Introduction (copied from Front Page)

A driving lesson normally falls into two parts. At the beginning of the lesson the new subject is briefed whilst the car is stationary and then the new skills are practised with the client driving the car. The ratio of theory time to practice time is mostly governed by two factors:

1. There is a limit to the amount of new information a student can absorb during a theory session.

2. There is also a cost/time limit where the client may begin to wonder if they are getting their monies worth if too much time is spent with the car stationary.

 Because of these factors the usual format is to give the main points of the subject whilst stationary and then add further information as the client drives the car. This further information is added as and when situations arise and is given on the move or whilst briefly stopped. This isn’t ideal as it can be difficult for the client to take in these new instructions when coping with other driving tasks - and stopping / starting interrupts the rhythm and pace of the lesson. As the course progresses it can also be difficult for the instructor to remember exactly what added information has and has not been passed on, and onto which client.

The idea behind these pages is that the client can read about a lesson subject before the lesson takes place. Having this prior knowledge will allow the client to pick up on the lessons more easily and therefore more quickly. After the lesson the client can also use these notes to consolidate what they have learnt during the lesson. This additional learning can take place in the comfort of their home and away from distractions.

Very Important Caveat.

Driving involves a continuous process of problem solving. Broadly speaking the same problems will crop time and time again but with many subtle and not so subtle differences, depending upon the conditions at the time. The rules and solutions laid out in the following pages will apply for most of the time but the driver should always be looking out for other circumstances which may mean that the problem has to be solved in another way. Don't take any problem at face value, look around for other complications that may require a modification of the usual rules. Anticipate, be prepared to adapt and keep it safe!
