Refresher Driving Lessons Explained
What are Refresher Driving Lessons?
Refresher driving lessons are an option for taking more driving lessons to improve your driving skills and gain confidence out on the road. There are several reasons why you might wish to take refresher driving lessons, including:
- You’ve recently started driving again after several years without access to a car, so are looking to get back in the drivers seat
- You’re a new driver but lack confidence on the road, so you need further practice and assurance before going it solo
- maybe you have had an accident while driving and want to regain your confidence
- Motorway or night-time driving is something you have been avoiding because you lack confidence
- You’ve been prosecuted for speeding or dangerous driving by the police, who have recommended you take a refresher course to relearn road safety
How Many Refresher Driving Lessons Should You Take?
I would suggest that the number of refresher driving lessons you need will depend on what you’re hoping to gain from them. For example, if you just want a re-introduction to the basics of driving, one or two lessons may work for you. If however, you’re looking to build skills and experience, say in motorway driving, you may need more lessons depending on your skill level which can be assessed in your first refresher lesson.
As there is no practical test at the end of it, it’s down to you how many lessons you take, not your instructor. However I will work around your requirements and work with you to establish the best plan.
What is Included in Refresher Driving Lessons?
Refresher driving lessons are similar to normal lessons, without the pressure of a practical test at the end! However, I will be there for you as a coach to offer you help and advice when you need it. After all, you’ve passed your test, so the rest is just gaining experience and confidence.
Depending on your goals we can cover anything you feel you need more experience in, including:
- Motorway driving
- Parking (maybe parallel parking makes you nervous)
- Dealing with confusing junctions
- Driving at night
- Building confidence
- Becoming more alert and speed aware
Who Should Take Refresher Driving Lessons?
Whether you’ve had a driving licence for 10 months or 10 years, it doesn’t matter. Drivers of all ages and skill levels can benefit from refresher lessons. If you feel nervous about driving and want to build your confidence, or you’re tired of avoiding motorways and want to gain this vital motoring skill – a refresher driving lesson could help get you there. you have landed on this page so maybe this is for you, just get in touch.
