Fantastic 1st time pass with 0 faults this morning awesome job buddy!! The early cancellation was worth it and just in time dor uni. Happy motoring buddy 🙋‍♂️

MEETING A NEW LEARNER FOR THE FIRST TIME.

“When I meet a new driver for the first time, what should I say when they first get in the car?”

This is a key moment for your relationship with a new customer. Chances are, they may enter your car preloaded with some fears and anxieties, so it’s important that you try to alleviate this right away, before they can grow.

Ask them something open, along the lines of “is there anything that you’re worried about when it comes to learning to drive?”

A large portion of them will say something like:
“I’m worried about crashing your car!”

This allows you to open up the conversation about verbal intervention, dual controls and how you can keep them safe, so they’ve nothing to worry about on that front.

“Is there anything else you’re feeling anxious about?”

They’ll often be concerned about “doing faults” and “getting shouted at”.

This is a key one, as they may have pre-determined ideas of what a driving instructor is like, based on their parents' experiences of 20 years ago.

For example, when I was learning to drive in 1999, “I’d like you to pull up on the left for a moment” actually translated to me as:

“Brace yourself, you’re going to get shouted at now!”

These could be some of the things your learner is expecting, based on their parent’s out-dated memories of learning to drive.

So make the point - this is a non-judgmental environment.

You’re not an examiner, so you can’t administer a ‘fault’ - and even if you were, this isn’t their driving test so you couldn’t give them a ‘fault’ even if you wanted to.

A fault is driving test language.
It’s right, or it’s a fault.
The test is judgmental by nature, but this is not a test!

A driving lesson is a much different setting.

It’s either:

They do it correctly - great! ✅

Or

They don’t - great!
You’re about to learn something! ✅

A mistake should be seen simply an opportunity to reflect and develop more efficient and safer ways of doing things.

Learners often think in driving test terms - right is good and wrong is bad - so flip it on its head.

“If you have a lesson where you make no mistakes - what have you really learned today”

“If you make mistakes, this is where you’ll have learned and developed the most.”

If you make these points to a brand-new driver, the scene will set for a none-judgmental learning environment for your new driver to flourish in, two equals working towards a mutual goal - not the judgmental instructor and the cowering learner scenario that they might have been expecting!

Training to becoming a driving instructor is no easy feat. It requires patience, dedication, and a whole lot of mental strength. The weight of thoughts can often grind a person down during the training process. It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the amount of information to learn, the pressure to pass exams, and the responsibility that comes with teaching others how to drive safely.

But you are not alone in this journey. By Sharing your struggles and successes with in this group can help lift the burden off your shoulders. Talking to fellow trainees, instructors, can provide you with much-needed support and motivation. They can offer advice, encouragement, and perspective that can help you see things in a different light.

Remember that it's okay to have doubts and fears. It's all part of the learning process. Embrace them, learn from them, and use them to fuel your determination to succeed. Stay focused on your goal, believe in yourself, and keep pushing forward.

Good luck on your journey.

A massive shoutout to Jay Blake this morning with a first time pass and 3 little faults recorded. Awesome work happy motoring buddy

Before any driving takes places, a common issue pupils have is understanding where they should be holding the wheel. It's important to have the most control whilst in a comfortable position. As below the 10 and 2 position, this way they are finger tip accessible to the ancillary controls I.e the wipers and the indicators. Can I drive with one hand? I get asked. The question should be. What is safer? 1 hand or 2?

How old do you think your children are when they start learning to drive.
Most of you will say 17.

It’s from the age of about 3 or 4.
They are your passengers. They often watch what you do, say and act.
So they are forming attitudes about road safety from a very early age. Where are these attitudes coming from.

When they are 17 you entrust them with us to help them pass their test.
BUT, it’s not just about passing their test.
It’s about developing safe and careful drivers. Between the ages of 17 & 25 they are most vulnerable due to the brain not having matured fully, especially the part that deals with danger and risk.
This age group make up a small percentage of the nations drivers but are involved in over 20% of the nations fatal RTC’s.

The majority of this is down to attitudes that are formed over many years from that young age.

