Safety and the Car
The safety of you and other road users is paramount. Pupils will make mistakes. This is where a highly skilled instructor, along with dual controls, will ensure your safety is never compromised. I will be able to step in (if needed) at the right time to any lesson situation, always keeping you within a safe learning environment.
Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with the latest in car cameras front and rear.
The DVSA fully regulates all ADI’s ensuring they are fully licensed. This includes extensive background, performance, and CRB checks to ensure they are a “fit and proper” person to a high professional standard.
Parents and Guardians
If you are supporting your son or daughter learning to drive, every bit of practice between lessons can be a great help. However, experience and studies show that many parents are teaching outdated techniques. This can hold the student back as they learn bad habits and incorrect assumptions. Once these bad habits are formed early in the learning cycle, they are difficult to unravel.
Learning to drive is a team effort. So please never hesitate to contact me to discuss any concerns you may have. Then we can ensure a consistent approach is being taught and reinforced.
Student Resource Area
A number of specially created resources, information, videos, and quizzes are available to the student. These resources will augment the work they are doing during the lessons and preparing for the theory test.
