Driving test age rise considered for teenagers

Learners can currently take a driving test aged 17.

Teenagers may have to wait a year longer than they currently do, before they can take their driving test.

The government is considering issuing only 12- month probationary licences at the age of 18 in a bid to cut accidents involving young motorists.

New drivers would also face restrictions on carrying passengers.

This new legislation would recommend a one year ‘learner stage’ beginning at 17, during which drivers would have to total at least 100 hours of daytime and 20 hours of night-time practice under qualified supervision.

Learners can take their test at 18 and, if they pass, they will get a probationary license and have to display a green ‘p’ plate.

During this stage new drivers would face restrictions on carrying passengers and have a curfew 2200-0500.

After the 12- month probationary period, drivers would automatically graduate to a full license, with no special restrictions.

Driving lessons/schools Nottingham: Mock test

25 Jul

A mock driving test allows you and your instructor to identify any areas of your driving that need improvement before taking the DSA practical driving test.

It is of course significantly cheaper if you fail a mock driving test than if you fail the real one. Failing the real DSA test will involve more test booking fees, more driving lessons and there is always a waiting list to take into account. (To take a mock test with your instructor is the standard lesson price)

Book a mock test today : Fill out the form below and we’ll be in touch.

Driving lessons/tests, Nottingham Trent University

25 Feb

Exciting news, Nottingham Trent University is opening a driving school jointly run with the Driving Standards Agency.

Driving tests will be carried out by DSA staff from March 2013, after Roads minister Stephen Hammond gave the all clear for the (3-6 months) trial. Tests will be carried out from two sites, located at Clarendon Street and at the Clifton campus.

Stephen Hammond has said “The trial will help us understand how we can best provide a service for driving test candidates using universities. I am delighted that Nottingham Trent University is leading the way on opening up their sites not only to students but also the general public.

This builds on our recent announcement to conduct driving tests from branches of Halford and the DSA is also in discussion with areas of the Fire and Rescue Service.”

Anticipation.

18 Feb

Anticipation

Anticipation in driving means planning well ahead and acting promptly to deal with the changes that happen around you. It should, with experience, become an almost automatic reaction. It’s the hallmark of a good driver.

You need to continually question the actions of other road users.

If you plan ahead and try to anticipate the actions of others, you can:

avoid being taken by surprise
prevent some hazards developing
take early evasive action for those hazards that do develop.

Patience

It’s said that patience is a virtue, and this is certainly never more true than when your driving.

Sadly, incompetence, bad manners and aggression seem to be commonplace on our roads, but there is no excuse for this kind of behaviour when driving.

You shouldn’t let bad driving behaviour by others lead to any conflict. If you do , your well on the way to an accident.

Be prepared to make allowances for someone else’s mistakes. In everyone’s interest try to ignore their behaviour.

Dont

drive in a spirit of retaliation or competition
use aggressive language or gestures
try to teach another road user a lesson,even if they caused you inconvenience.

Do

keep calm
show restraint
use sound judgement.

There’s no better lesson than a good example.

Defensive driving pt 1

14 Feb

Defensive driving is based on effective observation, good anticipation and control. It’s about always questioning the actions of other road users and being prepared for the unexpected, so as not to be taken by surprise.

Defensive driving involves :

Awareness.
Planning.
Anticipation.
Staying in control.

And driving with :

Responsibility.
Care.
Consideration and courtesy.

It means putting safety above all else.

This means having real concern, not only for your own safety, but also for other road users, including the most vulnerable – those walking or riding.

Expect other people to make mistakes, and be ready to slow down or stop – even if you think you have the right of way.

Never rely on other road users doing the correct thing.

Your safety

Your safety lies mainly in your own hands. The better control of your vehicle and the road space, the safer you will be.

Set a good example

Your driving should always set a good example to other road users.

You never know when your good example will make a deep impression on another driver, especially a learner or inexperienced driver, and perhaps save lives in the future.

Reducing hostility

With defensive driving, you will show more patience and anticipation. This will help reduce the number of incidents which result in :

Open hostility.
Abusive language.
Threats .
Physical violence.

Avoid the kind of driving that :

Gives offence to other road users.
Provokes reaction.
Creates dangerous situations.

competitive driving

Never drive in a spirit of competition.

competitive driving is, inherently, the opposite of defensive driving. It increases the risk to everyone.

Observation

When you check the mirrors, just checking is not enough. You must act sensibly on what you see.

You must make a mental note of the :

Speed.
Behaviour.
Possible intentions.

of any other road user.

If you are not observing correctly, you cannot assess a traffic situation correctly.

At junctions, there’s no point in just looking, if your view is obstructed – for example, by parked vehicles. You must also move carefully into a position where you can see without emerging into the path of oncoming traffic.

L – Look
A – Assess and
D – Decide before you
A – Act.

That’s what effective observations is all about.

Observing what’s ahead

A skilful driver constantly watches and interprets whats ahead.

Do

Always drive at such a speed that you can stop safely within the distance which you can see to be clear.

A good driver will constantly scan the road ahead and to the side and, by frequent use of the mirrors, be aware of the situation behind.

Dont

Drive beyond the limits of your own vision.

Approaching a bend Ask yourself :

Can i see the full picture?
How sharp is it?
Am i in the right position?
Is my speed right?
What might i meet?
Could i stop if i had to?

Drivers attitude

4 Jan

No matter how good , how fast, how expensive or how efficient your vehicle is, it is you, THE DRIVER, who determines whether it is a safe means of transport.

Driver skill and driver attitude are two key areas which determine your approach behind the wheel.

There is, after all, a lot of enjoyment and satisfaction to be gained from showing your skill and ability but also courtesy and consideration to those around you. Apart from the reward of a nod or a smile in appreciation, you will have the added satisfaction of knowing that you are making our roads much safer.

The right attitude and behaviour are the key factors to becoming a good driver .

Book a mock test today

Many learner drivers go into the driving test without ever previously taking a mock test. Although it is not essential to take a mock driving test it can significantly improve your chances of passing the real exam. A mock driving test allows you and your instructor to identify any areas of your driving that need improvement before taking the DSA practical driving test. It is of course significantly cheaper if you fail a mock driving test than if you fail the real one. Failing the real DSA test will involve more test booking fees, more driving lessons and there is always a waiting list to take into account.
