How to Drive a Car Learning how to drive is a lot easier than it looks. It looks intimidating from the passenger's seat, or in films, but once you get behind the wheel and gently put your foot on the pedal, the process becomes very intuitive. If you're a...

After you’ve passed your test

Just because you have officially been certified as having the right skills to drive, your nerves won’t magically disappear, so get used to your newly found freedom slowly. Wait until you’re really comfortable before taking passengers, keep your phone switched off and music on low. And if you feel nervous about driving on the motorway, you can always take a motorway lesson with a qualified instructor.

Remember, mistakes happen to everyone

Stalling at a roundabout, pulling out of a junction when you shouldn’t, being beeped at because you were taking too long to perform a maneuver; these are all experiences that every learner has and for some drivers, can become bigger incidents than they really are. So when they happen to you, learn from them and then move on. By dwelling on them, you’ll just end up making even more mistakes.

Pick the right instructor

When learning to drive, it’s important to learn how to drive safely and confidently from the beginning, without picking up bad habits. It’s handy to have lessons from family and friends, but they must be over 21, have had a driving license for three years and be qualified and insured to drive the vehicle you’re learning in.
Qualified driving instructors are specially trained and have lots of experience and knowledge. They won’t let you get to a dangerous point and remember their vehicles have dual controls, a relaxing thought in itself.

Consider the frequency of your lessons

It’s great if you find a friend or family member willing to take you out, but if you’re relying on official driving instructor lessons alone, then don’t space them out too much. Lessons are expensive but an hour of driving a week may not be enough to get you feeling comfortable every time you get behind the wheel. It’s much better to do several hours in a week in the run up to a test instead. Some driving schools offer special intensive week-long courses for nervous drivers, with a test at the end, which are worth looking into.

Get to know your car inside and out!

Once you’ve mastered the controls of your car, the more comfortable you’ll feel driving it. So sit inside it and get to know what every lever, pedal and button does. This will stop you from fumbling around in a panic for the correct wipers, lights or heating controls the next time you need them. You should also lift the bonnet and learn the basic workings of the engine, including what and where the following are: brake fluid reservoir, dip stick, oil refill cap, engine coolant reservoir and windscreen washer reservoir – all things you could be asked about on the driving test.
