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
Remember whilst driving to not use a mobile phone and never drive under the influence of drink and drugs.
