One can be taught to drive at an early age and if you have access to off road facilities age is not a barrier. To learn to drive on public roads however you need to be 16 years old for motorcycles or 17 for a car. 2Pass.eu Driving School have qualified driving instructors that can instruct you.

So what does it take to become a safe driver? First you need to have a good understanding of the theory of driving and of the highway code, road signs, road markings etc. Add to this knowledge of the Driving Syllabus plus the Driving Skills you need to acquire and some idea of the Show Me Tell Me questions that get asked at the beginning of a driving test. This information is peppered throughout this article.

During 2008 and continuing into 2009, the government will be looking at ways to improve the standards of new drivers.

There are many measures under consideration but a fundamental one is trying to ensure that potential new drivers receive a high standard of tuition.

Currently there is every chance that when you choose a driving instructor, the driving school you choose may provide you with a trainee instructor. This is not something that we recommend!

According to the website – http://www.learnerdriver.co.uk/ – very few trainee instructors actually qualify as Driving Instructors and yet while they are training, they could be taking your money. Apparently only 18% of trainee instructors pass all of the examinations required to become fully qualified.

2Pass.eu Driving school driving instructors are all fully qualified. Driving Instructors associated with 2Pass.eu Driving School have been successful in passing all of the qualifying tests and are registered with the Driving Standards Agency. We are all experts in the field of driving instruction!

In the UK, most people when they learn to drive, opt for learning in a maunual car. In the United states and in many other countries around the world this is not the case. In fact, manual or ‘stick shift’ as it is known, is the minority choice.

If you are thinking of learning to drive an automatic car it is important to realise that there are different types of automatics and they have different characteristics but one things is common. Automatics do not have clutches so you only need use one foot when driving.

Driving Skill:- Can you reverse left into a limited opening remaining reasonably close to the kerb, observing all around you? One of the manoeuvres you could be asked to perform is reversing into a side road. It needs to be done in a controlled manner whilst ensuring observation all around you .

Syllabus element:- Reversing – When you are reversing you will need to control your vehicles speed. Steer a course reasonably close to the kerb. Remember that the front of your vehicle will swing out as you turn a corner. Throughout all of this, maintain effective observation of the area around you and act sensibly and safely on what you see.

Avoid hitting or mounting the kerb, or steering too wide.

Show Me Tell Me Question:- Tell me where you would find the information for the recommended tyre pressures for this car and how tyre pressures should be checked. Answer – Information will be found using the car manufacturer?s manual. Check the tyre pressures by using a reliable pressure gauge when the tyres are cold. Don?t forget the spare and remember to refit the valve caps.

When learning to drive or ride a motorcycle it is important that you practise safe driving skills, are aware of your responsibilities and knowledgeable of the theory.

Most drivers in the UK drive manual cars. It has been this way ever since the motor car was invented. In other parts of the world more people drive automatic cars. Although the process is slow, more UK drivers are opting for automatics.

When one is going to learn to drive an automatic you will find learning that much easier than learning in a manual car. The reason for this is that all automatics, whilst not all being exactly the same in their characteristics, have no clutch pedal. You only require one foot to control the foot pedals being the accelerator and brake.

Driving Skill:- Do you drive with courtesy and consideration for other road users, including pedestrians? In order to be a good safe driver you need to be considerate of ALL road users!

Syllabus element:- Bay Parking – you must demonstrate effective all round observation and show consideration to other road users when parking your vehicle.

Control your vehicle making proper use of clutch (if fitted), accelerator, brakes and steering. Allow for clearance as your vehicle is turning, the front will swing out to the left or right depending on the direction of travel.

Keep a special look out for cyclists and pedestrians who may pass close to the front of your vehicle.

Show Me Tell Me Question:- Tell me how you would check that the brakes are working before starting a journey. Answer – As you move off check the brakes. They should not feel spongy and the car should not pull to one side.

You need to be 17 to start learning to drive and have a valid provisional licence before you take your first driving lessons.

What do you expect from a driving school? With 2Pass.eu Driving School our aim is the complete package. Motorcycle training from the age of 16, automatic and manual car training from 17.

This article contains elements of the process involved when learning to drive.

