Driving Knowledge Base & FAQ’s

A new Knowledge Base & FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions) has been added to the Driving Schools Directory website.

The knowledge base’s structure and content is obviously in its early day’s but it will be built up over time.

This is where it would be great if you could help us here. It would be brilliant if we could have the numero uno knowledge base for everything and anything related to driving. I think to achieve that though it would need to be a team effort. Do you fancy being part of that team?

So, please browse on over, have a look and see if you can add anything to it, whether that is a full question and answer or simply a question to be answered.
http://www.driving-schools-directory.co.uk/faqs/

The basic structure is layed out but if you feel there should be another category or sub-category, just mention that in your submission or drop me an email.

I’m really looking forward to developing this with you.

Bretts Driving School - Chesterfield

After a successful career in logistics I decided to share my 24 years of driving experience, becoming a fully qualified ADI in 2001. Initially covering Sheffield, Worksop and Chesterfield I soon founded Bretts Driving School. This is now well established and predominantly covers Chesterfield, its surrounding areas and occasionally Buxton.
In November 2009 I achieved top marks for “attitude and approach to pupils” in my check test, as well as scoring a high grade in all other categories.

Heading Off Automobile Collisions

Avoiding motor vehicle collisions is actually a question of thinking about how to perform the essentials. After getting behind the wheel for any length of moment without an accident almost all drivers begin to depend on instinct and the confidence that they are a really good drive. The fact is that that may possibly not be the case at all, they might have just been fortunate.

When backing out of a parking spot, it is essential to not just inspect to the left and right to see if a vehicle is approaching, but to also always check right behind you and be sure that the motor vehicle behind you doesn’t select that point in time to back out of his parking spot. You also have to be aware of shoppers walking behind your motor vehicle, especially young ones that have raced in advance of their parents and will possibly not be easily noticed over the rear of your car or truck.

Whenever you are waiting for the red light to turn green know to hang on a second after the light turns before moving into the intersection. Inevitably there will be another person coming from the left or right who tries to speed thru on the tail-end of the yellow light or a whole lot worse thinks that if the car in front has time to make it thru the yellow that it means they can. Usually the light turns just as they are getting into the intersection and if you are chomping at the bit to get going as soon as you get the green, you could readily get yourself in a bad mishap.

Whenever you are at an intersection waiting to turn right, the instinct is to look for traffic on its way from the left and then to just commence your right turn without a final check in that course. The fact is that, many accidents happen simply because something has changed to the right; like a pedestrian walking into the crosswalk or a motor vehicle from the right making a U-turn into your lane or even a vehicle pulling out of a parking lot just around the corner. If you turn without checking first there could be a sudden mishap and it would be your fault.

Don’t be in such a rush to pull out into traffic that you hurry out as soon as an oncoming car or truck passes without knowing for certain that it is not towing a low trailer behind it. The low tow can be dangerous if you are in a rush.

When you are changing lanes in traffic you need to be sure that you really turn your head and glance back over your shoulder for a vehicle that may well be perched in the blind spot of your rearview mirror. That has happened too many times to count; that after a quick look in the rearview mirror I would only do a actual head turn as I was really starting to switch lanes. Luckily, there’s never been an catastrophe, but it has been close a couple of times.

When you drive through residential neighborhoods where cars and trucks are parked on the roadwayslow. Young children and animals are not pondering about you when they chase their toy or each other into the street. With no notice at all they can burst from between parked cars into the road in front of you, if you are proceeding too fast you are not going to be able to stop in time. Regrettably even going slow doesn’t ensure that there won’t be a traumatic events. So slow down and watch when driving a car thru neighborhoods.

The Purchase of Cherished Number Plates

The most popular forms of cherished number plates are those that represent names and initials. Name number plates, especially first names, are the most desirable and therefore the most expensive of all number plates. Prices for good name number plates can be very high and relate to the popularity of the name, the match of the plate to the name and the plate style. Demand is particularly high for common first names, such as Chris, Simon, Dave and Sarah, which can sell for many thousands of pounds. There are a vast number of plates out there from low cost budget options through to extremely rare and expensive registrations. To help give you some ideas of plates that might talk to you about your life, here are some ideas to help you on your way.

