What to expect on your first lesson

What to expect in your first lesson

I can arrange the first lesson from a pick up address to suit you. After the usual introductions the first lesson will usually cover the following areas (time permitting):

  • Getting to know you, your aspirations for learning to drive and your preferred learning style.
  • Your personal access to the 'Theory Test Pro' website and it's resources.
  • Checking your provisional licence and your eyesight.
  • Getting to know the car and its controls.
  • Saftey checks for looking after and safely starting the car
  • Learning the 'cockpit drill' - how to make yourself safe and comfortable in the driver's seat
  • Steering technique
  • Use of mirrors
  • Understanding MSM
  • Driving the car - moving off, stopping and changing gear
  • Agreeing a plan for the next lesson
  • Updating your progress record

If time allows we may also cover:

  • The hill start
  • Turning left/right
  • A short drive if there is a suitable route nearby
