Taking your driving lessons can feel very exciting when you’re working towards earning yourself that shiny driving licence. You may have incentives such as driving yourself to work/college, going out with friends or being able to pick the kids up from school! Whatever reason you want your driving licence for, everybody’s goal remains the same. Who doesn’t want a first time pass?
Private practise
Obviously, taking regular driving lessons is what will teach you a majority of what you need to know. However continuing to practise what you learn between lessons will enhance your progression. If you have your own car already or you have a friend/family member who has a car, this is a great opportunity for private practise. You must be supervised by someone 21 or older and they must have held their driving licence for at least 3 years. Additionally, you must of course insure yourself on the car for learner insurance. A highly recommended company for this is Veygo. Using a private practice record card (available on the Learner Hub for 1st 4 Driving pupils) can help you keep track of what you’ve practised between lessons.
Your instructor may give you homework, things to work on in your own car so that when you turn up for your next lesson, you can demonstrate your improvements and move on. Most driving instructors will use a Lesson Planner to aid you in your lessons. These Lesson Planners also help the instructor to guide you through each topic. We understand not all friends/family members are up to speed with the DVSA standards and it may be difficult for them to guide/teach you without the knowledge to back them up. Therefore, we produced a Learn from Home Lesson Planner to enhance your private practise experience.
Resources
I’m sure when you booked your theory test, you rushed to purchase the Highway Code and all the books on road signs, signed up to all the apps and did everything you could to ensure a first time pass. Despite the fact you’re taking practical driving lessons, the use of resources are just as helpful. To secure the first time pass, you need to pull out all the stops. Our YouTube Channel is full of videos for pupils learning to drive and wanting a first time pass. With videos on all sorts of different units, you can take your pick:
