Learning to drive in St Andrews or considering doing so?

The 2Pass.eu Driving School has ambitions to provide a range of services. In our pilot area of Dundee we already provide training in manual and automatic cars plus motorcycle training.

Ever wanted to book a driving lesson online? Possibly late in the evening at a time that is convenient to you. Maybe even pay by credit card in order to spread the cost of driving lessons over a period.

In the past it has not been possible to book a driving lesson online, in the evening or at weekends. 2Pass.eu Driving School intends to change this. Our 2Pass.eu Driving School website, which will be launched early in 2009 will change the way many people book their driving lessons.

Not only will it be possible to book driving lessons online, you will also be able to view the profiles of 2Pass.eu associated driving instructors. In much the same way that you can view profiles on social bookmarking websites like Bebo, Qassia, Direct Matches etc, so too will you be able to view our driving instructor's profiles.

A good driver needs to possess many things which can be broken down into a few categories. Knowledge of Theory, an understanding of the Driving Skills you need to acquire, and appreciation of the Driving Syllabus and ability to carry out all that these require. Included in this article are random extracts from the Theory Test, Show Me Tell Me questions, Driving Syllabus and Driving Skills.

Syllabus element:- Use Of Speed - You should make safe, reasonable progress along the road bearing in mind road, traffic and weather conditions and the road signs and speed limits. Make sure you can stop safely well within the distance you can see to be clear. Do not speed! Remember that as a new driver your licence will be revoked if you accrue six or more penalty points during the first two years after passing your driving test. In the event of you losing your licence you will have to retake both your theory and your practical test.

RANDOM THEORY QUESTION

What is the Hazard Perception Test? The Hazard Perception Test (HPT) became part of the Theory Test in 2002, it makes up the second half of your theory test and involves watching a series of video clips and clicking the mouse when a hazard is identified.

There is a lot to learn when one trains to become a driving instructor. Firstly, a driving instructor needs to pass a thorough examination of knowledge of theory. A test comprising of 100 questions.

Next, a driving instructor must pass a driving test of a far higher standard than a standard driving test.

The third part, and normally the part that most trainee driving instructors are incapable of passing, is the examination of ones ability to instruct. In order to pass the part three examination, a trainee driving instructor needs to be a fluent communicator of the information needed to impart knowledge.

2Pass.eu Driving School driving instructors and driving instructors associated with 2Pass.eu Driving School are all very experienced and have passed all of the qualifying examinations. When you select a 2Pass.eu Driving School driving instructor you can be sure that you have chosen wisely.

Of course the proof will be when he or she guides you to driving test success!

Driving Skill:- Do you always travel at a speed at which you can stop within the distance you can see to be clear? Knowing your stopping ability is so important if you want to be a safe driver. Braking differs from one vehicle to another so ensure you know your capabilities.

Learning to drive comprises many skills. Your 2Pass.eu Driving School driving instructor will teach you all about Road Positioning, Hesitancy and Making Progress.

Where you should position to deal with either a left or right bend.
Why it is so important to exercise 'Lane Discipline'.
What is meant by 'Hesitancy'.
How you can avoid 'Hesitancy'.
What things determine the maximum safe speed you can drive at.
What the danger is of driving too slowly for the road and traffic conditions.

The government is committed to improving road safety and reducing the number of accidents and fatalities in Great Britain. Although there are many measures to achieve this, one is to tighten up existing legislation as it relates to learning to drive.

There are so many situations that could become hazards. For example a dog off the leash is a potential hazard. No matter how well behaved a dog may look, it's actions are unpredictable.

Driving Instruction and 2Pass.eu Driving School is about Value! Our aim is to provide affordable Driving Instruction from some of the most experienced driving instructors in the United Kingdom.

There is a lot to learn when you start training to be a driver so it is natural that you should want to learn from the best. Our 2Pass.eu Driving School Driving Instructors are the best. Well that is our opinion! You see, all our driving instructors have trained hard in order to be Approved Driving Instructors registered by the Driving Standards Agency.

If you look at the windscreen of a Driving Instructor's car, close to the tax disc you will see either a Red Triangular Licence or a Green Octagonal Licence. The Red Triangle denotes a trainee. Most trainees never qualify!