To start with there is the Theory and Hazard Perception Training. This is followed by instruction in driving using a Driving Syllabus. As you learn to drive you will acquire Driving Skills so essential in order to be a safe driver. Finally you learn about your vehicle via the Show Me Tell Me questions, two of which are asked at the start of a driving test.

During 2008 and continuing into 2009, the government will be looking at ways to improve the standards of new drivers.

There are many measures under consideration but a fundamental one is trying to ensure that potential new drivers receive a high standard of tuition.

Currently there is every chance that when you choose a driving instructor, the driving school you choose may provide you with a trainee instructor. This is not something that we recommend!

Cars have been around for a very long time and technology never stops developing easier ways in which the car performs many functions such as road holding, braking etc. You would think then that most people would choose the easiest form of driving, automatic cars, but in the UK this is just not so. In America however most people do drive automatics.

Not all automatics perform the same. As with most things, there are different types of automatic cars. There is however one feature thing that all automatics lack and that is the clutch. When learning in an automatic car you will only need one foot to control the brake and the accelerator.

Syllabus element:- Pedestrian Crossings – You should be able to recognise the different types of pedestrian crossing and show courtesy and consideration towards pedestrians.

At all crossings you should slow down and stop if there is anyone on the crossing. At zebra crossings you should slow down and be prepared to stop if there is anyone waiting to cross.

Give way to pedestrians on a Pelican Crossing when the amber light is flashing.

Show Me Tell Me Question :- Open the bonnet, identify where the brake fluid reservoir is and tell me how you would check that you have a safe level of hydraulic brake fluid.

The first step to learning to drive is to obtain a provisional licence. You can do this from the age of 16, but you will only be able to ride a motorcycle. From 17 you can start to learn in a car.

The process of learning to drive is enhanced when one is taught via a structured process. Throughout this article are extracts from the process which includes Theory Training, Driving Syllabus, some of the Driving skills you need to possess and samples from the Show Me Tell Me questions, two of which you will get asked at the beginning of a driving test.

Driving Instruction is not something that everyone can do. In fact statistics show that only very few people who set out to qualify as a driving instructor, actually succeed. The website – http://www.learnerdriver.co.uk/ – claims that only 18% of trainee driving instructors go on to qualify and become registered with the Driving Standards Agency as Approved Driving Instructors.

The government is committed to improving road safety and reducing the number of accidents and fatalities in Great Britain. Although there are many measures to achieve this, one is to tighten up existing legislation as it relates to learning to drive.

2Pass.eu Driving School is playing its part in trying to ensure that in this area you will receive first class training from us. You see, all driving instructors that are associates of 2Pass.eu Driving School have passed all of the qualifying examinations. We are all experts in what we do and that is to guide you to success in your driving test.

One way you can make an informed decision on which driving instructor to choose is to view our 2Pass.eu Driving School website which will go live early in 2009. This area will be covered and you will be able to view the profiles of all driving instructors working here.

In America most people drive automatic cars. They refer to manual cars as ‘stick shift’ the stick being the gear lever. In this country (United Kingdom) the position is very different with the vast majority preferring to drive a car that has a clutch.

Driving Skill:- Can you reverse park either on the road or in a car park whilst safely observing all around you? There are two parking manoeuvres. You need to be able to reverse park into a parking bay. The other parking exercise is known as a ‘parallel park’ where you reverse park on the road.

Syllabus Element:- Stopping – Any change of speed or direction requires that you observe the MSM routine. M stands for Mirror or mirrors, S stands for signal if required, the second M stands for the Manouevre you are to carry out. So if for example you are required to pull over you should check your interior and left mirrors, signal left, move to the left side of the road and brake to a smooth halt.

Show Me Tell Me Question:- Show me how you would check that the horn is working (off road only). Answer – Press the horn and listen (turn on ignition if necessary).

What do you expect from a driving school? With 2Pass.eu Driving School our aim is the complete package. Motorcycle training from the age of 16, automatic and manual car training from 17.

