BEFORE YOUR FIRST LESSON
- Provisionary licence– you will need to present both the card and paper parts of you licence on your very first lesson. , if you need to apply for a licence you can choose up an application form from you regional post workplace or you can apply online at https://www.anewdriver.ie.
- If you have lost part of your licence you need to replace this; you can do this online, by telephone or by post.
- Financial backing– before starting your lesson you will need to have an intend on how to spend for a complete driving course whether this is through cost savings, work or household. It does not pay to have lessons and after that stop due to no cash as it will take you longer to pass your test if you do not have regular lessons.
- Time– ensure you have adequate time to commit to discovering to drive– after all it is a brand-new ability that you are getting that will need regular practice in order for you to progress.
- We advise you have one, 2 hour lesson every week under the guidance of a professional driving trainer.
- Attitude– you need to be confident that you will learn how to drive but have the capability to laugh at yourself if you make errors, the majority of us do.
- Consume– avoid caffeine-based beverages such as tea and coffee before your driving lesson as this speeds up stress and anxiety and you will already be nervous. It goes without stating that alcohol needs to be prevented both on the day of your lesson, but also the night before.
- Clothes– make certain that your clothing on your lesson is comfortable; you will be sat in the car for at least an hour. Likewise make sure that you use ideal shoes that you can feel the pedals through– no walking boots, heels or flip flops.
- Sleep– make sure you have a good night’s sleep the night prior to your lesson. You wish to make sure you are alert as there will be a lot to take in on your first lesson.
- Be prepared– on the day of your lesson ensure you have both parts of your licence, payment for your lesson and your glasses, if you require them.
IN BETWEEN YOUR LESSONS
When your driving lesson is over the learning does not have to stop there. To boost your learning you might:
- Fill out a student driver journal or diary– when 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 utilize this to reflect on the lesson and get ready for your next lesson. You can utilize the journal as a guide on what needs practising if you have somebody to practice with in between lessons.
- Theory and Risk Perception practice– utilize the internet and books to modify for your theory test and hazard perception test. The sooner your theory is passed the better.
Do not forget that if you have any concerns about your lessons, your driving capability or anything else then just ask your instructor.
