Learning to drive might be something that comes naturally to some but for other people it is something that can be very challenging and nerve racking too. For those of you that are worried about making the step forward at learning to drive here are just a few tips for you.
Don’t Be Ripped Off
There are hundreds of “driving schools” out there to choose from and although you want to pick a good one you do not want to pick one that is too expensive. Never go for the first choice when it comes to driving and you should always be doing research on each and every company to see what their success rates compared to prices they charge are. When looking for the best company I would always look to see if they can provide you with some legitimate testimonials from some of their previous students.
Take It Slow
The key thing to remember is that you are not going to pass the test overnight and it is something that is going to take plenty of time. You will not be doing much for your first couple of lessons so don’t get disheartened at an early stage, it would be a big mistake. Although you will take it slow to begin with as your lessons progress you will find yourself in trickier and more interesting situations.
Don’t Panic
Panicking only leads to one thing, failure. If you are really worried about pulling out to a busy junction then don’t do it and explain to your instructor that you need help as that is what they are there for! There is also no point in worrying about crashing or speeding or anything like this and this is because your instructor will have controls their side and they can take over if you panic and do something wrong!
Onto The Test
Once you have gotten past all of the previous steps and you are at the stage where your instructor feels you are read y to take the test then just go for it! When you are taking the test the key thing is to emphasise everything you are doing even if it makes you look a bit stupid. For example when you are adjusting your mirror make sure you lean forward and really go for it as it shows the moderator that you know what you are doing.
When you are parking you also need to know that you are not timed and as long as you are looking at what is going on in the road around you then take your time!
These are just a few tips on learning to drive and passing the test, the next step is buying your first car!
