How to Become an Expert in Driving a Car

Like everything in life, the only way to get good at something is to practice. This is especially important when learning how to drive. Getting the theory part of your licence is extremely important because if you do not know the rules of the road you will put yourself and other road users in danger. However, knowing the rules of the road and actually driving on them are two very different notions, so once you have passed your theory test, it is time to get on the road.

The Basics: Putting In the Road Hours

If you want to pass your Driving test then you are going to need Driving Lessons. A lesson really means practice and the only restrictions on a learner driver is that?

•The driver displays L plates on the car they are driving

•The driver is accompanied by a person who is qualified in both age and driving experience.

These requirements can vary from country to country so make sure you check your government's Drivers Licensing agency website for the precise information.

Most countries have a minimum number of hours you should drive before you take your test but the rule of thumb is the more hours you can spend learning the better.

Advanced Driving: Driving With the Professionals

Even if you have an Uncle who has been a driving for 30 years and knows every driving trick in the book, it is worth booking some lessons with a professional as they will have all the recent driving test information. A lot of Driving Schools offer packages which will include the fee for the driving test. Seeking out a local firm is also advised because they will be able to teach you on the roads where you will actually do the test which will help you improve your familiarity with the local roads. Building a rapport with a local school is also advantageous once you have passed your test as you may find that you want some additional Driving Lessons in driving conditions you are less comfortable with.

Expert Driving: Specialisation

As I stated at the beginning of this article, the only way to get good at something is with practice. If you want to get really good at it then you need to keep practicing. This is beyond getting top up lessons from your local instructor. A lot of Driving Schools offer specialised lessons such as off-road four wheeled driving, motorway driving, inner city driving or even courses such as defensive driving, driving in the dark, driving in the snow and driving in the wet.

No matter how long you have been driving, what you drive or where you drive. To maintain your skills you need to keep up to date on the rules of the road and practice driving. The best place to improve specific areas is on the types of advanced driving course listed above, if you truly want to become an expert driver then these course are well worth the expense.