Finally… Practical Driving Tips You Can Use For Safer Driving Habits

Understanding the importance of road safety is something we should all strive to achieve as it can directly or indirectly affect ourselves and others on the road. For a learner driver, one of the best ways to gain this understanding is by attending driving school.

So what makes driving school the ideal place to learn such knowledge? First of all, all driving schools go through a rigorous training process which ensures they’re up to speed with all laws that govern driving in their respective state or country. To ensure a solid understanding of the theory behind driving, what better place to start but in a driving school.

Basic road safety begins before we even start our cars. You should check all the tires for pressure and that oil and water levels are sufficient . It’s important to make sure that your lights and signals are operating so that other drivers on the road can be made aware of your intention to turn corners or merge into another lane. For many of us experienced drivers, we can do these things in a few moments while walking to our car but for the novice driver, it’s a process they need to learn.

Secondly, learner drivers should familiarise themselves with the car they intend to drive. The power a car contains varies from each model. If the family car is a powerful vehicle and differs from the one they’ve used at the driving school, spend some time with them before allowing them to take the car out on their own.

Drink driving pedestrians, mobile phones and other drivers on the road. These are all major distractions which can result in you being involved in a car accident. It does not even have to be your fault! It’s often said that it’s not the accident that you see that kills you, but the one you don’t see. In recent years, many driving schools have included a larger syllabus in regards to distractions while driving. Many law enforcement agencies have also taken a hard line against such things by introducing new laws that forbid driving while intoxicated or talking and texting on a mobile phone while driving.

Finally, if your car should break down, you should put on your hazard lights so that other motorists are aware there is a problem. Discuss a plan for your child to follow if any problems should occur such as a break down and what numbers they can call for assistance if you’re registered for road side service.

Learning How To Drive With Crash Course Driving Tutorials

One of the supreme freedom that mankind has is the ability to drive. However, it is becoming gradually more hard on our roads now, as the number of cars increase year on year. It is thought that as many as 25% of every drivers are doing so without a legal authorization. There is no way of justifying this. Being in charge of a car is not just a great liberty, but also an prize and freedom. Because of this, it is only right to be taught how to drive by competent instructors. As our frenzied lifestyles command more of our time, many people are turning to crash course driving coaching over the more customary technique.

As with any way of learning, numerous methods work another way for certain people. Because of this, it is good to understand the advantages of both driving tutorial alternatives.

As intensive driving lessons are, by their very classification, a program of intense teaching, you may uncover the weather and areas in which you drive somewhat limited. With the more prolonged courses, often extending over a period of months, you will have the experience of many varied conditions.

As mentioned above, being a concentrated procedure, learners on crash lessons driving lessons are put under quite severe pressure. This is highlighted even more if attending a residential lessons, where you are surrounded by all things driving throughout the entire week; morning, twelve noon and night! If you can deal with pressure, great! If you blossom under pressure, excellent! If not, it is most likely best not to put yourself through it - learning to drive is a uneasy enough anyway.

Because of the demanding nature of concentrated driving lessons, it is also fundamental that you give them your total attention. Having gone to a great expense to get yourself through the program, it would be galling to fail for whatever reason.

Having a life packed full of responsibilities too, is not suggested on crash program driving lessons. But who doesn’t have responsibilities these days!? Perhaps it could be an idea to take some vacation time to finished the program?

No matter what way you learn to drive, it will be some cost. This is understandable of course, but it is imperative to ensure you can comfortably afford the program.

Having the ability to drive is empowering, and gives you the independence to just get up and go whenever you feel like it. Not only this, it also makes life a whole lot easier, without having to rely on community transport and the favors of acquaintances and relatives every the time. It can also of lessons significantly expand the types of employment you can apply for which, in these uncertain times, could be very useful.

