Is your test very soon?
Are you in need of an instructor?
Read below for help on this
Ok, you've found a test date and it's in 2 weeks or so, may be the reason is
1. Your present instructor is not available for some reason
2. Your present instructor does not think you are ready and will not provide their car for the test
3. Other reasons
​
So, you need an instructor, I can possibly help but there are a few provisos to follow
1. You will have to have at least a couple of lessons with me to show me you are up to test standards on ALL the road situations that may be presented to you.
2. I have to be available
​
What situations am I talking about?
​Check the DVSA website for information but here are a few scenarios you need to be SAFE and proficient at
-
moving off
-
stopping
-
observations
-
all sizes of roundabout
-
junctions, all types
-
hill starts, junctions on hills
-
the manoeuvres you may be asked to perform
-
meeting situations
-
Awareness and Planning
​
Please understand this list is by no means exhaustive. There is so much more to driving and being safe on the road than this.
What happens if you are not up to these standards?
​I'm really sorry, I know the driving test is important and potentially life saving but you would not be able to use my car.
​
What does it matter if I fail, I just try again
​Yes, you would be able to try again but I have to consider a number of factors before releasing my car
​In no particular order, all are important
1. The safety of the examiner
2. Your safety
3. Safety of the public/road users
4. I need the car to do my job. I'm happy for it to be used for tests when the driver has proved to me they are safe. Yes, things can still happen, possibly not your own fault but that's the risk we take
​
I will be honest when I tell you, so don't be offended but you will find all driving instructors have the same viewpoint, safety is key
​
Having said all this, message me, talk to me, I'm always happy to chat and discuss options
