If you have been a reader of my blog before, I have mentioned about my experience with driving. It took me three times to pass my driving practical test and I did it first time for my theory. If you're like I was, and didn't really want to learn to drive and was scared as hell. Then I hope these helpful tips can encourage you to get behind the wheel.
1. Do it in Your Own Time
Please don't compare yourself to your friends, if you don't want to learn to drive as soon as you turn 17. Don't. If it takes your friend five months to learn and it takes you longer, don't worry. Every person passes at a different time and it takes different people different ways to get it right. It took me 15 months, it took a boy in my year, three months!
2. Concentrate
This is a given but seriously, if your instructor is explaining how to do something, put all your focus into that. Driving is expensive so make sure to put all your effort into it!
3. Practice makes Perfect
Don't get annoyed if you don't get something first time, just pick yourself back up and just do it again. Put all your attention into it and you'll nail that maneuver!
4. Don't get Disheartened
If you fail first time, second time, however many times, please don't get disheartened. I failed my first test in September and didn't rebook my test or contact my instructor until January. But then when I failed my second test, that night I rebooked. Just stop sulking and do it, you can't change it so just sort it!
5. Think of the End Result
This applies to so many things and not just driving. But just think, once all your lessons are over, you can drive forever. Unless you're a naughty driver and you get your license taken off you, I suggest you don't do that.
I hope these little tips helped you think you can tackle the world of driving. I just want to add that I have only down one maneuver since passing my test, the turn in the road. You learn the majority of the rules of driving, once you're alone on the roads! Good luck kids!