Yet a lot of parents are more concerned with the cost of lessons and how many their child will need.
Many are not interested in the safety aspect of learning to drive. Just the cost.

So for that price you would like us to create safe and considerate drivers, which many of us do.

I’m proud of my record.
So let’s say we are talking about 45hours on average. In that time apart from actually learning to drive correctly and safely, we also possibly have to try and change an attitude to risk that has built up over at least 10 years.

This attitude generally comes from you.
So the next time you drive too close to the vehicle in front.
Do a dodgy overtake
Exceed the speed limit
Be an amber gambler
Run a red light
Start moaning and swearing about the driver in front.
Use your mobile phone!

JUST THINK FOR A MOMENT.

This behaviour and attitude is rubbing of on your child. And they will see it as normal behaviour.

So please help us to help you children become safe drivers.

A massive shy shoutout to Harry who passed in Gillingham this morning with 1 tiny fault recorded. Well done buddy you can breath now 🤣 if you are interested in a course get in touch 🙋‍♂️

👨‍💼WE ASKED THE EXAMINERS…🧑‍💼

⏰ HOW LONG IS THE DRIVING TEST? ⏰
“You’ll spend around 40 minutes behind the wheel driving on a variety of roads and traffic conditions .”

🤷 WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE I DRIVE? 🤷
“You will sign a declaration to say the car is insured for you and I’ll ask you to read a number plate from 20 metres away, so don’t forget your glasses or contacts if you need them to see clearly”

➡️ THEN WHAT? ➡️
“Next comes the ‘tell me’ questions, something like ‘Tell me, how you’d check your direction indicators are working?’”

🚗WHAT HAPPENS ONCE WE START DRIVING?🚗
“For approximately 20 minutes out of the 40 minutes, you’ll be driving independently.
This means you will either be following my satnav or the road signs to a destination. Taking a wrong turn is no big deal, as long as you do it safely, you are not being tested on your navigation , I just want to ensure you can drive safely.”

✋ WILL I BE ASKED A ‘SHOW ME’ QUESTION? ✋
“Yes, here I want to ensure you can use buttons and settings in the car while keeping the car safe. Here I’d like to ensure you can maintain the speed of the car, keep the steering under control and glance at the control panel if necessary.”

🚘 WHAT MANOEUVRES WILL BE PART OF THE TEST? 🚘
“As well as performing a hill start, pulling out from behind a parked car and making a normal stop at the side of the road, you may need to carry out an emergency stop.
You’ll also need to carry out one of the reversing manoeuvres.”

✅ HOW GOOD DO I NEED TO BE TO PASS ✅
“You need to prove that you are safe and competent. I’m not expecting perfection! As long as you don’t make anymore than 15 driving faults (minors) and no serious or dangerous faults (majors) you’ll be okay!”

😭 WHAT HAPPENS IF THE EXAMINER DOESN’T LIKE ME? 😭
“We are all trained professionals, we are here to judge your ability to drive safely, that’s all.”

🤞 AFTER THE TEST?🤞
“Whether you pass or fail, we will talk you through any faults you have made. If you’re unsuccessful, work on your faults and come back stronger. If you’ve been successful, you can get straight on the road as soon as your insurance has been sorted!”

Well done to Tyler passing this afternoon with only a handful of faults. Drive safe. If you are interested in a course, get in touch 🙋‍♂️

Massive shout out to Dean this morning passing in his own car this morning with only 3 little faults. Congratulations buddy. If you are interested in a course, get in touch 🙋‍♂️

🚗📚 Are you ready to hit the road and pass your practical driving test? 🚦📝

I will guide you through every step of the process, ensuring you have a solid understanding of the rules of the road. 🚦✅

For your driving test you will be behind the wheel for approximately forty minutes (seventy minutes if you are undergoing an extended driving test due to a driving ban).
For cars that are manual or automatic, the test is the same.
The driving test consists of five sections.

Section One: Examination of the eyes
It is necessary for you to read a license plate before you drive. If you do not pass the eyesight exam, you will not pass your driving test, and the test will be terminated.

Section Two: "Show me, tell me" questions
Two "show me, tell me" questions about car safety will be posed to you.

