So true , copied from another driving instructor .

To all parents it’s well worth a read ….

As a Driving Instructor, there’s something that has always annoyed me.
How old do you think your children are when they start learning to drive ?

Most of you will say 17.

Wrong. It’s from the age of about 3 or 4. Yes that’s correct. They are your passengers. They often watch what you do, say and act. So they are forming attitudes about road safety from a very early age. Where are these attitudes coming from.

When they are 17 you entrust them with us to help them pass their test. BUT, it’s not just about passing their test. It’s about developing safe and careful drivers.

Between the ages of 17 & 25 they are most vulnerable due to the brain not having matured fully, especially the part that deals with danger and risk. This age group make up a small percentage of the nations drivers but are involved in over 20% of the nations fatal RTC’s.

The biggest killer of teenage girls in this country is probably their boyfriends driving.
The majority of this is down to attitudes that are formed over many years from that young age.

Yet a lot of parents are more concerned with the cost of lessons and how many their child will need. Many are not interested in the safety aspect of learning to drive. Just the cost. What price a life or lives.
On average it cost over £1000 to learn to drive. For some it’s more and for some it’s less.
So for that price you would like us to create safe and considerate drivers. And many of us do.

I’m proud of my record.

So let’s say we are talking about 40 hours on average. In that time apart from actually learning to drive correctly and safely, we also possibly have to try and change an attitude to risk that has built up over at least 10 years.

This attitude generally comes from you.
So the next time you drive too close to the vehicle in front.
Do a dodgy overtake
Exceed the speed limit
Be an amber gambler
Run a red light
Start moaning and swearing about the driver in front.

JUST THINK FOR A MOMENT.

This behaviour and attitude is rubbing of on your child. And they will see it as normal behaviour.
So please help us to help you children become safe drivers. 🚗🚗🚗
