Top Tips after you have passed the driving test.
1 Remember when you were learning and the other drivers did not signal on roundabouts and every time you said "I would of gone then, if they only signalled." Do not forget to Mirrors then signal your intentions.
2 The DSA has passed you because you have reached the standard. Keep doing what you have been taught.
3 When you first go out in your own car for the first couple of times keep it to short and simple drives. It will feel strange, your instructor not being next to you.
4 Resist being a taxi for your friends for the first month until you are more confident to have friends in the car.
5 Remember you passed because you can drive to a good standard and safe. Don't try and copy other drivers.
6 At the end of each drive take a moment to reflect on your driving. Be honest with yourself. Was it good, did you take any silly risks. Try to improve.
7 If you are confused about a roundabout or a new road layout. Then ask for advise. Either post a question on my page or text me or ask a parent. You are not alone.
8 It took me about two years after I passed my driving test to fully understand a lot of different roads. So don't consider yourself the leading expert after one week.
9 When parking in a car park for the first time go to the quiet area to park until you are more confident.
10 Don't be rushed into making choices, remember keep it simple and do it early.
11 Remember you are responsible for who is in your car. If they have not got the seat belt on, that you are also liable.
12 It has cost a lot of time and money to pass the driving test. As a new driver if you get 6 points or more in the first two years of driving you will revert back to a learner driver and have to retake the driving test again.
