Please find an extract from www.your-online-driving-school.co.uk website on an extremely useful e-book, that could well save you money on your driving lessons!
Private practice e-book
When I started my training to become an ADI I remember being surprised at just how much you had to think about, both in the planning of lessons and what needed to be said and watched for during the lessons. As an experienced driver who also had experience of training people in a previous career, I thought that I already knew what to say and do to teach someone to drive. However I soon realised this was not the case and discovered just how easy it was to miss out important information or miss errors in the learner's drive and much much more! But with the right information and advice I was soon providing good quality tuition, enabling my pupils to become good competent drivers and of course pass their driving tests.

Learning to drive age limit!

As a driving instructor I am reguarly asked when is the minimum age for learning to drive going to change?The answer is the same as it was over 20 years ago when I was learning to drive, and that is there is no change, the minimum age (in most cases) is still 17 years old. The Driving Stanards Agency (DSA) are currently conducting a consultation paper on various aspects relating to learning to drive. One of the areas being considered is the minimum age limit. My own feelings are that there will be no change, however when the final decisions on the consultation paper are published we will advise you here of any changes. All information correct at October 2008 We hope that you find the following pages helpful and informative
