Nervous learners can be taught to drive by one of the UK’s most experienced instructors. Learner drivers are naturally nervous at the start of their lessons. Consequently, the reassurance of a qualified instructor will help build confidence within the nervous learner driver.
The last eight nervous learner drivers that have taken their driving test have all passed first time with no driver errors. Every one of those eight students was as nervous as yourself. You might think at the moment that no one can be as nervous as you, but how do you know that for sure?
Driving lessons – nervous learners that help gain confidence
The best way to overcome nerves is to understand that it’s not you who is the nervous one. Your environment of friends and family will influence your life. Stories on social media and your perception of learning to drive will all affect the way you think. To be nervous about any new event is normal.
Every step of the way on your first driving lesson, you are helped as much as you need. You are expected to know very little to nothing about learning to drive.
You may have a relative or friend that had a particularly negative experience while learning to drive. The story you told, hopefully in good faith, would have been exaggerated over time. As an example 15 years ago, I took a student to her driving test, and she failed. I asked her where did she fail? She said on the road from Coupar Angus to Blairgowrie. “What was the problem?” I replied. “It was an absolute nightmare.” She said.
She came back for more lessons after about two weeks. I asked again. “What was the problem?” The answer came back.
“A tractor got in front of me, then everything went wrong.”
I still didn’t manage to get to the bottom of what went wrong. This particular pupil had blotted it out of her mind and couldn’t recall the incident. She passed next time, and one can only wonder what she would tell her children about that day!
Pass first time driving lessons nervous learners
The proven method to help you pass your driving test first time is learning from a professional instructor who has years of experience of helping people who are nervous learners. One who knows how you feel on every lesson and will help you every step of the way to reach your first-time pass.
The best way to learn is to start lessons on an intensive driving course. Regular driving lessons are an excellent way to start your learning to drive programme. Intensive courses that have the first lesson on a Monday and a test at the end of the week. Those are the worst kind of courses available for those who are nervous. From day one, the pressure is on to pass a driving test. Learning first should be a priority. Learn to drive confidently, and you will be able to get through your test first time.
Trial driving lesson – nervous learners
One sure way to overcome nerves is to book a trial lesson with no commitment to continue. That way, you get to know your instructor and the type of car you will be using for lessons. If everything seems compatible, you will have reduced your nerves dramatically before you start your intensive course. You will even have some idea as to how many lessons you might need before you become a confident driver. It might not be as many as you think.
Trial driving lessons – nervous learners last for one hour and can be booked for only a £20 deposit. Once a time is agreed, you can either pay cash on the day or via the card payment page using the ‘assessment link to PayPal’