All our driving instructors are Green Badge holders, with several years of experience in driving and imparting their knowledge. It is important from a financial viewpoint that you should learn from one who has considerable experience. Driving lessons are quite expensive but an experienced instructor is likely to teach you in fewer lessons than one who is less experienced. It's all about Value!

According to http://www.learnerdriver.co.uk/ only 18 trainees out of every 100, are successful in qualifying in becoming an Approved Driving Instructor, registered with the Driving Standards Agency. Learning with a trainee may end up costing you more! The reasons are many but one important one is that your trainee instructor may lose his trainee licence before you reach driving test standard leaving you looking for a replacement. This will not happen when you learn with a fully qualified 2Pass.eu Driving Instructor.

Driving Skill:- Can you reverse park either on the road or in a car park whilst safely observing all around you? There are two parking manoeuvres. You need to be able to reverse park into a parking bay. The other parking exercise is known as a 'parallel park' where you reverse park on the road.

A good driver needs to possess many things which can be broken down into a few categories. Knowledge of Theory, an understanding of the Driving Skills you need to acquire, and appreciation of the Driving Syllabus and ability to carry out all that these require. Included in this article are random extracts from the Theory Test, Show Me Tell Me questions, Driving Syllabus and Driving Skills.

Syllabus element:- Turn In The Road - Keep a look out for traffic and pedestrians whenever you are turning your vehicle and be prepared to give way if necessary. Control your vehicle smoothly. Do not let the vehicle mount the pavement. Try not to touch the kerb as this could endanger other road users and pedestrians and possibly damage your tyres.

Answer - c.

What is a Hazard? A Hazard is anything that would cause you as a driver to change speed or direction, as you gain experience through your driving lessons you will be aware of situations that may develop in to a hazard

It is not easy choosing a Driving Instructor. If you know of someone who is learning to drive, you may get recommended to one and that is good as you will have some idea about the instructor.

In the main though, in my experience, most Driving Instructors are selected from advertising such as The Yellow Pages, or by telephoning an advertised Driving School and being given an instructor who is able to fit you into his or her diary.

It is not uncommon for one learner driver to have several instructors before finding one who is suitable. In order to try to improve on this situation, 2Pass.eu Driving School is building a website to be launched early 2009, where our 2Pass.eu Driving Scool Instructors can display their Profile. It is an opportunity for the 2Pass.eu Driving School Instructor to say a bit about experience, personality etc and also to display a photograph if desired.

One of the major reasons why we, 2Pass.eu Driving School, are going down this road is due to the popularity of social websites such as Bebo, Facebook etc. It is nice to get an idea about someone who may help you to driving test success.

In addition to Instructor Profiles there will also be displayed the diaries for you to choose a driving lesson at a time and date that is convenient to you. You will also be able to pay for your driving lessons online and spread the cost of payments by the use of credit card facilities.

As all 2Pass.eu Driving School Driving Instructors or Driving Instructors associated with 2Pass.eu Driving School are fully qualified, you are assured of expert tuition. The Driving Standards Agency only grant a full licence to a Driving Instructor after they have passed all of the qualifying examinations. None of our instructors are Trainees!

Driving Skill:- Can you drive with reasonable restraint without being hesitant? Is your judgement of speed and distance accurate? These are skills a good driver possesses.

Do you know what to do when 'Meeting Traffic' or 'Crossing Traffic' or 'Overtaking A Moving Vehicle'? How about 'Adequate Clearance', do you know what is meant by the term?

Driving is an acquired skill. Repetition of certain routines enhance your chances of success but you need to know so much about the theory of driving. A 2Pass.eu Driving School driving instructor will help you to:-

Know what to do for the best when another driver flashes headlamps.
Drive 'Defensively' and understand what 'Defensive Driving' is all about.
Realise what 'Clearance' to allow based on the speed at which you are travelling.
Learn how to anticipate the actions of other road users.
Judge if it is safe to cross oncoming traffic when turning right.

In order to be a safe driver, all of the subjects mentioned above need to be learned and understood . Your 2Pass.eu Driving School driving instructor is very experienced and will transfer to you, knowledge acquired over years, in order to help you pass your driving test.

The 2Pass.eu Driving School website which is currently being developed is intended to provide extensive training facilities for our members. It is our intension to make this service available starting early in 2009. When launched the website will continue to be developed on an ongoing basis.