However you come to a decision to learn to drive; whether through the traditional method or via crash course driving lessons, passing your test will be a essential moment in your life.

How To Drive More Safely

This article is not another one on how to learn basic driving skills. You don’t need to be reading about changing lanes, parallel parking and turn signals. Instead you will be learning about the risks taken when drinking and driving and how drinking even a little before driving can cause major problems. Associations like MADD, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, have been able to make great strides in educating people about driving after drinking. However you should consider how drinking can affect your driving skills.

Just one drink can affect the way you multitask. Multitasking is a hard skill to accomplish even without alcohol and when you are under the influence it can become extremely hard. Some classic TV shows make fun of drunken people messing up as they try to multitask. We lose our ability to function normally when we are drinking and multitasking is a major skill that is affected.

Driving takes a lot of concentration, even for a sober person. One must constantly be watching side mirrors, rearview mirrors, and out the front windshield. Even on country roads where the chance of seeing someone else is small, we are paying attention to the road, our surroundings, and watching for any impending dangers (like animals in or near the road). If we can’t devote our full attention to driving, then driving is impaired.

Really busy roads can be difficult to drive on even without the influence of alcohol. This is because there are many things that can change in a moment. You can never assume what the other drivers on the road will do. The elderly lady beside you can decide to change lanes suddenly or brake a long distance before a stop sign. Other drivers might not be as careful as they should be. Reaction times are slower when you have consumed alcohol. What should be an easy task of navigating through traffic becomes a difficult one when we are slowed down by alcohol and the chances of having an accident increase.

This article just illustrates a few points of how even the smallest amount of alcohol can prevent you from driving safely. Driving under the influence is just not the smartest thing to do. Given the dangers of driving after drinking, it is best to try to take preventive action. Something to think about is choosing a designated driver, or even abstain from alcohol altogether. If you really cannot arrange any alternative you can always just sleep in your car. The sacrifice will be well worth it as your safety and that of others is of paramount importance.

How To Select A The Professional Driving Instructor

Before you get behind the wheel, it is imperative that you hire a driving instructor to help you become an excellent driver. Aspire to become a good, well practiced driver as driving itself is a big responsibility.Finding a good instructor is a key step in achieving this. Choosing a good instructor is essential to learning to become a good driver. In the UK any instructor should be registered with the Driving Standards Agency. Any instructor not registered with the DSA cannot legally charge you for lessons. These DSA registered instructors are usually referred to as ADI’s (Approved Driving Instructors).

A good qualified instructor should help you pass the test with ease. You are now ready to drive on your own. Car insurance is expensive but it is illegal to drive on the road without it. Pay as you drive is often good place to look for young driver insurance. This insurance works by charging you a mileage rate with costs being much higher for the most dangerous times such as the middle of the night.

A good instructor will teach you all aspects of driving. This includes motorway driving, parallel parking, emergency stopping, hill starts and much more. Recent driving surveys indicates that a student driver that was taught how to drive with an Approved Driving Instructor pass their driving test the first time, unlike those who have not practice with an Approved Driving Instructor. The green certificated issued to any ADI is usually displayed in the instructors cars windscreen. A trainee who is being trained to become an Approved Driving Instructor, will have a pink certificate on their windscreen. The DSA has rigorous standards and tests to pass before approving any prospective instructor. The trainee will hive taken and passed a comprehensive driving tested and maintained a 4 year unblemished license.

Safety Advice for Coping with a Punctured Tyre When Driving

Driving the speed limit often means driving at a high rate, which can be dangerous if your tyre develops a rupture. Even the most seasoned motorists will feel fear as they struggle to control the car.

Depending on the severity of the puncture you may still have limited control over the vehicle, which will allow you to stop the car safely and in a position where it does not cause a hazard to other road users.

