How intensive driving courses is different from regular lessons and should you join it?

Potential learner drivers sometimes are unsure whether to choose an Intensive Driving Course or weekly driving lessons. Some differences between the two options are that weekly lessons do not always give you enough time to complete a chosen exercise due to lack of time and therefore you would need to possibly wait a whole week before practicing the same exercise, also weekly lessons can be more expensive and can take a number of months to reach driving test standard.

With intensive driving courses, you have more time to learn the required driving skills

 An intensive driving course enables you to practice more consistently and helps you to reach a higher standard due to having booked more hours to complete a given exercise. You can possibly reach the driving test standard within a few weeks and an intensive driving course normally is less money than weekly lessons.

Intensive driving lessons are key to retaining more information for long

 An Intensive driving course is taught for several hours over consecutive days, which helps you to better retain the new information. But with weekly lessons due to the gaps between lessons, there is more of a chance of forgetting what was learned the previous week and then having to repeat the same exercises.

Everything is planned

With an intensive driving course, you can better plan a learning schedule and if you have passed the theory test, you can work towards the booked practical driving test. With weekly lessons, it is more difficult to plan, and it could be months before you consider booking your practical driving test.

Intensive driving courses can be more beneficial to you if you have some of the basic driving skills in place, like the clutch, steering, and gear changing. These skills could be leaned off road with family and friends or a few hours with a driving instructor. This will then give you the opportunity to concentrate on the main general driving skills and required exercises for the practical driving test.

So, for possibly the fastest way to learn to drive, reach test standard and achieve a full driving licence with a few weeks, then an intensive driving course will be the right choice for you. Pass Now Ltd recommend Approved driving instructors that are registered with the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). 

You save £20 when booking online and benefit from the free test offers that are available with the intensive driving course. For more information either visit - https://www.pass-now.co.uk/ or call us on 03330110391

Driving Lessons tips with a driving Instructor:

Your family and friends are probably good drivers, but not necessarily good teachers. You may find that you develop bad driving habits whilst practicing with someone other than your driving instructor. Therefore, it is always recommended to be taught by a qualified driving instructor, who offers Intensive Driving Courses. However, with advice from the driving instructor, private practice could be invaluable.

Is practicing with an instructor necessary?

Learning with a driving instructor will enable you to work with a structured learning plan that will give you the opportunity to receive value for money and possibly achieve test standard within just a few weeks. Private lessons with family & friends will help you to practice and reinforce your professional lessons.

The more professional guidance you receive will help you drive safely for life. Private lessons work best when they are in addition to your driving lessons, but not replace them.

Who can I practice with?

There are certain restrictions regarding the person you can practice with. The person you are practicing with must be legally eligible to drive the correct vehicle category.

Anybody you choose to practice with must:

• Be above the age of 21

• Have a licence to drive the type of vehicle that you want to learn driving on

• Have been holding such license from at least three years

Learn about The Cockpit Drill

To help save you money before booking an intensive driving course, you can help familiarise yourself with the cockpit drill. This is a procedure that you carry out each time you enter the car before driving.

The details below will help you to learn the cockpit drill in a private car.

To begin with, remember ‘DSSSM’, which stands for basic parts of the cockpit drill,

namely doors, seat, steering, seatbelt, and mirrors.

Doors

Make sure all your doors are closed.

In order to check that the doors are correctly closed, look in your side mirrors to make sure the doors are flush with the car bodywork.

When possible, you can also manually test the doors and recheck when you turn the ignition on, as a symbol on the dashboard will show if doors are not closed.

Seat

Adjust the height of the seat to ensure a good view through the front and back windscreens, ensuring that the steering wheel and head restraints do not obscure your vision.

Adjust the base of your seat so you can depress the clutch pedal to the floor and still have a slight bend in your left knee.

Adjust the back of your seat to reach the steering wheel with both hands positioned at ‘ten to two’ or ‘quarter to three’ to achieve an even balance on the steering wheel.

Adjust the head restraint so that the back of your head is centered on the cushion.

Seatbelt

The seatbelt must be applied flat against your chest and stomach with no twists in the belt, fully secured and adjusted to the correct height.

SteeringTo adjust the steering wheel, it must be positioned so it does not obstruct your view out of the front windscreen or when you apply the push and pull steering method

You must also be able to reach the controls located on the steering column with your fingertips without removing your hands from the steering wheel.

Mirrors

Adjust the interior mirror to give you a clear view through the back windscreen.

Adjust the exterior mirrors so that one third of the mirror is taken up with your car and two thirds gives you a clear parallel view back down the road or pavement.

Pre-Start Checks

Check handbrake is fully on and the gear stick is in a neutral position.

This information when practiced correctly with save you some time at the start of your intensive driving course.

Apply for your provisional licence up to 2 months before your 17th birthday or up to 3 months before your 16th birthday if you are registered as disabled.

When you are in receipt of your driving licence you can book your theory test from the date of the legal age to drive.

You will need to pass a two parts test; the first part is a multiple choice test and the second is a Hazard Perception test. Both parts are done on a computer by using a touch screen for the questions and a computer mouse for the hazard perception to test your response on the 14 video clips.

Even though you are in a room with several other candidates you are screened from one another and you have the option to wear headphones to drown out any distractions. You must pass both parts.

Multiple Choice Questions:

Before the test starts it is important to listen carefully to the explanation on how the test works.

A practice session of the multiple choice questions is available to help get used to the layout of the test. The real test will start at the end of the practice session.

As a multiple-choice questions test you will be provided with several possible answers of which you need to select the required amount of answers for each question.

You have the option to flag questions if you are unsure and would like to answer at a later stage in the test. Remember never to leave a question unanswered, even if you guess. An unanswered question will be marked as wrong.

Take advantage of the three minutes break before starting the Hazard Perception test.

You need to answer 50 questions within 57 minutes and the pass mark is 43 out of 50.

Hazard Perception Test: 

Before the test starts it is important to listen carefully to the explanation on how the test works.

You will be presented with a series of 14 video clips which feature every day road scenes. In 13 of the clips there is one developing hazard and 1 clip has two developing hazards.

As you do not know which developing hazard has been selected by the computer, you will need to click on whatever situation you deem a hazard.

The score for each clip ranges from 0-5. The pass mark is 44 out of 75.

Driving Test:

Eyesight test:

You will have to read a number plate from a distance of:

20 metres for vehicles with a new-style number plate

20.5 metres for vehicles with an old-style number plate

You can write down what you see if you can’t speak English or have difficulty reading.

                          

Show Me Tell Me Questions

The 'show me tell me' questions require you to explain to the Examiner where and how to check the tyres, brakes, fluid levels, lights, direction indicators, power steering and horn. You will be asked two questions, one 'show me' and one 'tell me' question. One question will be asked at the start of the test and the second question on the move during your test.