The examiner will ask one of the following questions to you:
"Tell me" questions (in which you describe how you would perform a safety activity)
"Show me" questions ask you to demonstrate how you would perform a safety duty while operating a motor vehicle.

If you answer one or both questions incorrectly, you will receive one driving fault, sometimes known as a "minor."

Section Three: General Driving Ability
You won't drive on motorways, but you will drive in a variety of traffic and road situations. You will receive instructions from the examiner that you must follow. You are unable to review driving test routes prior to your test because they are not previously disclosed.

Pulling over at the side of the road

During your test, you will be requested to stop and move away from certain areas, such as:

- normal stops at the side of the road
- pulling out from behind a parked vehicle
- a hill start

Additionally, you might be required to do an emergency stop.

Section Four: Reversing Your Car
The examiner will ask you to do one of these 3 exercises:

- parallel park at the side of the road
- park in a parking bay – either by driving in and reversing out, or reversing in and -driving out (the examiner will tell you which you have to do)
- pull up on the right-hand side of the road, reverse for around 2 car lengths, and rejoin the traffic

Section Five: Independent Driving
You’ll have to drive for about 20 minutes by following either:

- directions from a sat nav
- traffic signs

The examiner will tell you which you have to follow.

My patient, friendly approach will provide personalized training tailored to your needs, ensuring you feel confident and comfortable behind the wheel. 🚗💪

🚦Traffic Lights 🚦

Traffic lights are one of those things that most learner drivers are familiar with before they even start preparing for their theory test or practical driving test.

From a pretty early age, we learn that green means ‘go’ and red means ‘stop’; so you may think you don’t need to spend much more time thinking about traffic lights.

However, the traffic light sequence can often be a pitfall for learner drivers.

Given that you’re likely to drive through traffic lights on every journey, it’s important to make sure you’re confident with the traffic light sequence and how to approach them.

🔴 Red traffic lights

When traffic lights are red you must stop and wait behind the stop line. This applies to all road users, including cyclists.

🔴 Red and amber traffic lights
🟡

Red and amber traffic lights mean that the lights are about to change to green.
Stop and wait behind the stop line.
Prepare to go but don’t pass the stop line until the traffic lights turn green.

🟢 Green traffic lights

Green traffic lights mean you can GO!
You should still make sure the path is clear for you to go before driving off.

Give the car ahead time to move off and leave plenty of space.

🟡 Amber traffic lights

Amber traffic lights mean the lights are about to change to red.
You should stop unless it’s not safe to; for example
if you’ve already crossed the stop line or someone is driving very close behind you, so stopping wouldn’t be safe .

Looking for a driving instructor? Just a polite reminder …….

1. We are NOT waiting for you to call (week before you turn 17) as we've been fully booked for several months, plan ahead choose an instructor and get your name down on their waiting list!

2. Asking "how many hours do I need?" when the first few lessons have been completed, is like asking "how long is a piece of string?” Remember it’s a skill for life be patient and enjoy your journey!
Rome wasn’t built in a day!!

3. When asked upon enquiry whether you've driven before, does not mean in a carpark/forest with your mates!

4. The "cost" should NOT be your no. 1 priority!
We teach a life skill and it’s fine to pay £35-£40 for riding lessons, music lessons, football coaching etc. I can assure you that it's more dangerous to drive than the above!
Cheap is not always good!
Good is not always cheap!

5. When you cancel short notice, we charge! It costs US money as we all budget the hours we need to teach in order to live.

6. "My mate passed in 5/10hrs..." Really? We hear it all the time! Believe what you want ..

7. When you fail, take responsibility for it... It wasn't because the examiner didn't like you, it was a "Monday", it was a "Friday", etc
YOU were unsuccessful because you didn't drive to the required standard expected.

8. If you fail, don’t just retake a test, you failed FOR A REASON... You need additional training.
It's no good just taking another test - you were unsuccessful because you didn’t reach the standard required!

9. We, as instructors have heard all the stories about "my last instructor was unreliable etc" and in many cases, it's due to being charged for late cancellation of lessons (Our wages)!

