Choosing driving instructor

[Kirsty]

Hi all, I am looking into starting my driving lessons. I am quite keen on doing one of the semi-intensive courses, but I am not sure who to go with. I really dont want to end up paying for one of these courses and finding that I dont get along with my instructor or they make me feel uncomfortable ect. Friends have advised I find a female instructor but I cant seem to locate any in my area. Can anyone advise me please? Kirsty

Hi Kirsty,

Have you looked on the LDC Website, [url]http://www.learnerdriving.com/l2d_localinstructors.html[/url] - here you can find a local instructor near you.

You will find that most instructors give a no-obligation free demonstration of the materials and lessons in your own home.
Here you can meet your potential instructor and decide whether you are happy.

This is what I have done; it was my first lesson today and I’m very happy.

Hope this helps. - Ben

I all would like to start by thanking my driving school who are Echo driving school based in south london Tooting. Any body thats wants to learn in a friedly mannner without the ADI shouting at you, I would recomment this school for many reasons, one being they are cheap £20 where as others charge £24 an hour. Also Echo driving school use the dsa book to teach the MSPSL methods as well. Hope you find the right school

Hi,

Many driving schools are there in Uk.
But be aware while choosing the driving instructor.

He should be reliable and registerd with dsa.

At the time of choosing insrtuctor 1st talk with him if you think that he is better for you to guide to drive and you will pass your driving test then you move further.

Hope this will help.

If you are a learner for driving any vehicle, being taught by a Professional driving instructor is highly important.

An expert driving instructor knows safe driving rules, and will teach you to drive safely. Always some learners are nervous while driving, so these experts should know how to handle these types of learners.

Driving Practical Test – Preparation

While choosing the driving instructor, don’t go for the cheapest option. Always give priority to those to whom you go by reference. Referred driving instructor is the best way to search the professional instructor. Always discuss with friends before you choose driving instructor.

During these lessons, the learner driver needs to remember what they have been taught by their driving instructor and should accordingly follow the same methods into practice. Compressing as many lessons as possible in a short period of time may not be good for all learners. If time and money allow, the learner should try to book in at least one lesson per week with a driving instructor and preferably two, for 1-2 hours per session.

When the driving instructor feels that the learner is ready for the full practical driving test, it is always good to perform a mock test. This will involve the driving instructor to act as the examiner and for the learner driver to take instruction and execute a number of procedures that will be given, such as turning the car in the road. This will give the learner a good example of what to expect on the actual test, so that he can be prepared as well as possible.

The examiner will test the driver on a selection of exercises that have been covered in the previous lessons, and will assess the ability of the learner to drive competently.

Finding the right driving school is important for succeeding in learning to drive and passing your practical driving test. It is important to find a suitable local driving instructor that makes you feel comfortable and confident while you are learning to drive.
