At Accountants on Hobson we are just about to begin our second round of teaching. Here’s what we have learnt along the way:
1. Encourage them in a slow and positive manner, they need to stay calm & collected to be able to learn from your instruction.
2. L Plates are essential, they show other road users that you are a learner driver. Remember to remove them when the learner driver is not behind the wheel.
3. Back roads and empty car parks are the perfect place to build the learners confidence.
4. Parallel parking and 3 point turns can be tricky, find a safe place to teach them.
5. Create opportunities to drive on the open road, practice using passing lanes, as well as changing lanes on one-way systems.
6. Ensure they check all mirrors & blind spots constantly this is of major importance during tests.
7. Fit as many practices in as possible around your busy lifestyle, make every outing an opportunity to drive.
8. We recommend having a lesson with a qualified instructor the week prior to the restricted test. It really boosted the confidence level.
9. Timing is essential, your child would benefit from having their full licence before they fly the coup.
I hope this is helpful, enjoy quality time with your teenager.