10. We pay a lot to earn our qualifications, pass our exams, run our car i.e. fuel, insurance, tax, tyres, licence... When we tell you a certain way to do something, it's for a good reason so hearing "My dad said..." really doesn't help your cause!

11. Be patient with yourself - it takes times to learn. It does not happen overnight.
Learning to drive will probably be one of the most difficult dangerous skills you ever learn!

12. Don't stay up till 2am the night before and expect to be sharp the next day. No drinking, smoking, drugs etc

13. Practice makes perfect - practice practice and practice no lesson goes to waste when learning how to drive, we learn something new each time we get behind the wheel with different scenarios and situations, you will know when you are ready to leave us when you are doing everything confidently and independently!

14. The greater the effort the sweeter the reward ...so pay attention and ask as many questions as you need to ask 😉

Whoever you are and whoever you learn with enjoy the journey ! 💯

Have A Good Day 🚙 💨

Your Driving Test

Have you ever noticed all those passes and happy faces on every driving instructors page - including mine?

While it is great to see those happy faces it is really important to be aware of the hard work, and sometimes tears, it takes to get that test pass.
It's a moment worth celebrating, and that's just what we do.

We celebrate!

But what about those who don't pass?

The driving test is not an easy skill to achieve.
Each and every pupil who takes their driving test battles nerves, excitement, sometimes self doubt, and a hundred other emotions, it can sometimes end in a failed test.

If it wasn't such an insensitive thing to do I would put their picture on my page too and celebrate their bravery for trying so hard to pass.
Especially knowing they are planning to put themselves through it all over again.
Behind every pass is a pupil who didn't pass.

And what about the instructor?

Truth be told, when I watch my brave pupil drive off with the examiner I wish for nothing other than a happy ending.
Seeing your efforts result in victory is incredibly special, the very best feeling.
Sitting with a pupil who didn't pass is heartbreaking 🥲

I don't have a 100% pass rate, no instructor does.

But what I do have is you at the centre of my driving world.

When you drive off to start your test I want to put your smiling face on my page, and if it's not today, it will be next time 🙏🏾

To all my pupils with their driving tests approaching

Don't give up you've come so far
If there's a silver lining (and there always is) to an unsuccessful driving test it's that you now know precisely what to expect on test day.

You can ask friends and family and read first-hand accounts but, unless you've taken the test yourself, you won't know exactly what it's like

You can do this! 🫶🏾

Do you ever glimpse away from the road when driving?
Ever arrive somewhere and not remember the drive?
That’s because you’re not focused on your driving.

Driving test advice
🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘

Approaching your Driving Test - hope this helps;

Nerves can undoubtedly play a part in whether you succeed or fail a driving test, yet lots of very nervous people pass their driving test 1st time every day, HOW?

Well, firstly remember, instructors don’t teach you to fail, so stick to what they have told you and what you have been taught! You would not even be there if your instructor didn't think you were ready and more importantly SAFE! Forget what uncle Bill says about his test in 1975 it’s not relevant.

Don’t listen to horror stories from others about how bad their tests were, people love a bit of drama and they will always make things sound worse! Instructors are at the test centre far more times than family and friends!

Keep the date of your test and time to yourself, if you are nervous why have an audience?

Now this is important, STICK to the routines you have been taught, go through the procedures in your mind, mentally plan your manoeuvres and how to deal with junctions! Mental planning is so important, it helps you focus on the positive not on the possible negatives!

Remember your lane discipline, three reasons to be in the right hand lane:
Turning right
Overtaking
If ONE arrow tells you that you must use that lane.
Otherwise stay left!

Watch for road markings and signs they are like a silent instructor in the car!

The test lasts about the length of an Eastenders episode, just make sure you don’t have to go back for a second episode 🤣!

And please Don’t start googling stuff or watching you tube videos just before your test as it will only confuse you !

PS Bach’s Rescue Remedy is brilliant for helping nerves👍
Also eat a banana before your test as it will help with the nerves.

