Driving Test Appointment 2

6. Novice Drivers Unprepared---Learner Drivers are to a bigger degree not taking sufficient Driving Lessons. The result of this is a high first time failure rate. Lack of practice, in addition to Lessons is also contributing to persons having to re- set the Test.


7. Driving Test standards and requirements unknown---The changes due to latest Legislation will not always be aware of unless the person takes the hassle to enroll with a professional Driving School. Recently introduced on February 14th 2005 are the Technical checks which oblige a person to know their way around under the Bonnet (hood).


8. Cancellations ---Obviously there will be authentic reasons for very last minute cancellations such as family problems, health problems and so on but there are too many cancellations from pupils who are chickening out at the last moment .A recent person told me that her car had been stolen twice and of course hiring a Driving School car for a Test at the last moment is not an advisable course of action. Getting used to unfamiliar car is not something that you can do in just a few minutes.


9. Overconfidence---It is a myth that the longer you are driving the better you become. If a learner Driver hasn’t been trained the basics and some more difficult skills at the start of their driving career they will very quickly pick up poor techniques and habits which will be difficult to rectify at short notice.


10. Learning to Drive with Mommy, Daddy, Boyfriend, Girlfriend.--- Many Adult Drivers have never taken a Driving Test, particularly those over sixty years of age and are not prepared to teach their children. In fact a high proportion of Adult Drivers exhibit such disregard for the basic Rules of the Road that they should not be allowed to be behind the wheel themselves, much less try to educate their kids.
