Making Sure You Know The Basics Of Driving

The best way to start driving is to learn the theory side first. We’re not just talking about endless studying, we’re talking about really paying attention to the rules of the road so that when you start learning you don’t get taken by surprise.

It won’t hurt if you book in for your theory test as soon as you start your lessons as there is usually a long waiting list. The faster this is passed the more you will feel confident when you start driving. The theory test certificate does last two years, however, so it is important to aim to pass within this timeframe to avoid having to take it again.

Basics Of Driving Checklist

A good checklist to start with would be the following:

1. Make sure you know your road signs, even if it’s just the basic ones. Knowing when to give way, when you have right of way and knowing what’s coming up ahead is an invaluable skill when learning to drive. Don’t worry too much about the tricky ones as your driving instructor can point these out.
2. Get an idea of what kind of speed limits to expect for certain roads. Learning to drive through driving lessons in Birkenhead can be overwhelming and you will often be taking it slow. Spotting speed limit signs, whether they are the large signs or just repeater signs, will ensure you are progressing at the correct pace. Again, your driving instructor will let you know if you’re going too fast or slow.
3. Have a good grasp on the ‘rules of the road’. There are many resources available that can teach you this, Highway Code books, DVSA theory test apps on your phone and even family members can help you greatly when starting.
4. Learn a bit about your vehicle. All vehicles are different and have their buttons in different places. However, the fundamentals are the same, learning where the headlight switch is, indicators and how to adjust the seat and mirrors will make you feel a lot more comfortable when you first get into a vehicle. Your driving instructor will go over the basics with you on your first couple of lessons to help familiarise you.
