A big well done to George Burton of Maidenhead who passed his test on his first attempt in Slough
A big well done to George Burton of Cheshunt (residing in Maidenhead) who passed his test on his first attempt in Slough this morning with just a few driving faults.
The test included a left hand reverse and an emergency stop and was one of the new unknown routes from the current test centre requiring the negotiation of the big Colnbrook roundabout/gyratory system.
Your first lesson – What to expect?
Your Blue School of Motoring instructor will pick you up from your home, school or place of work. Your driving instructor will then explain to you how your driving course is going to work. What to prepare for how to study for the theory test, there will be a lot going on in your first lesson, so a two hour session is usually the norm.
You will driven
somewhere away from busy streets, so you do not have to deal with any complex traffic situations on your first lesson. Bring along or wear some sensible shoes that will make using the foot controls easier.
Don’t worry if you forget anything,
your instructor will use a drivers record of progress, which keeps a track of all that you have done.
Car control can be a lot to take in at first – it’s all about physical motor reactions, which sometimes require a new range of skills, response times and hand-to-eye co-ordination skills. Even a simple procedure like moving off involves dealing with the clutch, gears, handbrake, indicators and checking the mirrors – it’s like you’re in multitasking overdrive.
But don’t worry,
your instructor will go over these area’s time and time again until you gradually begin to do more on your own.
