Intensive Driving Course in Grantham by Tom of www.BigTom.org.uk/home/

On an Intensive Driving Course in Grantham last week my pupil drove the following route –

From Grantham travel South East out to the A52 towards Threekingham, turn right through Folkingham on the A15 through Morton and into Bourne.   Once in Bourne, we approached the main crossroads from each of the 4 alternative directions and made our way back through the Elsea Park roundabouts.  On the A151 through Edenham and Corby Glen, on the A1 North at Colsterworth and then exiting off the A1 at the Downtown junction, finishing off at Great Gonerby.

Why bother doing this?  It is all about “driving more, to experience more, to learn more”.  That route offers some great opportunity to drive on a variety of different roads, in different driving conditions.  Driving on unfamiliar roads, on routes you don’t know, and experiencing all that comes on a journey like that is a superb learning opportunity. 

And that is what is at the heart of my Intensive Driving Course in Grantham.... value and quality.

Driving Lessons in Grantham A1 by Tom of www.BigTom.org.uk/home/

Coming on or off the A1 on driving lessons in Grantham is no joke for any driver, experienced or not. 

There are 4 entry/exit junctions for the A1 Grantham, and they have a variety of lengths for the entry and exit slip roads.

The benefit of driving lessons with a professional Driving Instructor is knowing you can practise this in a safe manner.  Here are some videos to assist you; there is no substitute for controlled, quality practise ... applying these #gooddrivinghabits

People failing driving tests by Tom of Big Tom Driving School www.BigTom.org.uk/home/

The number 1 reason for driving tests fails is lack of observations, particularly at junctions.

I imagine it will be right up there for the cause of accidents too.  As you can see from this photo here, these side mirrors do offer us the opportunity to see what is around us, but remember three things about using side mirrors for observations:

• The glass is convex (curved) so the apparent distance of objects seen in them is not a true indication of the actual distance.
• There are ‘blind spots’ associated with side mirrors, make sure you ask your Driving Instructor for proof of this fact if you are in any doubt about what a ‘blind spot’ is.
• The timing of when you look in your side mirrors is just as important as the information you gain by looking in them.

As you can see, taking effective observations is more than simply the occasional glance in a mirror; for observations to be effective, they have to be thorough, systematic and well timed.  Only then will you be giving yourself the opportunity to assess, and properly act on the information gained by the observation.

My last message for you.  Don’t be fooled though, in these side mirrors it is perfectly possible to NOT see something as small as a motorbike.  And that is precisely the reason why a good driver will reinforce side mirror checks with additional observations with a turn to of the head to the side.... always nice to see in my drivers.... as it increases peripheral vision.

THINK BIKE!

Driving Lesson Nerves by Tom of Big Tom Driving School www.BigTom.org.uk/home/

We have all suffered with driving lesson nerves, it definitely gets better but to begin with, it is a bit daunting.

I provide 5 driving lessons in Bourne for £49 to get over this initial problem.  I could not run my business continually providing driving lessons in Bourne for that rate, it is literally loss making; but one thing it does do is give new Learners in Bourne the opportunity to try out the car and make sure they are happy with me, before making any other commitment.

You see, driving lesson prices, generally speaking, decrease if you are able to commit to a certain amount (that is why my Intensive Driving Course prices are so competitively priced).  And on the flip of that, if people just want to ring me up every once in a while for a driving lesson, the cost is £26 per hour.  So, you see, it definitely pays to plan how you intend to learn to drive. 

Any good Driving Instructor will be willing and able to provide you with options, because ultimately this comes down to YOU deciding what is the best way for YOU to learn to drive.

I like to keep things simple!