There is a lot to learn when you set out to obtain a driving licence. What is most important is that you realise that you have a responsibiltity when in control of a vehicle that is powerful and can cause injury and death if handled incorrectly. Within the text of this post are sections taken from The Driving Syllabus, The Theory Test, Driving Skills and Show Me Tell Me questions.

A feature that attracts many people to learning in an automatic is the fact that they do not have a clutch pedal. This fact alone is common to all automatics and it means that you only need one foot for the pedals. This is convenient for people with certain disabilities. Automatics however do have different features and these will be covered elsewhere.

Driving Skill:- Do you drive with courtesy and consideration for other road users, including pedestrians? In order to be a good safe driver you need to be considerate of ALL road users!

Syllabus element:- Bay Parking – you must demonstrate effective all round observation and show consideration to other road users when parking your vehicle.

Keep a special look out for cyclists and pedestrians who may pass close to the front of your vehicle.

Apply for a provisional licence up to three months before your 17th birthday, and you could book your first driving lesson for the big day!

Learning to drive appears to many to be quite complex but in fact once you understand what is required of a good driver, learning what you need to becomes easier. To help understand what you need to know, I have inserted into this document, elements taken from the Driving Syllabus, The Theory Test, Driving skills and Show Me Tell Me questions.

Driving Instruction and 2Pass.eu Driving School is about Value! Our aim is to provide affordable Driving Instruction from some of the most experienced driving instructors in the United Kingdom.

There is a lot to learn when you start training to be a driver so it is natural that you should want to learn from the best. Our 2Pass.eu Driving School Driving Instructors are the best. Well that is our opinion! You see, all our driving instructors have trained hard in order to be Approved Driving Instructors registered by the Driving Standards Agency.

If you look at the windscreen of a Driving Instructor’s car, close to the tax disc you will see either a Red Triangular Licence or a Green Octagonal Licence. The Red Triangle denotes a trainee. Most trainees never qualify!

All our driving instructors are Green Badge holders, with several years of experience in driving and imparting their knowledge. It is important from a financial viewpoint that you should learn from one who has considerable experience. Driving lessons are quite expensive but an experienced instructor is likely to teach you in fewer lessons than one who is less experienced. It’s all about Value!

According to http://www.learnerdriver.co.uk/ only 18 trainees out of every 100, are successful in qualifying in becoming an Approved Driving Instructor, registered with the Driving Standards Agency. Learning with a trainee may end up costing you more! The reasons are many but one important one is that your trainee instructor may lose his trainee licence before you reach driving test standard leaving you looking for a replacement. This will not happen when you learn with a fully qualified 2Pass.eu Driving Instructor.

All things are not created equal – this is quite a common saying that also applies to automatic cars. Not all automatic cars are the same in the manner in which you drive them. This said there is one common feature, or to be more accurate, the absence of a common feature – the clutch – automatics do not have a clutch pedal.

Driving Skill:- Unless you drive an automatic, are gears smoothly and correctly selected? Is your braking smooth and progressive? Do you use acceleration sense? There is nothing worse than a driver pulling away with tyres screaming, gears crashing as they are changed and worse still, hard braking!

Syllabus element:- Parallel Park – you must demonstrate effective all round observation and show consideration to other road users when parking your vehicle.

Control your vehicle making proper use of clutch (if fitted), accelerator, brakes and steering. Allow for clearance as your vehicle is turning, the front will swing out to the right.

Keep a special look out for cyclists and pedestrians who may pass close to the rear of your vehicle.

There is a lot to learn when one trains to become a driving instructor. Firstly, a driving instructor needs to pass a thorough examination of knowledge of theory. A test comprising of 100 questions.

Next, a driving instructor must pass a driving test of a far higher standard than a standard driving test.

The third part, and normally the part that most trainee driving instructors are incapable of passing, is the examination of ones ability to instruct. In order to pass the part three examination, a trainee driving instructor needs to be a fluent communicator of the information needed to impart knowledge.

2Pass.eu Driving School driving instructors and driving instructors associated with 2Pass.eu Driving School are all very experienced and have passed all of the qualifying examinations. When you select a 2Pass.eu Driving School driving instructor you can be sure that you have chosen wisely.

Of course the proof will be when he or she guides you to driving test success!
