The time is coming when your son or daughter reaches their 17th birthday. Driving lessons are one of the obvious things that the son or daughter would like to start and you will be thinking that's a great idea. Then you check out the local driving instructors in your area and you also decide to help your child with some private driving lessons in your own car.
This short video from my YouTube channel is an introduction into what mum or dad need to be thinking about.
Tudor Cobalas nearly crashed his car while driving and texting on his phone.
It was this near-death experience that inspired him to turn the smartphone from a weapon of mass distraction into a tool for safer driving.
Mr Cobalas, 30, from Romania, developed SafeDrive, an app that rewards drivers for ignoring their phones while driving.
Once a driver exceeds 6mph (10kmh), the app launches a "Release" button on the screen, effectively locking the phone. Driving without checking the phone generates points that can be converted into shopping discounts in the SafeDrive Marketplace.
Pressing the Release button while driving wipes out the points earned during that journey.
It's a simple idea that has attracted nearly 100,000 users globally and 30 commercial partners, from insurance companies to retailers.
Mr Cobalas has also developed an app, Milez, aimed at teenage drivers.
How to impress your driving test examiner.
Every pupil who is about to take the driving test wants to impress the driving test examiner and pass the driving test. But nerves and other factors play there part and lots of pupils come back stressed and upset because the driving test did not go to plan.
So if we assume that you(the pupil) has taken driving lessons with a driving instructor and you have both planned the driving test date to coincide with you finishing all your lessons and you have reached the standard to take your driving test. What else can you do?
1. Get advise off your driving instructor on how to prepare for your driving test dayhttps://youtu.be/dUOGaJtcJbk
2. Ask how you can cope with the driving test nerves https://youtu.be/liExsNrsF_o
3. Be ready while waiting in the driving test centre
When the driving test examiner comes into the waiting room and calls out your name, be ready, be confident and smile, then pass them your driving licence.
Recently went of the Train the trainer eco-driving course. I found the course very interesting and what I learned I have started to pass it onto my pupils who have said it is benefiting them.
The first part of the day is working in the classroom and the second part of the day is practical driving. This is the course information, if you are interested just send them a e mail asking for information on course dates. I do know that they have started to advertise new dates in 2017.
