- Sponsorship– before starting your lesson you will require to have an intend on how to spend for a complete driving course whether this is through cost savings, work or family. If you do not have routine lessons, it does not pay to have lessons and then stop due to no cash as it will take you longer to pass your test.
- Time– ensure you have sufficient time to devote to discovering to drive– after all it is a new skill that you are obtaining that will require routine practice in order for you to progress.

BETWEEN YOUR LESSONS
When your driving lesson is over the learning does not need to stop there. To enhance your learning you might:
- Submit a learner driver journal or diary– once your lesson is over, fill out the journal with what you have covered in the lesson, what went well and what didn’t. You can use this to assess the lesson and get ready for your next lesson. You can use the journal as a guide on what requires practising if you have somebody to practice with in between lessons.
- Theory and Threat Perception practice– utilize the internet and books to revise for your theory test and risk understanding test. The sooner your theory is passed the better.
Do not forget that if you have any concerns about your lessons, your driving ability or anything else then just ask your trainer.
