BETWEEN YOUR LESSONS
When your driving lesson is over the knowing does not have to stop there. To enhance your knowing you could:
- Fill out a learner driver journal or diary– as soon as your lesson is over, fill out the journal with what you have actually 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. If you have someone to practice with in between lessons, you can utilize the journal as a guide on what needs practising.
- Theory and Threat Perception practice– use the web and books to revise for your theory test and danger understanding test. The faster your theory is passed the better.
Finally, do not forget that if you have any questions about your lessons, your driving ability or anything else then just ask your trainer.
