Choosing a Driving School

Whether it is yourself who wants to learn to drive, or someone you are helping make arrangements for, one of the first things you need to do, is choose a driving school.  This might seem relatively straightforward, however there are a number of factors you ought to consider, before making a final decision.

Getting Started

Browsing the internet will provide you with a vast number of schools offering driving lessons in Camberley, however personal recommendations are always worth taking on-board.  After all, if someone you know and trust has had a good experience with an instructor, there is a good chance you will get on with them well too.

Once you have narrowed down your choices, the best thing to do is give the driving school a call to have a chat.  Instructors, particularly those from larger schools expect this, so don’t feel awkward about asking for a no-obligation natter.  Some schools offering driving lessons in Camberley, may even offer you a free or reduced-price trial lesson.  This is definitely worth doing, as it will help you decide whether you wish to continue with them, before parting with any more money.

Instructors Ability & Qualifications

If you are paying your instructor, they have to be a Qualified DSAADI: Driving Standards Agency Approved Driving Instructor.  The vehicle that they use should also display a badge. Instructors which are fully qualified, will have been issued a green octagon by the Driving Standards Agency.  Those that have yet to qualify will display a pink triangle.

Price                                                                              

Price tends to be an important factor for the majority of people.  With the average learner driver requiring 45 lessons, learning to drive is a huge financial commitment.  Lessons tend to last one hour as a rule, and cost in the region of £25.  In order to keep costs to a minimum, it’s worth asking whether the driving school has any deals available.

Pass Rate

This isn’t always as indicative as you might think.  In isolation, it can in fact be quite meaningless.  If you do enquire about pass rates, make sure you find out what the average number of lessons was, so that you can put it into context.

In Conclusion

Ultimately, who you choose is up to you.  There are lots of schools offering driving lessons in Camberley, however it is important to choose someone that not only communicates clearly, but you feel comfortable with.

Top tips for your Driving Test

 

Blue School of Motoring present a guide of Top Tips to help you with your driving test.

 

The biggest driving test tip is not to book a driving test unless you feel your ready! If you don’t feel confident, check with your driving instructor whether you are ready for your driving test. Always do a Mock Driving Test before the real one, if this goes well great, if it goes badly, then get some more practice or change your driving test, this is free to do.

It’s natural to feel slightly nervous on the day of your driving test. Don’t let this worry you too much. Stay calm and drive as you have been driving with your driving instructor, don’t drive any differently just because an examiner is sitting next to you.

Always check your mirrors and indicate before stopping or moving off during your driving test. Look carefully over your shoulders to check your blind spots. Failure to do the latter will most certainly get you a minor fault, and could be potentially hazardous to other road users.

Well done Ben Mowbray from Fleet who passed in Farnborough first time

Top tips for your Driving Test

Blue School of Motoring present a guide of Top Tips to help you with your driving test.

If another vehicle approaches while you’re performing a reverse manoeuvre during your driving test, don’t panic. Make eye contact with the other driver first - if it’s clear that he is waiting for you, continue calmly with your manoeuvre, but check all round first. Otherwise wait until he’s driven past you before proceeding. In addition, while you should do your best to complete a turn in the road in three movements, you will not automatically fail your driving test if you take more then three. The important point is to look out for other road users and complete it at a reasonable pace.

Don’t panic if you make a mistake during your driving test. The examiner will not automatically fail you. Remain calm and move on. The national pass rate for the practical test is 45%.

Always listen to the directions given to you by the Driving Examiner, these are clear and inform you of where you are going, if you forget what they have said or during your independent drive, then ask them to repeat back your requested route..

Great result for Robert Dickinson of Chavey Down, Ascot who passed his test driving test in Slough

Top tips for your Driving Test

 

Blue School of Motoring present a guide of Top Tips to help you with your driving test.

If you have to overtake cyclists during your driving test, give them plenty of clearance (about the width of an average-sized car). Don’t follow them too closely.

When reversing, keep looking round for road users, even put your drivers side window down as this can help you to hear approaching vehicles. Never continue reversing as another road user is passing.

Use your mirrors before you change speed (up or down), change gear, stop or move off and whenever you change direction in your driving test.

Top tips for your Driving Test

 

Blue School of Motoring present a guide of Top Tips to help you with your driving test.

Don’t look down at the gear stick when you change gear during your driving test. You should always keep your eyes on the road, constantly scanning the far, middle and near distance and anticipating any developing hazards..

Always indicate correctly and in good time, this helps other road users to know your intentions.

Do not stop at every junction during your driving test unless it is necessary. For example, if you stop at a roundabout when it’s obvious that you’re clear to go, you may pick up marks for hesitancy. However, where the road sign tells you to “Stop”, you must do so.

Don’t get too close to stationary vehicles or obstructions. Always keep a look out for pedestrians stepping out onto the road.
