Our Aims & Objectives @ 4front Driving School

At 4front Driving School we understand that each individual will learn in their own individual way and at their own speed. You may be someone who likes to be given time to reflect on your learning, so we provide opportunities and resources to help you achieve this such as our blog, teaching style and focus on client centred learning.

 We do not want you to feel pressured to move on to the next step if you do not feel ready. We want to create agreed targets with you that we set with you each lesson so that you progress at your own pace. 

 Every individual has their own learning style and therefore we will always try and adapt our teaching approach to suit your requirements, for example you may be someone who likes to read up on the activity before hand so that you come to your lessons prepared. Or you may be the kinesthetic type who likes to try out different methods to find the technique to suit the task that works for you.

 Our client-centred learning is an approach to learning that takes into account how you - the learner prefers to learn. 
When people learn in this way they are more likely to retain information and skills.

 Our students are also encouraged to take responsibility for their learning at an early stage. You may want to keep a self reflection journal to highlight what went well, what didn't go so well and what you want to work on next time.

 Self reflection also works well in your theory revision. We encourage our students to keep a log of questions they got wrong in their practice tests and keep a log of them with the correct answers. We encourage post-it notes used in revision books so that you can read up on areas that you may not be fully familiar with.

 At the end of the day you need to look at what type of learner you are and this will help us develop a strategy to teach you to your full potential.

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...

crossings

Types of pedestrian crossings When learning to drive a focus of a lesson can be based around pedestrian crossings. During your driving test, the examiner will be looking at how you deal with or react to pedestrian crossings. They want to make sure that you are planning ahead, showing awareness and responding to them them in the safest possible way.  Pedestrian crossings get put into two main categories – uncontrolled and traffic light controlled. For all crossings: -In queuing traffic, you should keep the crossing clear. On approach to a crossing there will be white zigzag lines on both sides of the road to highlight there is a pedestrian crossing ahead – these also prevent people parking at any time and is a place you make no attempt to overtake. You should take extra care where the view of either side of the crossing is blocked by queuing traffic or incorrectly parked vehicles. Pedestrians may be crossing between stationary vehicles. Allow pedestrians plenty of time to cross and ...
