Driving Lessons Birmingham v Self Taught Pupils

There are lots of DIY packages available to people using books or videos to learn how to drive, but one thing is for sure, they will never be as effective or make you as safe on the roads as you would be if you took driving lessons Birmingham from a DSA qualified driving instructor.

Self taught pupils will never have the input of a professional instructor and the experienced driver, who is legally obliged to be in the car with you, overlooks problems that a professional would not. Driving instructors know what to look for and will pick up on your mistakes allowing you to improve as a driver, getting you on your way to passing your test. However if you try to self teach the chances of you passing your test are slim, you don’t have the right knowledge or understanding that driving instructors give to increase your chances of passing your test.

Bad habits can be easily picked up by a self-taught learner as you aren’t taught how to do something properly. Self taught learners don’t know specific rules of the road and they become lazy with small parts of driving because it hasn’t being drilled into them by a driving instructor. They usually start to miss out essential safety rules because they don’t see the point as it’s never explained to them. When on your driving test examiners look for particular elements in your driving that only driving instructors are aware of.

They will tell you about them on your driving lessons and teach you how to implement them, but if you’re teaching yourself you won’t know what the examiners look for in your driving and as a result decrease your chances of passing.
There are many elements to learning how to drive and certain parts can be more difficult than others. Controls and moving off and stopping may seem easier to teach yourself however learning to do manoeuvres is tricky when learning with a qualified instructor so without one it will be a lot harder!
