When taking driving lessons, we all hope that we will learn the ropes efficiently and quickly and that we will pass our test first time round. Not only is gaining our full driving licence an incentive but driving lessons can also be a costly investment so there is the added incentive to make sure we do not have to spend more money on lessons than is absolutely necessary. One crucial aspect that may help the learning process is the driving instructor we learn to drive with.
By law, only qualified driving instructors, known as ADIs (Approved Driving Instructor) can charge for driving lessons. On qualification, an ADI is entitled to use and display the green badge as issued by the DSA (Driving Standards Agency). If you see a green hexagonal badge in the driving instructor's car, or on their website, you can be sure they are legal and can teach you to drive.
It may be cheaper to learn how to drive with a family member or friend but this may also be detrimental to your driving skills. You may pick up bad habits from an unqualified teacher and you may be less likely to take everything on board and it is also unlikely that a family friend or relative will be up to date on the latest Highway Code and all areas of road safety and driving that you will need to see you through your test. Having had a number of lessons it may be useful to practise with a friend but be wary of taking all lessons without the backing of a reputable driving school.
Each person may have a different learning style and different instructors may have different approaches to teaching and finding someone you think you can learn from, get along well with and feel comfortable asking questions to could be of immense help when it comes to getting behind the wheel.
There are a few questions you can ask potential driving instructors to gauge how well you could expect to do during your own lessons. Ask them what their individual pass rate is and generally how long they have been teaching so you have a good idea of whether the 100% pass rate they may have only covers 2 pupils or 100.
Many driving schools will also offer you the option to have a couple of introductory lessons to give you a feel for the instructor and the car. Make good use of this opportunity and if need be, ask to have a lesson or two with two or more teachers so that you can make an informed decision.
Above all you must feel comfortable with your driving instructor. You are going to be spending hours with one person in a confined space and getting on well together and feeling free to make mistakes and learn from them will be one of the most important aspects to help you on the road in the future.
