Tips for Driving Test Preparation

If you are a learner, being taught by a Professional driving instructor is quite important. Today many family members or friends help the learner driver and they have this view that "I can do what a professional instructor can. But the fact is that many professional drivers have bad driving habits.

For example: a large number of drivers do not use the interior mirror. Also they do not driver hands positioned on the steering wheel correctly.

An expert driving instructor should know the safe driving rules, and should be able to teach you the way to driver safely. Also some learners become nervous while driving, so these experts should know how to handle these types of learners.

Always give priority to those who are recommended to you. Referred driving instructor is the best way to search for a professional instructor. Always discuss with friends before you choose your driving instructor. During these lessons, the learner driver needs to remember what they have been taught by their driving instructor and should put the methods into practice. Compressing as many lessons as possible in a short period of time may not be fruitful for all learners. If time and money allow, the learner should try to book in at least one lesson per week with a driving instructor and preferably two, for 1-2 hours per session.

When the driving instructor feels that the learner is ready for the full practical driving test, it is always good to perform a mock test. This entails the driving instructor to act as an examiner and for the learner to take instructions as in a real test and execute a number of procedures that will be given, such as turning the car on the road. This will give the learner a good example of what to expect of the actual test, so that they can be prepared in advance.
