Why Use A Driving School
The Driving Standards Agency strongly advises that learner drivers take lessons from an Approved Driving Instructor, who works for a professional driving school or is self-employed.
There are many benefits to choosing a driving school or self-employed qualified instructor over asking a friend or relative to teach you to drive, and the main advantages are outlined below.
1 To drive safely on todays roads needs a higher standard of competence than in years gone by because there is now more traffic on the road than ever before.
2 The standard required to pass the UK driving test has increased to reflect the changes in traffic on the road, and only a qualified instructor can keep up to date with these changes.
3 Approved Driving Instructors receive in depth training at the start of their careers as well as ongoing development training, and they are therefore in a better position than a standard driver to offer help and advice to a learner driver.
4 Instructors working for a professional driving school are more likely to offer learner drivers a personal, planned programme of tuition to help their development and remove any problems early in the learning experience.
5 Learners tend to find the whole experience less stressful when they are taught under the guidance of a qualified third party, as arguments often occur when family members or friends act as instructors. This can cause the learner to lose concentration and increases the risk of an accident.
6 Last, but certainly not least, statistics show that a learner has a 25 per cent better chance of passing their test when taught by a fully qualified instructor from a driving school
