Learning to drive can be one of the most rewarding things you can accomplish in your life, but that does not mean it is not a little daunting as well. Take into account the fact that average person spends around 1200 on driving lessons even before they get to own a car, and the impetus to learn to drive does dwindle somewhat. Yes, there is the independence, the freedom and the ability to apply for almost any job (Now that you can also apply for the ones requiring a driver's license), but then there is also the distinctly unhealthy looking bank account, and possibly even no car with which to test out your new-found skills. Luckily, dual control car hire may be able to provide learner drivers with the help they need to get out on the road, without breaking the bank.
Dual control courtesy cars can be supplied for use by learner drivers to use for additional lessons where a friend or a relative can act as an instructor, provided they are over the age of twenty three and have held a driving license for three years. Of course, there are plenty of arguments as to why learner drivers should avoid getting behind the wheel most of them fairly valid, considering various accounts of the lessons causing stress, in-car fighting and the learner driver eventually being shunted over to the passenger seat. Of course, it is best left at the discretion of the student who is going to act as teacher, but if you are sure that your friend, or mum, or uncle or anyone will be patient enough to support you throughout your supplementary lessons, then why not hire driving instructor cars to help you on your journey to success?
Dual control courtesy cars work in much the same way as the dual control cars used by qualified instructors. In basic terms, the instructor has control of the clutch and the brake, giving the learner driver added security while they are in the car and freeing the instructor up to be able to direct the learner driver as necessary.
With dual control car hire also comes added flexibility, so you are able to break lessons up over the course of the week to fit around other obligations, at a time which suits you. This also gives you more time for things like reviewing driving theory, testing yourself on road signs, and other aspects of driving in order to give yourself adequate preparation in good time for the lesson.
Dual control car hire can be made available by some driving schools, reducing the overall cost of lessons by about 15 a week which is a lot of money, particularly if you are trying to save for a new car of your own. And let's face it; money is a contentious issue at the moment for everyone, so if there is a cheaper way to learn to drive while remaining safe on the road, then why not hire driving courtesy cars to help you save that little extra money?
