Don’t Teach Kids Your Bad Habits!
Support your child learning to drive by reinforcing the same skills and techniques.
Many parents help their children to drive by practising outside of lessons and it really helps if you can give them that extra practice in your car. However, people who’ve been driving for many years often can’t remember the precise details of their driving lessons and tests. We all become comfortable in the way we drive but, at seventeen and raring to go, children can pick up bad habits with the potential to hinder passing their practical test.
- Do you remember the correct mirror-signal procedures?
- Do you know the rules of the road?
- Have you kept up to date with revisions of the Highway Code?
Few people can confidently answer yes to all three of the above.
Why not take a Refresher Course before you accompany your child in your car. A short update lesson is all that is needed to help keep you both calm and ‘in the know’. An hour, with you observing and taking notes, will give you an insight into how learner drivers are instructed, the routines they’re taught and what’s expected of them when they take their driving test. The Refresher Course will reduce the chance of you son/daughter picking up bad habits, which will otherwise have to be addressed and rectified in lesson time, and avoid arguments that usually prefixed with “Well my instructor told me…”
Your Refresher Course can be timed to best suit when you’re ready to accompany your child, be that at the beginning – helping with clutch control, or when they have developed more skill with junctions for example.
We are currently offering a special offer of a free Refresher Course when you block book your first ten lessons.
