Driving Lessons in Bourne
Quite naturally, many people who are learning to drive have
many questions about the driving test itself.
It’s that feeling of the unknown that creates anxiety. I’ve found that there are a variety of things
that can be done in an attempt to allay the fears, here are a few:
Do mock tests (including with another Driving Instructor you
do not know)
Do an assessment drive on an unfamiliar route
Raise the awareness of how the test is marked – what would
be acceptable and what would not
Get down to the Test Centre to familiarise yourself with the
layout
Appreciate what standard of driving is needed to pass the
driving test
Always apply the key principles of safe driving even when
practising with friends/family
Understand how the theory knowledge and the practical skills
need to be constantly applied
Take ownership of identifying your own driving ability
Train yourself to perform higher driving techniques such as
commentary driving
Constantly visualise good driving habits
Reflect on your learning as you go along and feedback to
your Instructor your thoughts/feelings
How many of these (if any) you would want to embrace whilst
you learn to drive is a matter for you.
I have pretty definite ideas about the value of them, and how they
contribute towards increasing ability, confidence, communication and decreasing
fear and nerves on test day. Ultimately,
it is a matter for you.
I have recently added two videos to my driving YouTube channel
“2010BIGTOM” giving answers to very commonly asked questions about the driving
test. I hope it helps..... you can get
access to it via my website
Best of luck! tom
