What Should I Anticipate During Driving Instruction

By Alana Hall


Driving is a skill that can be as daunting as it can be helpful. It is not for everyone, as some people find it very difficult and prefer alternative modes of transportation. For those that pursue it, driving lessons can assist with personal development as much as it can with your skills behind a wheel.

Some companies allow you to approach the instructors of the driving lessons themselves, meaning if you have a friend who can recommend a particular instructor, you may be able to book them too. Others may assign you someone, but it is important to ensure you get along with them.

Obeying the rules of the road is important at all times, even whilst learning, and if you aren't able to operate safely then you are capable of putting lives at danger. Drugs, medication, alcohol and illness can all affect state of mind and response time, so it may be better dealing with inconvenient cancellations than risking a crash.

The first lesson typically deals with arranging contact details, payment, lesson times and estimates of when tests should be done by. In some cases an instructor will let you drive home, which requires being calm and confident that they'll guide you. Calming pills can assist those with a nervous disposition if there is a problem.

Ideally, each lesson should leave you with something new regarding skill and knowledge, as well as experience on the road. The instructor may ask questions, testing theory, and can teach emergency stops or parallel parking. It is likely your instructor will test each of these many times.

The majority of your driving lessons will test your ability to follow road laws whilst being mindful of instructions and other drivers. Neither driving nor theory tests should be done if you do not feel comfortable enough with your ability, and despite potential peer pressure, there is no shame in taking time to learn well.
