If you are considering learning to drive fear can play a massive role on helping you decide whether to take the plunge or not, that is why it is imperative that if you do decide to go ahead and learn to drive, you choose a driving instructor that can make you feel comfortable and put you at ease whilst at the same time fill you with confidence as learning to drive in and around London can be daunting to even the most experienced driver out there.
Of course you will get offer from family and close friends who can teach you to drive and this may seem like a totally valid option as it will save you money and you will already know the person teaching you but the advantages of going with a driving instructor far outweigh those of the former as you will be receiving professional tuition. These qualified driving instructors will have gone through some high level intense training in order to get their qualification and this will totally benefit you when learning to drive around the streets of London.
The great thing is that you will be able to learn to drive whilst at the same time learning how to get around the streets of London occasionally during the peak hours and other times around the off peak hours which itself will provide a great experience as you will learn how to deal with having large amounts of traffic around you and high volumes of commuters / pedestrians to deal with.
This is really advantageous as the confidence you gain from this driving experience will hold you in good stead and in some circumstances could potentially help you to become a far more experienced driver compared to others that have never taken their driving lessons in London before or it’s slightly less busy suburbs, such as Islington or Camden.
Always ensure that you pick a driving instructor that has very good ‘knowledge’ or the roads running in and around London as this will make your driving experience a lot more enjoyable and comfortable. If they are a good instructor then they will be able to take you around some of the quieter areas of London to gently build your experience and confidence before then helping you to progress around the more popular areas. They will also know of the routes used within the driving tests and will potentially be able to take you around some of those routes to help you familiarise yourself and help you to prepare.
