Why Use an instructor?
It is important to learn safe driving skills from the beginning of your driving career because bad habits are hard to break!
It is unlikely that anyone except an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) would have the experience, knowledge and training to teach you correctly. Learning safe driving habits from the start will improve the safety of yourself and other road users. You will also increase your chances of passing the driving test.
DTC believes that once you have learnt the basics, private practice will help you to prepare for the test. Your instructor will give you more guidance on this when you are ready. If you want to practise your driving with an accompanying driver, that person must be over the age of 21 and must have held a full licence for three years.
