Why Learn Driving From Professional Driving Schools?

Learning how to drive? It is obvious that you have thought about taking driving lessons from your friends or family members. However, this does not make the most practical sense as you might miss out on several important things that only a professional driving instructor can teach you.

Driving schools can customise the best driving lesson plan for you in order to impart theoretical knowledge and practical skills to teach you how to drive confidently and safely. They will prepare you to tackle any unforeseen situations with ease.

Therefore it is always wise to enrol into a reputed driving school to learn driving under the guidance of certified, highly experienced and fully trained professionals.

Here are some of the key benefits of having professional driving lessons in Burwood:

Acquire Full Knowledge on Road Rules and Road Safety

Once you enrol into a reputed driving school in Burwood, you will gradually gain full knowledge about road rules and road safety. Only a fully trained and experienced driving instructor is aware of all the rules and laws related to road safety. For example, if you are taking driving lessons from your family members, there is a high chance that they will not have any idea about the recent changes to road safety laws, or they can misinterpret the meaning of a particular rule. However, a professional driving instructor will always show you the real picture.    

Develop Good Driving Habits

Taking driving lessons in Burwood, from a reputed driving school is the best option for people who have no prior experience with driving. When you start from the scratch it is very important that you learn to drive in a safe and professional manner. When you take help from your parents, there is a high chance that they will feel nervous while trying to teach you how to drive and could unknowingly impart their driving habits onto you. On the contrary, experienced driving instructors follow a methodical approach to help you develop good driving habits. They have a proper course outline to teach beginners all the essential steps they need to understand to become a good driver.

Shorten the Gap between Licensing Stages

The licensing system in Australia has various stages and to get a driving license in Australia, you need to spend a certain amount of hours before they promote you to the next licensing stage. At each stage of the licensing system, you have to pass a test. This is where a driving school in Burwood can help you. When you are under the guidance of experienced driving instructors, they can reduce the amount of time needed to complete each licensing stage. Beginners usually become nervous while taking their practical driving test. This is why driving instructors make sure that you overcome the nervousness, by conducting several mock practice tests. The practice tests are carefully tailored to map any areas that might jeopardise your chances of passing your driving test.  

 Learn to Tackle Unforeseen Situations

Frequent Checks and Evaluation

Only when the instructors are content with your progress level, they will promote you to the next licensing stage. This constant supervision makes professional driving lessons in Burwood a hassle-free experience.

Preparing For Driving Lessons? Your Questions Answered and Some Handy Hints Too!

So you're ready to take your first Driving Lesson? How are you feeling? Preparing for your very first lesson can be a very daunting thing for some people and then quite the opposite, such an exciting thing for others! But rest assured, there are instructors out there that are trained to help!

Whatever age you learn to drive, the ideal person to teach you however is unlikely to be a friend or relative. This really is one job that is best left to a professional. Not only do you ensure that you are trained to the correct standard and with all the up to date information and guidelines need to pass your test, but you also ensure that you do not put any of your personal relationships, and of course yourself, under any unnecessary stress or pressure.

When learning to drive, it is essential that you have a structured learning programme to follow. Most good driving schools structure their programme according to the DSA (Driving Standards Agency) syllabus. They will normally provide you with help and advice on the theory aspect of the test and will often supply you mock test papers if required.

Progress of your training depends on your or the instructor?

Of course, it is vital to choose an instructor who is fully trained and licensed with the DSA. They will give you continuous feedback on your progress and guidance on when to apply for your tests. The DSA guide for the average number of driving lessons required by someone to prepare for the practical driving test is one and half hours per year of age. However this can vary according to the individual. Often those with good road sense already progress much quicker as half of the battle is being aware of the hazards of the road and constantly being aware of what is happening round you. On that note, you often find that cyclists and motor-cyclists that are looking to learn already have the basic understanding that they need to develop much more quickly than others... so if you are reading this as a 15 or 16 year old then perhaps taking up cycling or considering a moped when it is legal to do so, would be a worthy exercise if you want to pass your driving test with fewer lessons than average!

How are the lessons scheduled?

Lessons can normally be arranged at a time to suit you with many an instructor offering early morning or late afternoon lessons as well as weekends too so that you can fit in learning to drive around your schedule, family, work or college. Some people prefer a steady approach and take one or two hours' tuition each week, while others prefer an intensive week-long course.

So... are the intensive courses really a good idea?

With time being important to everyone, more and more driving schools are offering intensive driving lessons in Melbourne for learner drivers, some of them spread over just one or two weeks.

But please be aware that this approach to driving lessons doesn't suit everyone. The skills needed to drive safely take time to learn, and although you may learn enough to pass the driving test, you may lack on some of the more general awareness and skill that you need to drive safely. And, its often said that the quicker you learn, the quicker you forget things too!

You may also be the sort of person that strives under pressure and the intensity of a weeks' course could help you, but, if you are quite the opposite and find it hard to focus or concentrate on things during such an intense period, then this approach may not be for you... So give serious consideration to the type of driving lessons that will suit you before booking a black course!

What if I had taken lessons previously?

If you have had previous experience on other vehicles, or other driving lessons before, intensive lessons can be useful. As you're not starting from scratch, things may be a little easier. So as mentioned above, for those that have cycled for years or perhaps had a moped or scooter, then this could be a great option for you... and it may even save you money too!

If however you have had no experience on the roads at all, then the best way to learn effectively and safely would be to have 1 or 2 hours a day, a few times a week. On that time scale, you might expect to be ready for your test after 8/10 weeks. But please remember, there is no guarantee as to how long it will take... It really does just depend on the person.

If you have had experience before or perhaps started with lessons previously then the amount of lessons, and therefore the time it will take will vary a lot. This is because every instructor is different and what you have learnt... and hopefully remembered... may be in a very different style or approach to your new instructor. In this instance the best thing to do would be to book a single lesson or an assessment driving lesson with your new driving instructor, who should then be able to give you a better idea of what you will need and if they can help!

So... you may now be wondering, how many lessons could I need?

This question comes up at some point or another with pretty much everyone who learns to drive. Most people ask it out of financial interest as learning to drive can be expensive, that's why its important to pick the right instructor and approach form the start. Others are just interested to see roughly how long it will be before they can buy their first set of wheels!

According to the Driver Standards Agency, the 'average' driver takes almost 50 hours of lessons with an Instructor with additional hours spent "practising" with a friend or family member.

However some students can pass in as little as 15-20 lessons, while those that have problems or difficulties with certain aspects of the training can increase the number of lessons that they need to over 100. Typical though, the average number you should expect to require between 30-50. But rest assured, the driving instructor will advise you when you are ready.

How to successfully pass your exams?

One thing to remember when learning to drive is that you have two parts to your training now... the theory and the practical. Its worthwhile noting that the sooner you can undertake the theory training and test, the better positioned you will be during your lessons. This is for two reasons.

You will learn the basics of the road, hazard perception, safety and general knowledge to give yourself a head start when you do get behind the wheel.

You can't take your practical test until you have done your theory. So... rather than taking lesson after lesson spending money on lessons, it's well worth getting your theory training and test done as soon as possible, it means you can then put in for your actual test as soon as you are ready rather than having to wait until you pass your theory test and then waiting again until a slot comes about to get your final test booked. So doing you're theory training and test will ensure that you're all set from the start... and it could also save you money too!

 Well, hopefully you've found something of use an interest here, thank you for reading, and whatever approach you take, Good Luck with your Driving Lessons at Best Driving School Melbourne... And happy motoring!
