Take A Positive Approach, Deterination and Focused Approach Towards Learning

This blog post was developed by 4front Driving School to help students take a positive, determined and focused approach towards their learning and driving so they give themselves the opportunity to succeed and achieve their goals. The facts can be presented in a simple way - the harder you work for something that you desire such as passing your Driving Test, the greater you’ll feel when you achieve it. Stay focussed and plan well ahead of the consequences before you turn your decisions into actions. You will develop your own strategies to suit different senarios that you should try to remember, adapt and develop to suit the situation if you ever face them again. Learning to drive involves commitment, time, patience, and determination, so give it everything you have got and don't be despondent by mistakes. Mistakes are part of learning and give you something to work on. When learning to drive it is important to reflect back on mistakes you make. Mistakes are normal and as we just sa

Speed Limits

Speed Limits At 4front Driving School we encourage our students to be observant towards speed limit signs and look out for the change of speed which is more likely to be placed at the junction to a new road, but can also appear at points on a long carriageway too. National Speed Limit This sign indicates that the national speed limit applies, which is for cars 60mph on a single carriageway or 70mph on a dual carriageway or motorway. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the road is safe to do 60mph or 70mph all the times – there may be sharp bends and other challenging sections, especially on a single carriageway road. Therefore you as a driver have a responsibility to judge the safest speed to suit the road and the driving conditions.  To begin with when learning to drive we say to our learners to drive at a speed they feel comfortable with. Once you have built up your confidence you can aim towards achieving a safe speed to drive at. Remember it can also be dangerous driving to slow.

Personal Progress Log

My personal progress log Why not create a personal log that you can update each driving lesson that reflects on what went well, what didn't go so well and what you may need to work on. This can help you progress and achieve your goals and give you personal targets to work towards. What went well? Praise yourself for what you have achieved that lesson and how far you have come. Look back on what you have learnt so far and what new challenges and situations you have faced. Have you achieved your goal from last lesson? What didn't go so well? What didnt go so well that you may need to work on. Why didn't it go to plan and what would you do differently if you were to face that same situation again? What do you need to work on next time? Give yourself a goal for next lesson. Make it your target and remember to reflect back on it before your lesson.

Sat Nav In Your Driving Test

Sat Nav In Your Driving Test This part of the test is your independent driving part and it’ll last around 20 minutes - roughly half of the test. Following directions from a sat nav During the independent driving part of the test, most candidates will be asked to follow directions from a sat nav. The examiner will provide the sat nav (a TomTom Start 52) and set it up. You won’t need to set the route - the examiner will do this for you. So, it doesn’t matter what make or model of sat nav you practise with. You can’t follow directions from your own sat nav during the test - you have to use the one supplied by the examiner. You’ll be able to ask the examiner for confirmation of where you’re going if you’re not sure. It won’t matter if you go the wrong way unless you nake a fault while doing it. One in 5 driving tests won’t use a sat nav. You’ll need to follow traffic signs instead. If you are interested in learning to drive then please call Simon at 4front Driving School on 07905657229 Or
