding test. The faster your theory is passed the better.

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