Driver Training – Skill 4 Life
Many learner drivers or their families seem to think that driving instructors are stupid, not inteligent and can’t do any other job which is why they are stuck with giving tuition to provisional licence holders. Over the years, I seen many comments online about ADI’s or just from the way instructors are addressed, I mentioned in the past about the swearing pupil who thought that paying me money earnt them the right to do whatever they liked in my car. Yesterday I got an email via my driving school website from learner driver which went something like this: “I am interested in taking 25 driving lessons with you, but I have a question about the Borehamwood test centre, what distance do they test your eyesight from, and do they use a particular number plate?” Now did the sender of this email think that I would only answer the question if they promised me something in return, because I was desperate for more learner drivers?

I understand that some of you ADI’s may not have been clear about the cost of the UEL (University of London) Driver Coaching Course for driving school instructors advertised in our recent e-mail. So, to clarify, the cost of this 3 day driver training course is normally £325.00 (three hundred and twenty-five pounds) but is being offered for just £125.00 (One hundred and twenty-five pounds) if you take part in the study. A copy of the original e-mail has been posted on the ADI Forum (CPD Section)
I was talking to some driving school instructors recently about the recent snow closures and loss of earnings for our industry, when an important point was raised. Not all ADI teaching insurance will cover an instructor while giving learner drivers tuition in adverse weather conditions like the one we experienced earlier in January 2010, and each instructor needs to check the small print of the cerificate policy to see if there are any exemptions in this or other circumstances

ADI Driving School Insurance
With the credit crunch hitting hard, many driving instructors will be wondering of ways to make extra income to suppliment the loss of earnings due to the reduction in the number of people taking driving lessons . There are 2 avenues that you can look at when thinking of ways of earning extra income as a driving instructor. 1.

I was finally able to give some driving lessons to some learner drivers today after the recent snow and very cold adverse weather that has been sweeping across the UK. Being a saturday, the main roads were not too busy when I started but clear of snow or black ice, but the side road were very slippery. Luckly the first learner driver pupil of the day lived on a main road, was at a very good standard, and while I knew we would not be able to practice any driving test maneuvers , I had a lot planned including making progress on dual carriageways (including 70mph ones), anticipation and planning, dealing with hazards on high streets, country roads.

This one may land in the “rumor” file, but a German site is reporting that the Campos team is seeking a new owner — either for a total or just partial purchase. Motorsport-total.com has this news (which has been picked up by other sites). Here’s a bit of translation: The…

Since I changed my driving school car lease to the Toyota Yaris , I have been having a lot of vafourable comments from students who have really been enjoying their driving lessons in this cute little japanese car. The 1.0 engine in the Toyota yaris is very economical on fuel a big bonus for instructors, but this does have the downside of meaning that it takes time to build up speed on dual carriageways so you need to persist in making progress during the test so the dsa examiner does not mark you down for hesitation

With Christmas fast approaching, there is no doubt that winter is finally here, and as such there is always a chance of the DSA cancelling a driving test on short notice due to snow or icy road conditions in the folowing months of the year, decemcer, January and possibly febuary. The unfortunate thing is that you will not be compensated by the DSA if your test is cancelled on short notice due to weather, so if the weather had been bad overnight, and you have a test early in the morning, you should call the number on your driving test appointment letter to confirm your assessment is still going ahead, this might save you a wasted journey, though your driving instructor is most likely to still charge you for his diary time already booked. For a driving school owner, this is that time of the year when I often have to cancel driving lessons due to snow , which is bad for business, but what can one due as the circumstances are beyond one’s control, and you can’t risk damaging your school car for the sake of a £20 lesson, especially if you have a hefty insurance excess premium to pay

Driving Test cancellations in Winter
Last week the weather conditions gave me a chance of giving a few learner drivers some driving lessons in snow and icy conditions for the very first time of their lives. You might be asking if it is a good idea to take provisional licence holders out in such conditions, and the answer is yes because this might be the only time that they would be able to learn how to deal with both the weather conditions and other road user who might be driving dangerously as I was able to prove to one learner driver from an experience instructor. We exprienced a driver going too fast for the conditions, braking and swerving into parked cars

Driving Lessons in snow
As a driving school instructor not only do I possess many years of experience on the road, but I’ve taught hundreds of provisional licence holders how to drive and prepare for the UK practical driving test and thus I’ve seen all of the tricks in the trade, and thus I’m not surprised when some of these learner drivers think that they are smarter than their driving instructor. When it comes to passing the DSA practical driving test, knowing what the examiner is expecting during the 40 minutes of the test, or determining if a provisional licence holder is ready or not, you will never be smarter than a department of transport approved driving instructor, and I strongly suggest to listen to any advice you are given by an ADI . Fears of being ripped off I know many learner drivers have fears of being ripped off by a driving instructor , and there are many cases where learners have been taken for a ride by those teaching them to drive, but you can reduce the chances of that happening by using the learner drivers record available on the DSA website to track your progress, remembering that each lesson should have been used to learn or practice a skill mentioned in the booklet

Smarter than driving Instructor
Today I had to cancel all my driving lessons due to snow which for me as an instructor means a loss of earnings which I can’t make up for because I might not be able to reschedule all of them for this week. So is there anything you can do as a driving school owner to minimise loss of income if you have to cancel lessons due to bad weather such as heavy snow or black ice on the road? The true simple answer is NO
