I was talking about this earlier today after an incident at a set of traffic lights were my student was beeped at to move because the lights were on green what they didn’t realise was they had stalled the car and needed a second to start the car and get moving again
LEARNER DRIVERS
We recently received a complaint about a motorist who demonstrated impatience with a Learner Driver including beeping at the Learner and driving very close behind them. We would like to remind motorists that such behaviour could end up in a court appearance.
Learning to drive can be daunting, especially when other drivers become aggressive or impatient. Please try to remember what it was like when you were learning how to drive and be patient with learner drivers.

A few of you need a little extra help with your theory so let’s help each other! Put your answer below! Don’t read anyone else’s first, just answer you don’t know who’s right and who’s wrong 🙃

I’m certain this is how some of you feel on your first driving lesson 🤣 am I right?

Imagine a child throwing a tantrum because their parents won’t let them ride their bike as fast as they want.
That’s what I see grown adults do every day.
They’ll throw little tantrums because the car in front is sticking to the speed limit.
Especially in a 20mph zone.
Actual tantrums.
By actual adults.
(If you ask them about it, they actually try to justify it, the same way a child would!)
So if you’re learning to drive, and there’s an ‘adult’ behind you throwing a tantrum, try not to let them affect you too much.
Imagine them rolling around on the floor screaming in ASDA because the queue is too long.
That’s basically what they’re doing.

Lesson times will now be
9-11 / 11:30-1:30 / 2-4
Im making my day shorter simply because I’ve been working too much without a break and it’s beginning to take its toll I hope you understand 🙂

What to expect on your driving test.....
The UK driving test is designed to assess a candidate's ability to safely operate a vehicle in various road and traffic conditions 🚗. The test consists of several components:
1️⃣. Eyesight Check👀: You must be able to read a number plate from a distance of 20 meters for vehicles with a new-style number plate or 20.5 meters for vehicles with an old-style number plate.
2️⃣. Show Me, Tell Me Questions: At the beginning of the test, the examiner will ask two vehicle safety questions❓. One will be a "tell me" question, where you explain how to perform a safety check, and the other will be a "show me" question, where you demonstrate a safety task while driving.
3️⃣. General Driving🚦: You will be assessed on your ability to drive in various traffic and road conditions, including urban areas 🏙️, rural roads 🛣️, and dual carriageways🛤️ . You must show good control and awareness of the vehicle, other road users🚴♂️🚶♂️, and road signs🚸.
4️⃣. Independent Driving 🧭: For about 20 minutes, you will be required to drive without instructions from the examiner 🗺️. You may be asked to follow a sat nav, traffic signs, or a combination of both.
5️⃣. Reversing Manoeuvres 🔄: You will be asked to perform one of the following reversing exercises: parallel parking🅿️, parking in a bay (either driving in and reversing out or reversing in and driving out), or pulling up on the right-hand side of the road, reversing two car lengths, and then rejoining traffic 🚘.
6️⃣. Emergency Stop ⛔: The examiner may also ask you to perform an emergency stop to assess your ability to stop the vehicle promptly and safely in the event of an emergency🚨.
To pass the test, you must not accumulate more than 15 minor faults and must not have any serious or dangerous faults 🚫. If you pass, the examiner will issue you a pass certificate ✅, & send for your full driving license 🎫.
Any other questions just ask👇
