DRIVING LESSONS

AUTOMATIC CAR

Why learn to drive in an Automatic car?

The government have announced that from 2030 there will be no more petrol or diesel cars sold in the UK. So from then all new cars will be electric and will be automatic. Car manufacturers are all prejudicing electric cars now.
The plus side for learning in a automatic
1. you will learn in less time so saving you time and money.
2. you can’t stall or roll back on a automatic.
3. you will always be in the correct gear.
4. it will be easy to control when doing manoeuvres.
5. less maintains your car will never need a new clutch automatics don’t have a clutch.

ADI-2

Going to tow a trailer? Did you know

On 10th September 2021 the government has removed the requirement for a B+E practical. From 20th September NO B+E testing will be conducted by the DVSA. Instead, you can now drive a CAT B car 3500kg and up to 3500kg trailer if your car can tow that much. Please refer to your manufacture’s handbook for your car for this information. Effectively the government has now shut down all B+E training schools for testing. See link gov.uk
However, we are still going to teach trailer towing to those that want to feel safe to tow and wish to go ahead with some form of reversing, coupling, and driving course. These will be bespoke and tailored to your needs. From more information on this please call

Choosing your instructor

Some people learn to drive with friends and relatives but with the busy traffic and complex rules on modern roads it’s wise for new drivers to have some lessons with a professional instructor, even if they have an opportunity to drive at home.
When looking for an instructor (in the UK and Ireland) make sure that the person you choose is a qualified ADI (Driving Standards Agency Approved Driving Instructor).
It is illegal for anyone who is not an ADI to charge a fee for driving tuition. If your Driving Instructor is not Displaying A Badge in Their Windscreen ask them to show it to you if they cannot show you there Badge Get out of The Car take The Car Registration Number and Report them to The DVSA (Driving and vehicle standards agency) and Police If you knowingly pay money to an unlicensed instructor you could also be liable for aiding an offence

Approved Driving Instructors have passed a searching examination in order to demonstrate their skills; they are also checked and graded regularly and have undergone a Criminal Records Check. You can recognise an ADI because he/she will display a green badge in the tuition vehicle’s front windscreen (this must be displayed by law while teaching).
Grading: On April 2014 the grading of Driving instructors was changed to 1 of 3 Grades (A 43 to 51) (B 31 to 42) and Fail if you score below 31. those who fail are given 2 more attempts’ to pass. If the instructor doesn’t manage at least a B during either of these attempts then they are removed from the register and unable to give Driving lessons.

Part 3 Rescue Training

If you have your part 2 or 3 test looming or have you just failed one then my Rescue Training is what you need. Done on a one-to-one basis I will assess your teaching skills and develop a structured lesson plan on how to improve on the Ares’s and topics required.
The new Standards check starts on the 2nd of October 2017 this will replace the old PST part 3 test you won’t be able to take the old test after the 2nd of October. We have everything in place for the new test starting and will be able to coach you to that new grade A.
I am very experienced in coaching having passed the BTEC 4 in coaching for driver development and also completed the train the trainer course with Tri-Coaching. Having sat the new Standards check myself getting a grade A. on my first attempt so there is no need to fear the new Standards check. I personally believe it is a change for the better so if you want free information and advanced or to book some training give me a call or email.

Standards check training

Do you have a standards check coming up?. Waiting for the letter to drop through the letterbox or have you failed you last standards check or not happy with your grade call and I can help you.
19% of driving instructors fail the new Standards check that’s more then 1 in 6. The most common reasons for failing a standards check is Not Adapting a Lesson Plan. Poor Risk Management. And not offering suitable Teaching and Learning Strategies.
TRAINING
The Training I do is one to one and is designed to identify and remedy any weakness in your instruction. The first session is 2 hours and it would be ideal if you could take the learner you are taking on your stranded check.
On the first part I can analyse your teaching and see how you’re putting the seventeen competencies on the (sc1) into practices you will also get used to someone in the back of the car. The learner will also get used to having someone in the back of the car.
The second part would be one to one where I will Analysis the standards check (sc1) form with you and give you constructive feedback on how to get a grade A. I would show you how to use client centred learning.
