Driving Lessons for Nervous Driver

 

Nervous Drivers

Your not alone, many more people experience nerves related to driving

Although most people will not admit it, learning to drive can be very daunting. Just arranging your first lessons and booking them in can be a hard step alone. For some, the open road and a feeling of freedom can be exhilarating, but for others, the thought of it is enough to break into a sweat. We understand this and we are here to help every step of the way, from day one to completing your driving test. When you first speak to us, we will have a chat about what your biggest fears in regards to driving are and then take steps to address them head on.

As a new driver or a learner driver out on the road, nervousness is understandable; you are becoming more independent and it’s going to be an exciting process. It’s perfectly normal to be nervous. However, if you do not learn to control it, it could lead to an accident and claims on your insurance. If the nerves are really getting to you, here are a few tips of ours that you can do yourself to help.

Suffering from nerves when driving?

Make Life Easier For Yourself.

As a new driver or a learner driver out on the road, nervousness is totally understandable, you are becoming more independent and it’s going to be an exciting process. It’s perfectly normal to be nervous. Taking driving lessons with a Fully Approved driving instructor is the best step, learning with parents or a (trainee) driving instructor may actually lead to increased anxiety and nervous so try a fully approved driving instructor. If the nerves are really getting to you, here are a just few tips of ours that you can do yourself to help.

 

 

  1. Try practicing on a sunday morning or between 10am-12pm on weekdays
  2. Ignore your phone - not only is it illegal, just the sound of it going off can be distracting.
  3. Take some refresher lessons with an instructor.
  4. Make others aware - make use of your 'P' plates.
  5. Sit down and focus on the positives you will get from driving.
  6. Plan an easy route you know well to build confidence.
  7. Take out a friend you trust.
  • Practice makes perfect, eventually.
    •  
    We also help experienced drivers offering a range of "refresher lessons' for nervous drivers.

    What to Expect In Your First Lesson


    When booking your first lesson, your instructor will have a chat with you outlining what to expect on your first lesson and the types of roads and locations that you can start on. The aim of this is to give you an idea of what will happen in the first few lessons and to help calm some of the anxiety you may have before beginning.

    Most people expect that they will put straight out on large busy roads and have to deal with heavy traffic from day one, this is NEVER the case for beginners or nervous drivers; we always start on a very quiet, wide open side road. With our unrivalled local knowledge here at Totally Driving we will know the perfect location in every area covered.
    In the first lesson we will then determine your skill level, this is to then create a plan adapted to your needs. We know everyone wants to pass their test first time and get on the road as soon as they can, so we plan our lessons to your own individual ability to get the maximum benefits, without any intense pressure.

    For those who may have already had lessons with a previous instructor, we again create a bespoke plan, just using your past experience as well. This means you get to start where you left off, not begin all over again.

    Lacking Confidence

    We've Done This Before

    Here at Totally Driving we have helped many existing drivers get back their driving skills and confidence. This is done by how we structure our lessons; we understand what makes you enjoy a lesson and what helps you understand the learning involved.

    Driving Lesson Times

    Each Driving lesson is suited to you, so if you are feeling particularly anxious about driving we can find and a start location to help reduce the nervous associated with the first driving lesson.

    The Benefit Of Using A Local Driving Instructor

    Your instructor will be teaching you from the first lesson until the day you pass. We do not feel that swapping an instructor half way through is productive for the pupil. Unlike national schools, we know the local area very well and take advantage of this knowledge to make sure you start and drive in areas suited to your level of driving.
