Blue School of Motoring in Reading. Learn to Drive in Reading

Blue School of Motoring has been teaching students to learn to drive in Reading for several years.

 

Learning to drive in the Reading area is a great experience with a Blue School of Motoring instructor. The local area roads can be a demanding experience for the novice driver, especially with so much work being carried out in the Reading area. With new building work going on near the town centre, there are always plenty of road works to contend with, especially the Black Boy Roundabout, which is on the Reading practical test route. Learn to drive in Reading with the experts.

 

There are some challenging driving conditions in Reading, but if you have had some professional guidance from one of our Reading Driving Instructors you won’t have any trouble. The Black Boy roundabout is very straightforward if approached in the correct lane, and there are various other routes to take if there is a game playing at the Madejski Stadium.  The roads around Whitley can become very congested, and as this is a favourite place to be taken for your practical driving test, our Reading Driving Instructors can show you the most common routes, and also cover you’re manoeuvres at the same time.  The town centre driving is also covered, dealing with the Oracle, and if you like how to do some bay parking, and of course dual carriageway driving around the IDR(Inner Distribution Road). So learning to drive in Reading is so much easier with a Blue Driving Instructor.

Intensive Driving Couses

The Intensive Course The Facts

 

The fast track route, intensive driving courses are designed for people who are after the quickest and most cost effective way of learning to drive in the shortest time possible. You may have a deadline to meet, or your employer has requested you change roles within your company, maybe a promotion with company car. Whatever the reason, the intensive course can be designed to meet your requirements.

 

The course does provide a safe preparation for driving on today’s roads. Intensive driving courses have many advantages over the conventional method of learning to drive.  The normal route is to take a one or two hour driving lesson once a week over several months, this can, to some people prove to be mundane and boring, and some learner drivers tend to drop off and give up altogether, even after several months of learning.

 

Your instructor will use the latest up to date teaching methods and record all training sessions in writing, keeping a constant track of your ability and will discuss your progress during the course. The Drivers Record of Progress is used to record your driving lessons and it gives you the opportunity to study and discuss your own driving ability at the end of each lesson, with your Driving Instructor. Communication is the key to completing the course successfully, and you need to work as a team.

 

The intensive course is more demanding and will certainly keep you on your toes for the entire duration, with one hurdle after another to deal with. If you have already driven a car before you start the course, then you may need less hours than a beginner, this depends on when you last drove a vehicle. The key to driving at a good and consistent standard, will only be maintained if you are doing it on a regular basis.

 

For instance if you have failed a driving test several months or maybe even years ago, it will take you a little bit longer to remember the basics of MSPSL(Mirror Signal Position Speed Look), but once that routine has been re-introduced, you will soon be progressing.

 

If you are a beginner and are just starting on your road to becoming a driver, then you will need to cover the basics of how to use the controls of the car, then to move off and stop, after that how to turn left and right into a side road then you should progress onto emerging at junctions from minor to major. These are the very basics and should be covered within the first few hours.

 

After several more days you should now be at the partly trained stage. You will have covered all the basics of car control and you should now be progressing onto slightly more demanding road systems and junctions, such as roundabouts main roads and gradually moving off the beginner nursery routes into busier area’s. Your intensive driving instructor should now be ramping up the pace and also introducing you to the reverse manoeuvres, such as turn in the road, reverse parking, reverse into a side roads.  You could potentially be asked to carry out two of these four manoeuvres for you practical driving test, as well as an emergency stop, the latter if time permits.

 

After several more days of your intensive course your driving standard should now be at an independent stage. You should have reached this stage just before your practical test, a good time to peak. The road systems you should dealing with now are dual carriageways and complex junctions, higher speeds up to the national speed limit, which on these roads is potentially 70mph. You will be performing all types of driving independently such as route planning to and from different locations and dealing with all types of traffic conditions without the assistance of your instructor. 

 

A mock test should have been arranged by your instructor, prior to you taking the official practical test and this should have shown any weaknesses in your overall driving standard. If you’re mock test has not gone well or you have not reached an independent stage in your driving, then your instructor should suggest two options:

 

One: if time permits, plan for more training in order to concentrate on the areas that you are weak in.

 

Two: is to re-book your practical driving test for a later time, thus enabling more of option one.

 

 

The key to completing the course is to find a specialist organisation that can deliver an intensive course to you in the timescale that you need. Any good driving school would recommend an assessment lesson prior to commencing any course, which requires a large investment of money in a short period of time.  They should also have clear and easy to understand terms and conditions along with written code of conduct, if they don’t have either of these then go elsewhere.

 

 

How should I choose between?
First of all it might be helpful for you to know what is generally meant by these terms:

 

Normal - This is usually around 2 hours per week, in one lesson. The course usually lasting 2-4 months.

 

Semi-intensive – This means around 4-8 hours per week, with a course being completed in approximately 1-2 months.

 

Intensive - This is around 10-24 hours per week, with a course being completed in 1-3 weeks.

 

 

I hope this insight into the intensive driving course has been of assistance, and gives you a better idea of what you are heading into