Before we know it the summer holidays will be here. What a perfect time to secure a course. If you are looking to secure a block of lessons or an intensive, get in touch 🙋‍♂️

A massive shout out to Alfie tutt on this fantastic 1st time pass with 0 faults recorded. Been a pleasure mate. Happy motoring in your new whip 😁

Ever been behind a Learner car and thought “What the hell are they doing?, or Get out of my way!”

Now imagine you are a pupil with Dyspraxia , severe anxiety, autism , Adhd, dyspraxia or dyslexia , this is just to name a few of the super powers you will come across in my car!

It’s worse when you stall at lights and your mind goes blank, the car behind beeping the horn is making it worse, the pupil presses the gas hard and lifts the clutch too quickly, luckily the instructor has dualled the pupil and stops them moving off the light has gone back to red!

Then you have the Learner car in front of you, going a bit too slow, pain in the butt, the young girl inside has just apologised to the instructor for not being herself today, but she has just found out her dad has a terminal illness!

Then we have the pupil who’s, dad has just left her mum, she is fighting back her tears and biting her lip trying her best to keep it together, her test is at the end of the week, she has to pass.

Not forgetting where the speed limits are 20 , we will teach 20, and 20 only, the speed limit is there for a reason !
We are daily getting tail gated on the 20 zones then over taken in the most dangerous scenarios!

Try driving at 20 in a 20 zone and notice how soon the car stops in an emergency!

Just a few of the scenarios that I have had as an instructor, there are many more I could relate to but let’s keep this message simple!

To you, we may just be an instructor giving a lesson, to our pupils, we are a friend, someone they can offload to, a parent figure, a counsellor and an instructor, someone they look up to , someone they can trust.

When you are behind a learner car:
BE KIND
BE PATIENT and try to understand, inside that car is a person trying to give a lesson and maybe a lot more, believe me it’s not as easy as it looks.

(Most of us have dash cameras which are recording every crazy move people make around us , which could be used in evidence if need be..)

Teaching someone to drive , we are teaching an essential skill for life, I like to make it a memorable one you could help us in the process and be nice when you see a Learner car.

Majority of our learners are your future, doctors, paramedics, plumbers, electricians, lawyers just to name a few!

As driving instructors we don’t want to inconvenience anyone we will move out of your way as soon as it is safe to do so .

Thank you for your patience ❤️

Often parents find the amount of hours recommended by the DVSA incredulous, so let's compare learning to drive in the 80's against the present day:

✅On average in the 80s, most of us learned with parents regularly, then took 10 - 15 hours professional tuition before passing the test.
✔Present day DVSA recommendations state 45-50 hrs + at least 25 hrs private practice, on average, are taken by those who pass first time.

UK Government statistics show the volume of cars since the 80s has more than doubled:
✅1980: 20 million; as a result parked cars were sparse, so meeting situations were rare and junctions were quieter.
✔ 2023: 43 million; parked cars fill every road near a town centre which displays no parking restrictions, and most other areas too.

✅No theory or hazard perception tests in the 80s; just revising signs and rules from the Highway Code.
✔Constantly updated question bank of 1,000 and a minimum score of 86%.
✔Hazard perception clips with a short scoring opportunity and one random clip with two developing hazards, and a minimum score of 59%.
Both these tests must be passed in the same sitting.
The currently active questions are not published.

✅80s: test duration 20 minutes, but often back within 15 minutes.
✔present day: test duration 35 - 40 minutes, but often longer due to heavy traffic and road diversions.

✅No parking manoeuvres in the 80s; the test comprised turn in the road (3 point turn) and the left reverse around a corner.
✔Present day manoeuvres are:
Reverse parallel park, finishing within the space of 2 car lengths of the lead vehicle..
Reverse bay park, left or right.
Drive forward into a bay, either left or right, then reverse safely out.
Pull up on the right (facing traffic) reverse 2 car lengths, then rejoin your stream of traffic safely.

✅No independent driving section in the 80s.
✔Present day requirement is 20 minutes of following signs or Sat nav. In the 80s Sat nav didn't exist, only paper road atlases and A-Zs.

✅No show me/tell me questions in the 80s, only a few questions randomly from a flip chart of signs and some questions on rules at the end. It wasn't possible to fail on this unless you got a motorway question radically wrong.
✔Present day test has one question asked before driving, then one action to be performed on the move, i.e. "In your own time, please wash your rear screen as we continue to drive."

