If you do not have regular lessons, it does not pay to have lessons and then stop due to no money as it will take you longer to pass your test.
- Time– ensure you have enough time to commit to finding out to drive– after all it is a brand-new ability that you are acquiring that will require regular practice in order for you to progress.

When your driving lesson is over the knowing does not have to stop there. To enhance your learning you could:
- Submit a learner driver journal or journal– when your lesson is over, submit the journal with what you have covered in the lesson, what went well and what didn’t. You can utilize this to review the lesson and prepare for your next lesson. If you have somebody to practice with between lessons, you can use the journal as a guide on what needs practising.
- Theory and Threat Understanding practice– use the web and books to modify for your theory test and risk perception test. The earlier your theory is passed the much better.
