top tips for accompanying a learner driver...
It takes, on average, 12 months of training to become a fully qualified driving instructor and to understand how to teach the learning to drive syllabus.
The Driving Standards Agency says the average learner takes 45 hours of tuition with 22 hours of private practice* to be ready for the test.
So while private practice with a friend or relative is an excellent idea, it's important that any practice supports what the instructor is teaching in the driving lessons.
These tips will help make your learner's private practice more effective:
-
Use private practice to follow up things covered in the driving lessons.
-
Keep a record of your practice drives to show your learner's driving instructor .
-
Follow the instructor's approach as much as you can.
-
Arrange specific times for driving practice.
-
Be patient and keep calm.
