What To Expect From Your Lessons

What To Bring To Your First Lesson

It is important to bring your provisional licence to your first lesson. Alastair will have to check that it is valid in the correct category and check whether it has any endorsements. So that Alastair can view your licence record, you will also be asked to enter your national insurance number into the DVLA website. Don’t forget to wear contact lenses or glasses if you need them! At the start of the lesson Alastair will ask you to read a licence plate from 20 metres to ensure your vision is adequate to drive. Please try to ensure you have completed your payment before coming to the lesson, as this will have to be done before the lesson commences and you will want to make the most of the time available.

Your First Lesson With Alastair

After Alastair has completed your licence check and you have read the registration plate to demonstrate your eyesight, it’ll be time to get started!
Alastair will issue you with a reflective log book and explain how to use it. If you are completely new to driving, he will explain how to operate the controls in the car, but even if you have driven before he will run through everything in case it is different to what you are used to. Once the basics have been discussed, it's time to get moving! 

You are practicing for your practical driving test, so it makes sense to make the lessons as practical as possible. Whilst there will be some short portions of your lessons in which we sit on the roadside so Alastair can fully explain something, the majority of the time will be spent driving. 

Skill number one to learn is moving off and bringing the car to a stop under full control. Once you’ve got this under your belt there will be all sorts of new skills to learn! Alastair will ascertain what your goals are, and together we will find a pace at which you find comfortable learning. He looks forward to guiding you through this exciting stage of your life, knowing it will be a lot of fun, with a successful outcome.
