PRIVATE PRACTICE DRIVING LESSONS

If you have an opportunity for private driving lessons with friends or relatives – go for it! 

The more private practice driving lessons you can get the sooner you will gain the confidence needed to pass the test and drive alone, but make sure you follow your instructor’s advice when practicing – remember that driving is not just about passing a test, it’s about staying safe and staying alive.

When you practice stay cool and stay safe!

The person who sits with you when you are driving must be over 21 and have held a driving licence for at least three years – this is a legal requirement – both the driver and supervisor are responsible.

To get the best out of your practice, ask your instructor what, and where to practice All practice is good for you, but it’s easy to get a false sense of confidence if you only drive on open roads and at higher speeds.

Although you will learn quicker if you get more practice, I have a word of warning. When practicing with family or friends, remember that they are much more experienced than you, so listen to what they have to say.

If the advice given by the person who is supervising you is different to what your instructor tells you, find out the reason why. Get them to talk to your instructor about the up to date modern driving methods.

Looking to enhance your driving skills? Connect with instructors who provide constructive advice and tips for a stress-free and productive practice. Alternatively, invite them to sit in on a lesson and engage in insightful discussions. You might learn a thing or two, fostering a harmonious environment where knowledge and expertise flourish. Join hands on the pathways to safe and sustainable learning process.

THE MUST DO’S FOR PRIVATE PRACTICE DRIVING LESSONS

Ready to take the wheel on your private practice driving lessons? Before you hit the road, make sure your “must haves” are in check. It’s essential to possess a valid provisional licence and ensure that your car is fully taxed, tested, and displaying L plates. Don’t overlook the importance of insurance for driving on a provisional licence – it’s the key to keeping your licence intact and your responsibilities as a driver legally fulfilled.

Avoiding penalty points is crucial, so stay on the right track and fines at bay by steering clear of accumulating six points within the first six months of holding a full licence. Remember, responsible driving paves the way to success – let’s make your journey towards passing that test as smooth as possible, ensuring the safety of all road users. Together, let’s promote a harmonious and secure environment for pedestrians and motorists alike.
