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.

Our pretest package your driving test .

Many driving schools in Dublin offer a pretest service when your preparing for your driving test.However the results that follow are widely different.Each driving instructor has his/her way of preparing a pupil for their test.Here at http://learntodrivedublin.ie/ we have perfected our pretest course to include ,an assessment on lesson 1 ,which assesses your ability on one of the driving test routes in your chosen test centre.A driving test marking sheet is used to give you the most accurate account of your driving level.It is this assessment that is vitally important for you to be successful in your driving test.If you know were your going wrong it's easy to fix.You will then be given a detailed report on all aspects of your driving and you can ask any questions to help get all the correct techniques you'll need to pass your driving test.You'll will then be offered a demonstration drive to visually show you exactly how safe driving is achieved.This is optional but highly recommended.After this your driving instructor can best advise you on what driving lesson training you will require.We also request that you view our driving lesson channel on youtubehttp://www.youtube.com/user/drivinglessondublin?feature=guide

Common mistakes in the driving test.

One of the key areas in been successful in your driving test is the time an effort you put in to the preparation.Some driving test candidates expect to get good results arriving the day of the test or the day before to do ,and I quote...A quick pretest or I just need a few pointers my driving fine.The fact is driving tests are no different than any other test you do.You will get out exactly what you put in.Try to give yourself at least 2 -4 weeks preparation time to allow for learning new techniques and changing any bad driving practices(bad habits)that you may have .Your driving style should look seem-less and not forced.Also when you do a training course it gives you the experience of driving while been under the watchful eye of a trained professional.Make sure that the vehicle you choose to do the driving test has current road tax ,insurance and nct if applicable and that you arrive with your learner permit.A further note on insurance,(you must be named on the policy).http://learntodrivedublin.ie/ can supply pre test driving lessons leading up to your test  and driving test car hire on the day of your driving test.Further to this preparation list I've compiled a short list of faults that occur commonly on the test itself.

.Lack of observation moving off,at junctions,changing lane and roundabouts.

.Failure to react in good time to hazards.

Not using mirrors in good time .

.Not maintaining correct speed for varying situations.

.Incorrect positioning when turning left/right/on the straight and on roundabouts.

.Showing poor observation when conducting manouevres.

What is the key areas when reversing around a corner in your driving test.

http://learntodrivedublin.ieFirstly I'd like to point out that reversing around a corner is not as difficult a task as most people make out.One of the mistakes I see is a pupil trying to keep way to close to the kerb and in doing so neglect their all round awareness because their too busy looking in their left wing mirror.Taking the three areas in the driving test in order that they are on the driving test report sheet.
1)competency.This is your ability to keep the vehicle under full control by proper of the clutch,brake,accelerator,steering and handbrake as necessary.You should also be able to make adequate progress.You should not hit or mount the kerb or swing wildly into the road your reversing.
2)Observation.You should be able to display a high standard of all round observation looking in all directions  .A driver tester does not want to see a pupil just looking in the left hand wing mirror.360 degree view is vital.Our video on how to reverse around a corner http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CunH75RKgqM covers all aspects of covering this manoeuvre in detail.
3)Yielding right of way.Should any other road user approach while your are reversing you should stop immediately.Causing another road user to slow or stop for your actions is not only bad driving practice but may lead to a driving test fail.
