Publisher's Synopsis
This book has been prepared primarily to help learners follow a structured series of driving lessons in preparation for taking their practical test. It follows closely the requirements for driver training as laid down by the Driving & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) who conduct all driving tests. In its various sections it includes the following.
1. Twelve complete and fully illustrated lesson plans covering the twelve elements which are assessed during your practical driving test.
2. A total of almost 150 full colour illustrations each of which focuses in detail on the subheadings in the various lesson plans. For the sake of conformity and clarification the blue car in every image is always the learner vehicle.
3. A guide to the most commonly experienced driving faults committed by learners allowing them to be more aware of the pitfalls and to help with self assessment.
4. A multiple choice Question & Answer section (complete with answers) enabling you to check just how much you have learned.
The lesson plans have been set out in a general logical order with a view to taking you through from novice to test standard and beyond. However, the order in which the plans are presented and the subject matter contained therein should be adapted to meet your own needs. You may for example have already taken a number of lessons and are struggling in one particular area. Or you may indeed have already taken a test and failed on one or more of the specific elements. In either case a study of this book will undoubtedly help.
This book is designed to help you understand what is expected of a learner driver and whilst it will be an invaluable asset in the learning process there is no substitute for practical driving lessons with a qualified instructor. A fully qualified instructor should by law display a green octagonal licence in the windscreen of the tuition vehicle to indicate he or she is a DVSA approved instructor. So look for the licence badge before you take lessons and better still look for a driving school which uses the instructor's version of this book so that you are both on the same wavelength.
This book costs a fraction of the average cost of learning to drive, but it will be money well spent. You will learn quicker. You will need fewer lessons. It will save you money.
Good luck with your lessons and Drive Safely.
