Learning to drive – who should take driving lessons and why learning to drive is important

Learning to drive is something absolutely crucial nowadays. Once you have learnt, you will have acquired a life-long skill that will be useful in many situations.

Particularly, when taking driving lessons with prepared and expert instructors, you will also learn how to drive a car in the most secure way, both for others and yourself.

What you will learn

Driving lessons should be attended by everyone that wants to learn to drive and get their driving licence. The best choice is to find a good driving school, which can properly prepare you to drive in different situations and environments.

You will not only learn how to drive a car, but how to recognise and read signs, be aware of your surroundings, plan ahead and how to behave on the road with other road users around you, last but not least, how to manage any of the dangers and perils that you can face when driving a car.

You will learn to drive through residential, rural and city areas, paying attention to the various ‘obstacles’ and hazards that you may find on your way: people walking, bikes, motorbikes, other cars and buses, just to name a few.

Driving and your job

It is important to have driving lessons not just because you will learn how to behave properly when on the road, but also because driving is a real skill.

In many cases, when getting a job, your employer will require you to have a driver’s licence. People that work directly with customers and clients often need to go directly to them, sometimes in places that public transportation does not reach with ease, or does not reach at all. Having a driving licence will help you when facing such a situation, and in some cases add an important skill to your resume.

Driving in the UK for a foreigner

Even for a foreigner, taking driving lessons in the UK could be very useful. The UK is one of the few countries where cars drive on the left. Left-hand drive can surely be tricky for those used to driving on the right side of the road. It is advisable that everyone coming from a right-hand driving country take some driving lessons for the left-hand side, to get used to it.

With the left-hand drive your point of reference and the actual way you drive changes dramatically, thus having an instructor explaining and helping you in the change will be quite helpful.

In any situation, driving is something serious: it can be fun, but it can be also quite challenging. There are many speed limits and rules which drivers have to follow to prevent dangerous situations, and only with the help of an instructor can you follow a path, acquiring the skills through time and becoming a good and safe driver.

A 6-step guide in the event of a road or traffic accident.

You never know what’s just around the corner, so stay prepared and in the know with our road safety guide

Crashes are thankfully rare, but they’re shockingly quick and scary – leaving you unable to think straight.

Unless you’re already prepared, that is. Here’s what you need to know.

1. Stop

The first thing to do is stop. It’s an offence to leave the scene of a collision. Even if nobody was injured you must swap names and addresses.

It doesn’t matter if you’re at fault or not, and even if there’s no other person there – you’ve hit a parked car, for instance – you must still stop and leave your details.

It’s an offence to refuse to give your details, but if you exchange them on a damage-only accident, there’s no need to notify the police.

2. Make sure everyone is safe

While you should stay near your car long enough to clear things up, this mustn’t be at the expense of safety.

If vehicles are in a dangerous position or blocking the road, make sure everyone’s out of the way and that someone warns approaching traffic.

But use your common sense, of course. You shouldn’t move a badly injured person, or send yourself or anyone else into a dangerous position trying to flag down oncoming cars. Only you can decide what’s safe.

 3. Call the police

Section 170 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 requires that you report the accident to the police if a driver fails to stop, or refuses to exchange details, whether there’s injury or not. You must always notify the police if there’s an injury.

If somebody’s badly hurt or the scene is potentially dangerous, call 999. To report a collision where there’s no emergency, call 101 to avoid tying up the emergency line.

You must make your report within 24 hours – or you risk fine, points on your driving license or even find yourself disqualified!

4. Give the right details

It sounds harsh, but it’s best to avoid saying sorry or accepting blame at the scene. It could be used against you later. It’s better to wait until you know all the facts, and aren’t in an emotional or shocked state.

That’s not to say you should be awkward or confrontational. You must give your name and address to anyone involved, and call an ambulance for anyone who needs it.

5. Get the right details

Ask for names, addresses and phone numbers of those involved, and make sure the driver is the registered keeper. If not, ask who is and get their details too.

Note the make, model and colour of any vehicles, plus the number plates. You should also note the time and date, and take the names and addresses of any witnesses.

6. Take photos

Chances are you or a witness will be able to take pictures with your phone, so take shots of where the cars ended up, the damage and the road conditions. Record the scene from several angles so the details are clear.

If you don’t have a camera, sketch the positions of the cars and note the weather, the road conditions and any injuries. It will help you remember what really happened later.

As reported by Sky!

The three-point turn could be scrapped as part of the biggest shake-up of the driving test in 20 years.

Learner drivers could be asked to use a satellite navigation system as part of a revised practical exam, designed to “better reflect real-life driving”.
Around 1,000 learners across the UK will be asked to take part in a trial of new practical exam measures.
The test has existed in its current form for two decades, with an “independent driving” section where motorists are asked to find their way to a destination added in recent years.
A Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) spokesman said: “We are carrying out initial research to explore how the driving test could better reflect real-life driving.
“Any future changes to the test would be subject to full public consultation.”
The independent driving section of the test could be extended from 10 to 20 minutes of the 40-minute test length.
Candidates taking part in the trial are likely to be asked to follow directions on a sat-nav as an alternative to using road signs.
It will also consider replacing the “reverse around a corner” and “turn in the road” manoeuvres with moves such as reversing out of a parking bay, or pulling up on the left or right before re-joining the flow of traffic.
Driving Instructors Association chief executive Carly Brookfield said: “The association has been heavily involved in the scoping of this project and is enthusiastic about the opportunity it presents to evolve the L-test to a level where it more realistically assesses a candidate’s ability to competently and safely manage road-based risk and driving in real life, on real roads.”

Who can teach you and what vehicle can you learn in?

You are legally allowed to learn in your own, or an acquaintance’s vehicle, so long as you are accompanied by an licensed driver who is over 21 and has a minimum of three years experience.

As with normal driving you must ensure your vehicle is road worthy and that you have the correct insurance.

Although many new drivers will have a friend or family member to help them learn, it is recommended that you use an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) for the bulk of your learning and practice.

At Experience Driving School we have a dual controlled manual and automatic cars which greatly improve your safety on the road whilst learning to drive.

Experience Driving School instructors are also aware of the official syllabus and will structure your learning around what you will need to learn in order for you to pass your test.

Getting Started

Learning to drive  

Every qualified driver usually has a story to tell about their driving lessons or their driving test experience. 

While it is often interesting to hear these, students who are learning to drive should focus on the up to date advice available from their professional instructors or those at drivinglessonsnewcastleupontyne.co.uk

Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs) hope that every candidate they teach and put in for a driving test passes first time.  The majority of ADIs would also agree that there is much more to learning to drive than passing the test. At Experience Driving we strongly recommend that new drivers take some form of post-test training, such as a Pass Plus Course. The UK has many post driving test courses that even experienced drivers can benefit from.

Many of the people reading this will only see real snow for a couple of days each year – or less.

This means that, despite the tail-slide that you luckily managed to recover from back in 2008, you are not an expert!

Getting ready for winter is essential for all drivers, especially salespeople and others who depend on driving to earn a living.

Whether you are covering long distances or simply making short journeys, it is worth making sure that you are fully prepared for the problems that can, and often will, arise in winter weather. In the UK, most years seem to have one or two days of ‘sudden’ cold weather.

This weather leaves many drivers stranded and sadly almost always results in one or two deaths from hypothermia.

The authorities could possibly do more but the starting point for winter safety is looking after yourself (and those around you!).

Whilst road deaths that are directly attributable to bad weather may be relatively rare, winter snow, ice, rain and fog can cause a lot of inconvenience and cost you dearly in both time and money.
