When Should I Start Learning To Drive?

When should you start learning to drive?

You can start learning to drive when you reach 17 years of age in the UK. However there are a large number of people who are opting to put that off until they are older for a number of different reasons. We would always recommend learning to drive as early as you can as it opens the door to a wide world of opportunities and potential freedom. 

At 4front driving school we understand that it does become harder to learn to drive the older you get because you have a lot less fear when you’re younger, which makes picking things up and learning from mistakes much easier when learning to drive. You are also more open to criticism at a younger age and will be more accepting to learn from mistakes.

However you are never to old to start. Be open minded, accept criticism, see it as constructive and develop a new skill that can be very rewarding. We are here to help you every step of the way whatever age you may be.

Do you want to learn to drive? What benefits will it bring to your life? How can we help you achieve you ambition or goal?

Moving Off Safely and Smoothly

Moving off is safely, smoothly and with confidence is a key element to remember, get right and perfect. Try not to get your clutch control confused with the technique used when changing gear.  It will get easier and stay put in your mind like riding a bike. Get The Car Ready To Go It’s very important that before you complete your all round observations and signal to pull away that you’re car is actually ready to go. If you don't get the car into first gear and remove the handbrake / Parking brake (keeping your right foot on the brake) then the car is not ready to go and will cause delay and the situation will inevitably change and may no longer be safe to pull out. Your preparation process: Put the key in the ignition and turn until you hear the engine start Push down on the clutch and put the car in first gear Raise the clutch to the point that the car growls, then push down a bit - about the thickness of a pound coin Take off your handbrake but use the foot brake if you don’t fe...

Forward Bay Park

How To Achieve A Perfect Forward Bay Park If you are asked to do a forward bay park as your manoeuvre during your driving test then you would be directed to a public car park (Reverse bays would take place at the test centre car park if it has one). At which point you would be asked to choose a space on the left or the right and park your car safely forwards into a bay. To do this safely and correctly - at 4front Driving School , we advise our students to keep the car positioned to the left if you are choosing a space on the right. And vice versa keep the car positioned to the right if you are choosing a space on the left. Depending on how busy the car park is will probably affect the decision you make regarding choice of space. You may also need to indicate early if the car park is busy so that you don't build up a backlog of drivers getting frustrated with you stopping. However, the more confident and competent you become with this manoeuvre, the quicker, s...
