How Do I Find A Good Driving Instructor:
The best way of finding a good Driving Instructor
is to get recommendations from other people who are learning, or have just passed
the driving test.
You may see references to people who have passed with them on their website
DO NOT
pay for a block of lessons before your first driving lesson!
If you do not get on
well with the instructor, you may have difficulty getting your money back!
The best
way is to pay cash for your first lesson when you have it, then you can pay for a
block if your happy.
DO NOT: Go for an Instructor just because they say they have
a HIGH PASS RATE:
Firstly, due to the “Data Protection Act” the DSA are not allowed
to give out personal information, so the DSA cannot confirm or deny an Instructors
pass
rate, and secondly the area the Instructor covers, may have a lot of people who can
afford to do lots of lessons in preparation for their test and so will be more likely
to pass and make some instructors look “better” than others.
You could also contact
your local Driving Instructors Association by searching for them on line.
Instructors
who are Members of Instructors Associations are more likely to be up to date with
current driving practices and teaching methods.
A Good DSA Registered Instructor
will: ·
*Be DSA registered and “Criminal Record Bureaux” checked.
Either a pink or
green badge must be displayed in the car: ·
* Not share the car with another pupil
on your lesson. ·
*Be prompt to lessons, or advise you if they are going to be late
and give the full time that has been paid for (normally 1 or 2 hours). ·
*Have a
modern dual controlled car for your safety. ·
* Be patient, professional in a calm
and relaxed environment, and also does NOT SHOUT at you! ·
*Recap on what you have
previously learnt. ·
*Give a briefing on what you are going to cover on this lesson.
·
*Summarise what you have covered in this lesson, and advise what you will cover
next time. ·
*Keep a record of your previous lessons, and give lesson notes for the
lesson you have just done. ·
*Will help you with guidance on the theory and Hazard
Perception Tests. ·
*Charge a reasonable rate to cover for their time and running
costs.
£20 to £25/ hour is average and above £25 is normally expensive.
*You may
be paying a premium for the Driving School Name, rather than the instruction given.
-
A Bad Un-
*NOT be DSA or “Criminal Record Bureaux” checked.
They could have
also been convicted for any crime, Like Rape, Burglary or Murder!
*Not have a valid
Instructors Badge: ·
*Share the car with another pupil on your lesson.
*They may not
be DSA registered, or they may do car sharing. Also, remember, that you are NOT learning
to drive with the Driving School. You are learning with the Instructor who happens
to work with that particular Driving School.
*NOT be prompt to lessons, or advise you if they are going to be late and NOT give
the full time that has been paid for. ·
*NOT Have a modern dual controlled car.
·
*NOT be patient or professional, and also SHOUTS at you! ·
*DOES NOT CARE what
you have previously learnt. ·
*DOES NOT GIVE any briefing on what you are going to
do. ·
*DOES NOT Summarise what you have covered in this lesson, and will be more
worried about booking you in for the next “lesson”, even though you have not learnt
much this “lesson”. ·
*DOES NOT Keep any record of your previous lessons, or money
that you have previously paid.
*DOES NOT give lesson notes for the lesson you have
just done. ·
*Will not be up to date with the Theory or Hazard Perception Tests.
·
*Charges what may APPEAR to be a “CHEAP RATE” compared to other instructors, BUT
the lessons will probably work out MORE EXPENSIVE, as you will need to do MORE LESSONS,
because they have not taught you correctly.
Average Rates currently: Up to £20/ hour
is cheap and possibly questionable, ie. unregistered.
I hope that this guide has been
of use.
