LEARNING STRATEGY

INTENSIVE COURSES

The quickest and most successful way to learn to drive is concentrated driving lessons. Continuous progress can be achieved more easily with an intensive course of lessons, because you have less time to forget and can pick up from where you left off more easily. It is impossible to give a firm number to the lessons a learner will need without first seeing how they take things in. Everyone learns to drive at a different rate that is individual for them. Some are fast learners, some are slow, an average driver can pass their test with 30 hours driving tuition. The first rule is 'Get the best tuition you can find' ie; Chequered Flag.

DEVELOPMENT

Driving is a skill that can, in time, be acquired by just about everyone. This will depend on how quickly they develop a good rapport with their driving instructor and if the instructor can find the most effective way to teach them with regard to their natural aptitude for driving. If they have previous experience of driving a moped on the road, or driving on private land, they have an advantage that could well reduce the number of lessons needed. Any other legal driving that can be taken outside driving lessons ie; with friends or relatives, in general this will make it quicker to learn to drive and pass the test.

TECHNIQUES

Try to think about driving when on the bus or being driven in a car looking out for hazards and dangerous situations. Keep your eye out for vulnerable road users such as children, cyclists, motorcyclists etc, and notice road markings, traffic signs etc. These are all excellent things you can do to to speed up the time it takes to learn to drive an save yourself a lot of money in driving lessons. Remember though, the more tuition you receive the better driver you will become.
