Our top three faults we see when preparing our students for a driving test.
http://learntodrivedublin.ie/ Each and every day we see candidates for driving test preparation the same faults keep on arising.We are listing our top three that we feel come up over and over again.Starting off with the observation section we have No 1 failing to observation correctly at T-junctions.Now what does this mean exactly?Lets start off by imaging two types of T-junction ,open and closed.An open T-junction is when you can see clearly in both directions on approach ,an by see clearly I mean at least 100 yards in each direction.If there is a yield sign here then you may not have to stop to access ,however at closed T-junctions were your view is obscured in either one or both directions by for example walls,bushes,houses,parked cars or any other hazard then a stop is essential regardless of what the sign says.By stopping this will give you the opportunity to access the road properly before committing to the turn.You must look clearly in both directions before moving on.It is vital that when you move into the new road that you do not cause another road user to slow or stop for your actions. I always ask my students to use the LADA routine here.Look into the road,Access the situation ,Decide on what your course of action will be,An Act on the decision that you make.No 2 Reaction to hazards.What is a hazard exactly you may ask?It is anything that makes you change your speed of course.Reading the road well ahead and reacting early to obstructions is vital.Checking mirrors well in advance and deciding if a signal is necessary is vital.A common fault I see here constantly is a student driving too close to a hazard and leaving all observation and adjusting position to the last second.Residential areas are prone to a high volumes of parked cars so make sure your keeping yourself in a position that you can clearly see the road ahead and all other road users can see you.As the list of hazards is endless this is just a simple example of dealing with them,an No 3 is and to alot of peoples surprise driving TOO SLOW.Isn't driving slow the safest way to go I hear you say.No not exactly as you then become the obstruction on the road.This is a very common fault amongst drivers who tell me that they are always above the speed limit in their everyday driving.They know that this is an obvious fault so on pre test day they slow their speed down ,but often far too much and are constantly looking at their speedometer .Driving at the correct speed without looking at clocks is an essential part of safe driving where by your eyes are always on the road.So if your driving test sheet has marks on progress then this maybe were your going wrong.There are plenty more areas in lack of progression but this is one that occurs more frequently.So before embarking on any driving test make sure that you leave plenty of time to prepare yourself.Get an assessment done from any qualified ADI and they will tell you exactly what you need.The earlier the better then you will have ample time to make any changes required and have your driving natural rather than forced.

How to choose a good driving school.
11/7/13.http://learntodrivedublin.ie/ Choosing a good driving school can be somewhat of a hit and miss experience.You will find yourself bombarded with adverts everywhere claiming that they are the holy grail of driving schools.So how do we distinguish the good from the not so good?How do we make sure we are not handing out our hard earned cash to be met with disappointment?So here are some ideas to ponder.
.What are the reviews and comments about this driving school?A great source to find this info which cannot be falsified is https://www.facebook.com/learntd as each student has their own individual account so it would be impossible to hack into every account and write a fictitious review.Websites as a general rule are flooded with reviews that,s let say dodgy at best .Pupils generally don,t post big long reviews but pop up between one to three sentences about their experience with the driving school.
.Recommendations are good,in fact probably the best way to get a good driving school.Ask friends /family members who they done their driving lessons with and would they recommend them.
.Be very careful if price is your only concern when booking driving lessons.As there are driving schools especially targeting the cheaper end of the market and supplying lesson quality to suit.Ask yourself what is the market average and question why prices maybe higher or lower and ask the school to give examples of how they justify their price.Remember you get what you pay for.
Biggest is not always best.Alot of individual private driving instructors operate on a reputation only basis and for this they need to consistently supply top quality driving lessons .Your will also get the same instructor throughout your lessons and not get chopped and changed .They generally can,t compete with the bigger schools when it comes to advertising revenue so have to rely on the quality service they provide.However the bigger driving schools will have more flexibility for suiting your time schedule.
An finally is my driving instructor on the road safety authority register?http://www.rsa.ie/Utility/Driving-Instructors1/Check-ADI-Register/ this applies to the Irish market only.
We wish you well in your search to find a good driving instructor an hope some of these points help in your quest.
