Are you aware of the top reasons why students fail there driving test (according to the DVSA)?

🚨 Observations at junctions - ineffective observation and judgement
🚨 Incorrect use of signal - not cancelling or giving misleading signals
🚨 Incorrect position on the road - at roundabouts or on bends
🚨 Reverse parking - ineffective observation or lack of accuracy
🚨 Use of mirrors - not checking or acing on the information
🚨 Moving away safely - ineffective observation
🚨 Lack of steering control - steering too early or leaving it too late
🚨 Inappropriate speed - travelling too slow or being hesitant

Here is more info for this mornings highway code post. Did you know this?

'Double white lines where the line nearest you is solid.

This means you MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe and you need to enter adjoining premises or a side road.

You may cross the line if necessary, provided the road is clear, to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.'

Comments from Sandie Smith, a previous learner with Dave Pickford Automatic Driver Training.

Learning to drive with Dave was a thoroughly positive experience. Dave is highly professional, responding to queries in a timely manner and is able to signpost prospective clients to other/any resources they might need. I always found Dave to be cheery, he is soon like a friend as opposed to instructor. Dave is an excellent choice for those nervous about learning to drive, always putting you at ease. He has the ability to transfer these skills regardless of age/sex or social standing. I would also suggest Dave to be an excellent choice for those who have failed before or wanting to change instructor. I took one of Dave´s intensive courses. This was at a very competitive price and Dave made every effort to fit my demands in amongst his schedule. He organised test dates etc and never lost confidence in me which I found very empowering! His ability to merge safety and safe, competent driving is sexing to none. One word of warning - he´s a chatty soul . If Dave Pickford can get an older, nervous, failed before in a manual car, mad lady like myself to be a competent driver in a short space of time, I´d suggest he can help you. Go for it, it´s changed my life - thanks Mr P!
