Autumn Driving for new drivers

Autumn driving

it’s trickier than you think

Autumn is the most dangerous time of year to be on the roads – and especially for new drivers, who have never experienced the extreme conditions they will encounter.

Everyone knows about the dangers of snow and ice, and the care you need to take. But few people give any thought to the autumn, when low sun, dark evenings, heavy rain, strong winds, dead leaves and poor visibility can all add up to a potential nightmare for inexperienced motorists.

Steve Garrod, group manager of the Driving Instructors Association (DIA), has drawn up a list of the main problems encountered on the roads in the autumn.

Low sun This time of year is particularly bad for being dazzled by low sun, so it makes sense to ensure that your windscreen is spotless, inside and out. If you don’t clean it regularly, a film builds up on the inside surface which can turn opaque in strong sun. And scratches, chips and scuffs on the outside (older cars often have their screens scoured by windscreen wipers) will exaggerate the dazzle effect.

Puddles and lying water With a combination of heavy rain and leaves blocking drains, large sections of road surface are often covered by water, some of it surprisingly deep. And it’s easy to lose control of your car if you drive into deep water too quickly. Apparently ordinary puddles often disguise deep potholes, so they should be avoided too, if possible.

Leaves on the road Leaves cause two main problems, apart from blocking drains.
They often cover road markings, which is a particular problem at junctions, where they also make braking more hazardous. And fallen leaves make any wet roads even more slippery than usual.

Wind On open roads, and particularly on bridges and motorways, high-sided vehicles not only swerve from side to side, but can actually topple over. And if you overtake one, having been sheltered while overtaking, when you get past the vehicle a strong wind will actually force you towards the centre of the road. In towns, wheelie bins, dustbin lids and other debris can appear from nowhere and cause you to swerve to avoid them.

Verges When you’re driving out of town and meet a driver coming towards you on a narrow road, verges will be soft. If you drive on to one your car will sink in, often disastrously.

“All in all, new drivers who have perhaps been driving since the spring need to be far more aware of road conditions and their surroundings in the autumn than they can possibly realise,” says Steve Garrod. “You need to be more observant, more cautious, and you need to take account of the changing road conditions and drive accordingly.

“It’s common sense for most people, but skill levels vary and a complete novice might feel far more comfortable with a couple of hours’ extra tuition under their belt. Go out in the dark, in the rain, in the wind. It’s surprising how much more competent drivers can become with even a small amount of season-specific training.”

How to pass your driving test in Buckingham.

First thing you need to do is to get a ADI (driving instructor) to assess your standard of driving.  They will give you an impartial assessment with a good idea of what your week points are and how to improve them.  They should also give you an idea of how many training hours you will need.
You might be surprised to find that you don't need many hours to practice.
Follow the link to my website to see what my pupils are saying on the testimonials page www.travis-drive.co.uk

What you don't want to do is turn up at the driving test centre unprepared for your driving test in your own car.  That would be like giving your money away(all £62 of it).

You could phone up an instructor to ask for advise( advise is free) on what they think is best that would suit you.

Good luck

Your first driving lesson in Milton Keynes

Your first driving lesson in Milton Keynes.

Your first driving lesson in Milton Keynes.

All good instructors will cover a similar pattern on the first lesson, with a few variations depending on your location and if you have never driven a car before.

1. You will be given an eye sight test first. 

2.  Your driving licence will be checked so bring it along.

3. You will be driven to a quiet location to start your lesson.

4. At this point you are in the drivers seat and the instructor will cover the cockpit drill. The cockpit drill is how to set up the car to fit you, example is moving the seat and mirrors etc.

5. After the cockpit drill is completed you will work on control of the foot pedals, clutch control (how to find the biting point), how to set the gas pedal.

6. The final part of your driving lesson will be working on moving away from the road under control and safely, then pulling over back in to the side of the road safely.