As soon as you suspect that one of the tyres has developed a puncture you need to fight the natural initial instinct to brake sharply and pull over to the side of the road as soon as possible. Instead stay calm, take a firm grip on the steering wheel and avoid using any harsh steering or braking inputs and allow your speed to gently decrease naturally.

It can be trying to steer your car when you are at high speed with a hole in the tyre. By reacting too quickly you can cause a spin out due to the force placed on the car. The tyre will also have a loose grip on the road. After speed has been reduced it is much easier to move the vehicle off the road and allow it to stop naturally.

With your vehicle safely stopped at the side of the road and with your hazard lights on, you should only attempt to change the flat tyre yourself if it will not put you or other road users at risk. Do not attempt to change a tyre yourself on a motorway, even if it is on the nearside, as it could be the last thing you ever do, instead notify the rescue services and they will despatch a recovery service to assist you.

When it is safe to change the tyre on the road you will need to get all mechanical equipment to change the tyre out of the car as well as anyone else in the car. The parking brake should be set. Any lights you have in the car can help you see the tyre more clearly especially during dusk or late evening. Always have your hazard coat on to allow any motorist to see you.

Your cars owner manual will list the safety points for where to place the jack. Before jacking up the wheel secure the vehicle on the jack in the appropriate location.

When re-tightening the nuts after replacing the wheel always make sure you tighten them in opposite pairs, to ensure the wheel is fixed securely against the axel face, before driving off again.

Being stranded at the side of the road can be a stressful experience for any motorist especially at night, so make sure you are visible to other drivers by leaving your Sidelight Car Bulbs on. It is also a good idea to consider installing Upgrade Car Light Bulbs, which will make your vehicle more visible at night.

How to Be a Better and Safer Night Time Driver

Your vision at night is reduced not only because you are exhausted, but also a lack of light, which makes it tough for you to avoid possible dangers or other motorists. There is one great thing about night motoring, though, and that is less traffic on the streets, providing you with more liberty when driving.

Before setting out for a night drive it is a good idea to check that your headlights are clean and function correctly. This is also true, and a legal requirement, for your sidelights as well as your number plate lights. Headlight alignment is very important as incorrectly aligned headlights can irritate or dazzle other road users. If you suspect your headlights are misaligned arrange for them to be tested and reset by a qualified auto mechanic.

Any time you have items in your back seat or boot which are heavy your headlights could increase in height. Drivers will certainly find this troublesome, but with the adjustment switch inside your vehicle you can modify where the headlights are pointing.

Your vehicle lights should be turned on when the street lights are on. During grey days or unfavourable weather you should have your headlamps on. Any time there is a low light it is a good idea to have your headlamps on. Dark coloured vehicles can be more difficult to see by others; therefore your lights can help make other drivers be aware that you are on the road.

Dipped beam headlamps should be used at night, unless you are on a street with low or no light. In this instance your main beams should be used. Your bright lights can distract other drivers, pedestrians, or motorcyclists. You should switch them off when you approach another car, person, motorcycle, or bicycle.

Anytime you follow another vehicle the dipped beam head lights need to be used. When you feel you need to pass another vehicle be aware that your sight can be reduced and illusions can be created by shadows. Dips or curves in the road can be particularly difficult as you pass another vehicle.

There are some things you can do to prevent the effects hazards can cause on your visibility. A person driving at night tends to be drawn to lights, especially headlights. You can avoid this feeling by looking to the left of the oncoming lights.

Dirt, road grime, or grease on your windscreen may create an optical illusion that is both dangerous and annoying. Chips and cracks can change the refraction of the light as well. It is best to change your rear view mirror to night driving setting, in order to lessen the impact of other vehicles behind you. You also need to consider when you might need to slow down on a bend or at a junction as lights may affect you.

Motorists driving during the night should be unworried about the dangers, and instead enjoy the experience of open roads without traffic.

Due to the lack of ambient light when night driving it is important that you always fit the best car bulbs that you can afford. Because bulb technology has advanced considerably you can now install new H7 xenon bulbs that ensure that you can see much further into the darkness.
