Having decided to take up driving lessons and get your driving licence you’ll be eager to get on the road as soon as possible. It’s important to note that patience is a virtue when it comes to learning to drive. Try not to set a time limit. You will hear many stories from you friends saying they did it in “X” amount of hours. It’s important to remember that everyone is different. You have a much better chance of passing first time round if you invest your time wisely with your driving lessons<\/a> or driving course.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Learning the controls of the car is one of the first things that your instructor will teach you, for some it can take a while to get to grips with, others take to it straight away. Before you take your driving test it is important that you feel confident with the basic controls of the car. If you’re just about managing to control the car on the road it may put pressure on you and you are going to feel nervous. Our instructors<\/a> will teach you some great techniques on how to manage the controls of the car, we also suggest some private practice if you legally have access to another vehicle.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Highway Code<\/a> is something you should really swot yourself up on, not just to pass the theory test but so you know exactly what’s happening on the roads.\u00a0 It is essential reading for every road user. It applies to pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders as well as drivers. Many of the rules of the Code are legal requirements and you may be fined, given points on your licence or disqualified if you don\u2019t obey them. In serious cases you could also be sent to prison. Having good knowledge of the highway code stands you in good stead for the driving test.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

If you prefer to pass within a short amount of time then an intensive driving course<\/strong><\/span><\/a> may be best suited to you. Intensive Courses or Crash Courses are set our over a perioid of two- ten days, depending on your experience. They are ideal for learner drivers are don’t have time for weekly driving lessons and prefer to condense their learning over a short period of time. Each day usually consists of 5-6 hours of driving and your practical driving test is on the final day of the course.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Plenty of road experience is vital. No point visiting the car park each week doing the same thing.<\/p>

Driving experience on dual carriageways, fast roads, country roads and slow & tight roads are essential to becoming a confident driver. We try not to confine you to the area around Blackpool Driving Test Centre. We ensure you drive on different types of roads before taking your test so that when you pass your test you should feel confident to drive on all types of roads.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Ignore all those ghastly stories you hear; ” The examiner failed me because I coughed,” ” The examiners are only allowed to pass a certain amount of people a day,” “Never take your test at the end of the day because they always fail you,” the list is endless! and of course these statements are NOT TRUE. We know Blackpool test centre very well and we also know that all the examiners are friendly, polite and fair.\u00a0 So try and ignore all the horror stories you hear. Our instructors will train you to the best of their ability so that you meet the required standards of the driving test.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A mock test with your instructor is a great way to get a feel of what to expect on the driving test. Our instructors have sat in on 100’s of driving tests in Blackpool\u00a0 and can play the role of an examiner very well. We will use the same form (DL25) that the examiner will use on your test. After the mock test<\/a> your instructor will discuss the areas of your driving that may need improving.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Driving with parents or other suitably qualified people whenever possible is a great idea and we actively promote this. When having private practice it is vital that you are practicing the same advice, skills and routines that your driving instructor has taught you,\u00a0 otherwise there is a danger you could pick up bad habits.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

It’s a good idea not to tell everybody that you’re doing the test, you will be putting added pressure on yourself. You will be distracted about who you’re going to be telling if you fail. You won’t give yourself the chance to enjoy the learning process and actually concentrate on the test itself. Once you pass your test then you can tell the whole world!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
