One for 'Learners' and their parents....


Try to resist the urge to rush through the learning.

It’s perfectly natural of course, but it is so short-sighted.  The DSA publicise the fact that many newly qualified drivers (ones that have passed the test) are feeling ill-equipped to drive independently. 

Obviously, we all have the right to make the choices that we want, about how we do things.  How you choose to learn to drive is no different.  You may choose to beat down the driving instructor to as low a price as possible, you may choose to do the absolute minimum to pass the test, you may choose to do the test at a test centre you think is easier, you may choose to throw caution to the wind and go to test when it is kind of ‘hit and miss’ whether you pass.  



These are all choices that you have the right to make.



Just remember who is making the choices though.  Most people when they hire the services of a professional eg accountant, solicitor, financial advisor etc,  they listen to the advice given – they are paying for the expertise that the person has gained by their experience.  If you therefore choose to go against that advice, then that choice you make is yours..... you live/die by that decision. 



Whether you pass the test or not is not really the point, the point is how capable you are to drive safely post-test.
