Driving Lessons before the Driving Test
Driving Lessons Before Your Driving Test.article published 03 10 06 (c) Astral Driving School 2000-2006
One of the main reasons for the high Driving Test failure rate throughout Ireland is summed up by the principle of: If you fail to plan then you are planning to fail! Most young drivers, particularly Males, but not exclusively so, think that just by owning a car and driving for perhaps a year or so, is all that is necessary to pass the Driving Test! But worse, all that is ever going to be needed in the learning department! Learning to Drive and building a sound foundation on which to continue this learning process is a separate and much more important subject than passing the Driving Test. The Learning process will continue for the whole of your Driving career since things are constantly out there in the world of Motoring… New Laws; New Roads; New Vehicles; New Technology; New Fuels; New Drivers…the list goes on. So it’s a constantly evolving process which requires a Driver’ attention if he or she is to stay safe and stay out of other driver’s misfortune!
In order to have any chance at all of surviving the mayhem that is Driving Today, a If you fail to plan your graduated approach to both Learning to Drive Safely AND to preparing for your Driving Test, then by default you are planning to fail. In this case you could be not only heading for a Big Fail on the Test but also for a Big Fall. Our files and records are full of the sad statistics of young Drivers who just didn’t make it to their 25th.Birthdays. Our Pupil files and records are full of happier statistics of Learner Drivers who took care with their planning and succeeded with First Time passes on the Driving Test in Ireland. There are also many records of more mature pupils who rang up ten days before their Driving Test and took one lesson and failed miserably on the day. Today the Driving Test in Ireland, as in England and other European Countries requires that you have a fairly well established level of skill with all the basic manoeuvres understood and practised. In the lead up to the Driving Test there are many avenues that you have to explore with your chosen Instructor who will give you the insider information and tips that will be needed in order to Pass the Test! |
