Do It Yourself Driving lessons.

DIY driving lessons quick picks

Our aim here is to give you a guide as to what to expect on your driving lessons, whether that is with an ADI or with family or friends. Remember that you must have a valid provisional driving licence covering the catagory of vehicle being used, meet the eyesight requirements and have no medical conditions that may effect you driving, prior to undertaking any driving lessons or practice.

PRACTISING WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS

There are three main ways family or friends can help. One is to take the learner out for private driving practise in their own car (subject to the legal requirements for the vehicle and accompanying driver) The Driving Practice Handbook will guide you through the key areas when undertaking private driving practice. The next is talking through a lesson or topic with the learner either before or after a driving lesson to make sure the learner fully understands/understood the lesson. And finally a rarely used way of helping is for the parent or friend to talk through their own drive showing/explaining how the learner should deal with a certain type of junction or situation.

All three ways either on there own or combined can be a great help to the person learning to drive.

Private Driving Practice or Do It Yourself!

It has long been felt that professional driving tuition backed up by private practice with friends or relatives is the best way to learn to drive.

Private Driving Practice can also help to greatly reduce the cost of learning to drive. If done Correctly that is!

The DSA (Driving Standards Agency) currently quote (May2008) the average number of hours taken to pass the practical test as, “45 hours with an approved driving instructor (ADI) with a further 22 hours of private practice”. The more structured and informative the private practice is, the greater the benefit to the learner, and to keeping the overall cost of learning to drive down.

Whether you are an ADI or the parent or friend of the learner, we should all be aiming for the same overall result, that is to assist the person learning to drive to become a safe and competent driver and to successfully pass their driving test.

Learner drivers will progress far more quickly if they feel safe and enjoy the process of learning to drive. You should therefore be aiming to put the learner at their ease and not to make them feel nervous, frustrated or angry. If you can be calm and clear in your approach, be understanding, helpful and encouraging the more enjoyable and productive the lesson time will be.
