Despite what many people think, reversing into a space is usually easier

Are you a forwards or reverse parker?

We can’t control the weather, but we can control how prepared we are!
🚗 Tyres
Your tyres are the only thing connecting you to the road. Check tread depth, tyre pressures and look for any damage. Standing water and worn tyres are not a good combination.
💡 Lights
Heavy rain can seriously reduce visibility. Make sure all your lights are working so you can see and be seen.
🌧️ Wipers & Screenwash
If your wipers smear, judder or leave streaks, replace them.
🔋 Battery
Extreme weather can expose a weak battery. If it’s struggling now, don’t wait until you’re stranded.
🚙 Slow Down
Even if your vehicle is in perfect condition, grip is reduced. Give yourself more time and more space.

A five-minute vehicle check could save you hours of hassle and might stop a collision.

Auto or manual?

The road and the rules still have the same challenges, both will get you where you want to go

Is being a driving instructor stressful?

Honestly, no. I don’t think so. 🧡
I get to spend my days helping people learn a skill that gives them freedom and independence.
One day I’m teaching a learner driver, the next I’m delivering fleet training, visiting businesses, learning about different jobs and the challenges people face when they drive for work.
It’s a bit like being on work experience every week.
After 20 years, I’m still learning and I still get excited about learning more. I get to travel, meet interesting people, see different workplaces and help people develop safer habits and better driving skills.
Of course there are challenging days, every job has them, but they’re few and far between.
Helping people pass a test is great. Helping them become safer, more confident drivers is even better.
I genuinely can’t think of many jobs where you get to make a difference, keep learning, have amazing opportunities and meet so many brilliant people along the way. 🚗
