Is an Intensive Driving Course the Best Option?

Questions have been raised many times over the years as to whether Intensive Driving Courses are more effective and better value for money in comparison to weekly driving lessons.

Intensive driving courses

• Learning to drive over a short and consistent period will help the learning process by enabling new information to be absorbed due to the repetition of each exercise. This enables the opportunity to practice such exercises to possibly a higher standard than weekly lessons.

• Retention of information is enhanced due to consistently practicing newly learnt skills within the same session, rather than having to wait until the following week, where you may only have time to part practice a new exercise due to the lack of time.

• Achieving a full driving licence is achievable within just a few weeks, instead of possibly having to wait months. Remember, you must reach the same standard of driving regardless of the type of course you choose. The practical driving test and Examiner will decide if you are potentially going to be a safe and competent driver.

• So, complete an intensive driving course, pass your practical driving test and drive away with a full driving licence within just a few weeks.

Weekly driving lessons

• Intensive driving courses do not suit everyone, and sometimes potential drivers may not have the time to dedicate to a course, prefer to take more time to absorb the information and feel more comfortable to gradually learn the driving skills.

• Weekly lessons relate more to the Driver and Standards Agency (DVSA), recommendation regarding the required amount of driving hours, which is approximately 40-55 hours professional tuition.

• As you have read the pros and cons regarding intensive driving courses and weekly lessons, you just need to consider which method would better suit you.

The 4 New Exciting Driving Test Changes 2017

Independent Driving Will Increase to 20 minutes 

The independent driving part of the test will now exceed 10 minutes. Currently, it lasts around 10 minutes, but after the changes, it will be increased to 20 minutes. The DVSA explains that during this part of the test, you will have to drive without directions from the driving examiner.

Following Sat Nav Instructions

During the independent driving part of the test, most candidates will be asked to follow sat nav instructions. These directions will be set up and provided by the examiner. So now you don’t need to worry about the route you’re following as you will be examined on how you perform while following the sat nav directions.

Reversing Manoeuvres are Changing

The ‘reverse around a corner’ and ‘turn-in-the-road’ manoeuvres will no longer be tested, but you should still be taught them by your instructor. 

You’ll be asked to do one of 3 possible reversing manoeuvres. 

• Parallel park at the side of the road. 
• Park in a bay - either driving in and reversing out, or reversing in and driving out (the examiner will explain which way. 
•  Pull up on the right-hand side of the road, reverse for 2 car lengths and rejoin the traffic.

Answering Two Vehicle Safety Questions While You’re Driving 

The two questions named as show me, tell me questions will be asked by the examiner, one at the start of the test and one whilst driving.