✅Infrastructure of the 80s:
Very few bus lanes, even in London, and certainly no red routes.
Less parking restrictions.
Less roundabouts.
Traffic lights lacked advance stop lines and cycle boxes.
20 zones and traffic calming measures had yet to be introduced.
'Bobbies on the beat', 'panda cars', and traffic patrols were a common sight and this reinforced the standards on the road. This meant drivers tended to be courteous and give space to learner drivers.
Darth Vader was teaching us the Green X Code - Yes really!
Cycling Proficiency was taught within and outside schools; I still have my enamel pin badge.
Roads were maintained to a higher standard; a standard where you didn't have to weave through potholes on almost every street to avoid damage to your vehicle. Where white lines and road markings could seemingly survive a nuclear blast rather than disappearing inside 6 months.
Concurrent or 'satellite' roundabouts, like the infamous 'Magic Roundabout' in Swindon weren't yet a gleam in the road planner's eye, and neither were spiral roundabouts.
Cars were significantly smaller, with driver aids amounting only to auto wash/wipe and brake servo assistance.
For comparison:
1980 VW Polo: 3600mm long, 1560mm wide, 1340mm tall, 685kg.
2023 VW Polo: 4074mm long, 1751mm wide (exc mirrors), 1451mm tall, 1173kg.

✔Roads are now far busier, junctions and road infrastructure is more complex. There are vastly more signs, markings, vehicles and rules.

✔A candidate passing their test in the UK today is subject to The New Drivers Act for a period of 2 years: During this time accruing 6 or more points will mean your licence will be revoked. You will have have to reapply for a fresh provisional licence, pass the theory test and driving tests again, with all the expense that entails.

There must be some negatives for those of us learning in the 80s, surely?
Ok:
🤓 Cars tended to have only 4 gears, unless they were either luxury cars or sports cars; simpler, but also more imperative to match the gears precisely to the road speed.
🤓 Brakes tended to be drums rather than discs and the ability to stop was dire.
🤓Power steering was a luxury afforded only to luxury cars; the rest of us didn't need the gym for the upper body due to this omission.
🤓Mirrors were interior and driver side only.
🤓 We weren't taught any form of parking because it wasn't tested, and that shows in many drivers; some would still rather return home than reverse parallel park, even to this day.
🤓 Most ADIs taught us only enough to get us through the test rather than enough to be SAFE.

1st test of the year. Well done to James this morning fabulous 1st time pass with only 1 fault and you had cripple st. Kept it together. Happy motoring buddy 🙋‍♂️

To all those pupils who think they are ready or parents that think you should just give it a go.
Please read the following.

As driving instructors we can only advise people about their readiness to take a test!

You may think you are driving well when the instructor is:

Telling you when to change gear!
Asking you what the speed limit is!
Talking you through every manoeuvre!
Telling you which lane to be in!
Reminding you which exit to come off of on a roundabout because you forget!
Helping you when you can’t workout if there is enough space for you to get your car through!

If all or any of the above apply to you, then you are not test ready!

When the door shuts and it’s just you and the examiner, the car is the loneliest place to be, when you make a mistake and your brain goes to mush it’s the worst feeling ever!

Remember those family and friends who urge you to just have a go for the experience, aren’t the ones having to go through it, people have very selective memory’s when it comes to driving and tests!

Ask anyone who has failed a test if it was a nice experience!

Remember it’s YOU doing the test, no one else, no phone to google answers, no help from anyone else just YOU!

If you are up to standard, you will still be nervous, but you won’t be doubtful of your ability!

Go look in the mirror and have a straight talk with yourself!

This is a skill for life.
It saves YOUR life and other road users lives..

The big question is.......

Would you take an A level if you hadn’t studied enough and then expect to pass it?

Using media to spread awareness 🙌🏾

Thanks for reading.

A massive shoutout to my pupils who passed their driving test this year! Let's make 2024 even better. Congratulations guys happy motoring and a new year from me 😁😁😁
