Your First Driving Lesson
Embarking on your first driving lesson is an exciting step, and we’re here to make sure it’s a smooth and enjoyable experience.
Here’s everything you need to know to prepare for a fantastic start!
How to Prepare for Your First Driving Lesson:
Bring Your Provisional Driving License: It’s essential to have your provisional driving license with you, as your instructor will need to see it before you can start your lesson. This ensures that you’re all set for your driving journey.
Dress for Comfort and Success: Wear comfortable, flat-soled shoes to ensure you have the best control over the pedals. Dressing appropriately will help you feel more at ease and focused during your lesson.
Remember Your Glasses: If you wear corrective lenses, bring them along. Your instructor may ask you to read a vehicle registration plate from a distance to ensure your eyesight meets the necessary standards.
What to Expect During Your First Driving Lesson:
Your initial lesson is designed to be informative and supportive. Here’s what you can look forward to:
Introduction to the Car: Your instructor will start by driving the vehicle to a quiet, safe location. This allows you to get comfortable with the car's controls without the stress of busy roads.
Learning the Basics: You’ll get a comprehensive introduction to the car’s controls, including levers, buttons, and lights. Your instructor will explain how and when to use these features to ensure you have a solid foundation.
Building Confidence: The focus of your first lesson is to build your confidence and comfort behind the wheel. Don’t hesitate to ask questions or seek clarification on anything you’re unsure about.
We’re committed to providing you with a positive and encouraging start to your driving journey. If you have any questions or need assistance, our friendly instructors are here to help.
