DRIVING LESSONS FOR LEARNERS

Many young drivers start their training with a professional instructor. Being experienced at providing driving lessons to beginners means we don’t get stressed about everything little mistake. The driving school car is also fitted with an extra set of pedals on the passenger side so your instructor can help if you get anything wrong.

PREPARING FOR YOUR FIRST DRIVING LESSON

As you look forward to your first time in the driver’s seat, you’re going to be excited. You will have lots of questions and probably feel a bit nervous too. That’s ok! Most people are anxious at first. We know exactly how you feel. Remember we were learners once too! From your first contact with us we’ll do everything we can to make you feel comfortable. It can take a bit of practice to master the basics of driving. Don’t worry if you make a few mistakes. That’s all part of learning something new. We don’t expect you to be perfect and are ready to help if you get it a bit wrong.

WHERE WILL I START DRIVING?

Usually, we arrange driving lessons from your home but let us know if you need to meet somewhere else. Your first lessons will always start on some empty residential streets. If you live in a busy area your instructor may choose to drive to a quieter place before getting you to drive. This allows you to master the basics without the distractions and pressure from other road users.

WHAT TO BRING TO YOUR FIRST DRIVING LESSON?

All learners must have their learners permit with them when driving. This is a condition of the permit so always carry it with you. Your instructor will also need to get some details from your learners permit before you start. This is to make sure they are meeting their legal and insurance obligations as a driving instructor. Your instructor will record the time they have been supervising you to help build up your 120 hours.
