subject: Teaching Responsible Driving Habits
[print this page] Driving schools will give a new driver a definite advantage over other drivers on the road. As he learns new techniques, he will become a secure, safe driver. He won't have to learn how to drive the hard way, and it can save him from having a score of bad memories.
You learn much more than just the basics in a driving school. You will finish with confidence and the knowledge of what to do when you drive at night, on the freeway or under difficult driving conditions. Driving schools have something that every type of driver can learn.
Just like any other kind of service you plan to use, you need to check out different schools and see what they have to offer and then choose the one that is the best. Ask about their student teacher ratio, whether or not they are state approved, if they use audio visual equipment in their classrooms and if they have personalized programs for their students.
The ideal type of school will require their new drivers to practice skills they've learned on audio visual equipment. This helps them to put these skills into practice and learn them well before they ever actually drive a vehicle. They should, also, prepare you to take the written driver's test when you go to get your license.
A good driving school instructor will teach his students how to check their vehicle and make sure it is safe before they get in the car. Lights are first. Turn them on, and make sure all of them are working. Clean the lights with a soft wet cloth in case you have some dead bugs or mud on the lenses.
Then check the blinkers in the front and in the back. Make sure the tires are inflated like they should be and that there is no fluid leaking from beneath the car. Get in the car and adjust your seat and mirrors before starting the vehicle.
The purpose and goal of driving schools is to make you have a pleasant experience behind the wheel. Driving safely and driving responsibly saves you money and can save your life and the lives of others. When you learn to drive you are responsible for the safety of not just yourself and passengers but also other road users. Remember that you are always learning even when you have passed your driving test you are still learning and gaining experience.
