Drivers License Made Easy For You
Before you begin studying this book, there is one important message we need to pass on…”Becoming an expert driver takes a lot of time, YOU WILL NEED PATIENCE”, but if you don’t have, not to worry we are selling it for free in this book…
In my research of people who have passed their learners, and those who want to start learning how to drive a car. I have come upon an obstacle that even happened to me. I thought by only taking 5 driving lessons I will then be an expert in driving a car and maybe I can have my drivers licence in the next 5 months!
I’m sorry to burst your bubble but it can be impossible to get your drivers immediately after you pass your learners. There can be too many difficulties in the process, you need to get a good driving school and a good driving instructor. With the current problems that the Licencing Department is experiencing, like the call centres not being able to accommodate all those who need to book for their drivers licences tests. It might take longer than you thought, and there is the difficulty of learning how to drive a car, which may not come as simple as other road users make it to be…
Reality About You Learning How to Drive
After passing your learners licence you feel you can drive, this is how I felt. But only to find out I know nothing about driving. Driving is not as easy as you make it out to be, and it can be a failure to both men and women, this takes us to the old debate about whether men are better drivers than women.
Men and women take a different approach towards learning how to drive, and each approach taken leads to whether you will get your drivers licence on the first attempt second…third…fourth…. or even the fifth time. Yes even the fifth time!
You probably think its joke, its not! 57% of the people who go
for their drivers licence for the first time fail.
I had I chat with my driving instructor about men and women learning to drive, this is what he had to say…
Men tend to have the attitude of “I know” towards a male or female instructor. They are some how afraid of showing their weaknesses about driving. Please take note this may not be all men, but its 55% of most men between the age of 25 and 50.
Men of the age of 17 and 23 have not yet developed that attitude, because they are still young and eager to learn more. Whether it’s a female or male driving instructor, it wouldn’t matter to them, because they really want to learn to drive.
Women on the other hand tend to have the attitude of “Never drove a car before, so I don’t know anything” and of course not all of them. This attitude seems to be working for them, but the “I don’t know” attitudes kills them because after 5 or 9 lessons they rush straight to book for a licence test and only find out in the yard test that they really don’t know! (I hope I don’t sound like a women supporter).
But again the attitude of “I don’t know anything about a car” can help most women in learning how to drive a car. Because then the instructor is free to give any good driving instructions, with full confidence that the women will carry them out as they are.
At some point its better to have a young learner and an older driving instructor, because during the lessons you keep in mind that this is an old person. He definitely knows what he is talking about, so I must do everything he says, visa versa.
One thing that never worked for driving instructors is to have learners who are the same age as them. It turns to create problems in the future lessons. For example, when I learned how to drive, they gave me a 24-year-old driving instructor and I was 21 years old. I never trusted a thing he said! Instead, I tried and made up what I thought was the right driving rule throughout our driving lessons.
Lets not forget those who already know how to drive, but only need the papers to prove that they can drive…The following is for them.
This is the kind of situation that South Africa is experiencing at a higher rate. Not that this people need to learn how to drive, I mean the person has been driving his dad’s car since he was 16 and now that he is 20 years, he wants to apply for a drivers licence. For those who are like that, this book will help you to prepare of what to expect on the yard test and road test.
Please mind me, I’m not dragging down your experience of 4 years driving. But if you are doing code 8 which is now code 2, you will need at least to familiarise yourself with the yard testing situations. And for that you might need a driving instructor, so it might help to book your self to a driving school for at least 5 lessons. This is to just get an experts view of how are your driving skills if you were to do the yard test.
My experience of taking a drivers test for the first time…
For my first drivers licence test I went to Rooderpoort, and while sitting at the waiting room, there was also a lady who was testing. We started communicate, she tolled me that she had been driving for about a year now, and she is only going to test today. Now I looked at her and examined myself and already saw a big distance of driving experience between her and me. Here I was I’ve gone to 19 driving lessons, which were only done on Saturdays. I never practised anywhere else but at the driving school, for an hour or 2. I believe you now know why I never made it on my first time hey!
Experience in driving plays a big role on the day of testing; you need to have been involved in different types of traffic situations.
