THIS IS BRILLIANT ADVICE! Pass on to your kids, friends and family.

If you are ever lost while hiking, get stranded with a broken down car, etc and you notice your mobile phone is either low on juice or has no signal, here is a tip that very well may save your life.
Change the voicemail on your phone to a message that gives your approximate location, the time, the date, your situation (lost, out of gas, car broken down, injured, etc) and any special instructions such as you are staying with the car, you are walking toward a town, etc.... The best part of this is that even if your cell phone dies or stops working, voicemail still works, so anyone calling your phone looking for you will hear the message and know where to find you or where to send help.

Tomorrow is a very important day for all driving instructors and learner drivers!

It’s the day driving instructors from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 restrictions have been lifted and we are back on the roads again teaching thousands of learners to drive!

With the present circumstances and our backlog you are likely to come across thousands more driving instructor’s than what you normally would in your day to day travel!

Looking for a driving instructor!

1. We are NOT waiting for you to call (week before you turn 17) as we've been fully booked for several weeks and like myself, sometimes months, plan ahead chose an instructor and get your name down on their waiting list!

2. Asking "how many hours do I need?" when the first few lessons have been completed, is like asking "how long is a piece of string?” Remember it’s a skill for life be patient and enjoy your journey!
Rome wasn’t built overnight!

3. When asked upon enquiry whether you've driven before, does not mean in a carpark/forest with your mates/parents (illegal too)!

4. The "cost" should NOT be your no. 1 priority!
We teach a life skill and it’s fine to pay £35-£40 for riding lessons, music lessons, football coaching etc. I can assure you that it's more dangerous to drive than the above!
Cheap is not always good!
Good is not always cheap!

5. When you cancel short notice, we charge! It costs US money as we all budget the hours we need to teach to live. If you weren't paid for missing work, I'm sure you'd get your a*** into work when you've got a "cold", headache, tummy-ache etc"

6. "My mate passed in 5/10hrs..." Really? We hear it all the time! Believe what you want but I doubt it!

7. When you fail, take responsibility for it... It's a grown-up thing to do. It wasn't because the examiner didn't like you, it was a "Monday", it was a "Friday", end month etc YOU failed because you didn't drive to the required standard expected.

8. If you fail, you can't retake a test for 10 working days FOR A REASON... You need additional training.
It's no good just taking another test you failed because you didn’t reach the standard required!

9. We, as instructors have heard all the stories about "my last instructor was unreliable etc" and in many cases, it's due to being charged for late cancellation of lessons (Our wages)!

10. We pay a lot to earn our qualifications, pass our exams, run our car i.e. fuel, insurance, tax, tyres, licence... When we tell you a certain way to do something, it's for a good reason so hearing "My dad said..." really doesn't help your cause!

11. Be patient with yourself - it takes times to learn. It does not happen overnight.
Learning to drive will probably be one of the most difficult dangerous skills you ever learn!

12. Don't stay up till 2am the night before and expect to be sharp the next day. No drinking, smoking, drugs etc ....we know when you've been at it. Imagine what the police would do with you should you have an accident after passing your test!!!

13. Practice makes perfect - practice practice and practice no lesson goes to waste when learning how to drive, we learn something new each time we get behind the wheel with different scenarios and situations, you will know when you are ready to leave us when you are doing everything confidently and independently!

14. The greater the effort the sweeter the reward ...so pay attention and ask as many questions as you need to ask 😉

Whoever you are and whoever you learn with enjoy the journey ! 💯

Have A Good Day 🚙 💨
