What do our driving instructors have to say?
What do our driving instructors have to say?
I have been on the lookout for a new car for my driving school in Ballymena, after reading loads of reviews and reflecting on the downsides of my current car I decided that I needed a car that was safe, comfortable, stylish and easy to drive.
My current car is petrol and it has caused some problems with pupils who have already been learning to drive in diesel cars, they find it difficult to find clutch bite and most have not been taught to set the gas, we have been able to overcome this problem with a little practice and perseverance,some however were not prepared to persevere and decided they only wanted to learn to drive in a diesel.
The other downside to my current car was that it did not have air conditioning, the problem here was that on a cold day during driving lessons the car would steam up and we would have to open the windows to allow them to clear, on warmer days the inside of the car could get very hot and uncomfortable especially during manoeuvres.
With all this taken into consideration it became obvious that my next driving school car would have to be safe, comfortable, easy to drive, diesel, and have air conditioning.
I had heard great reports about the Toyota Yaris from other driving instructors in Ballymena who use these cars for their driving schools.A Driving Instructor friend of mine then asked me if I could do him a favour by taking a pupil for a pre-test lesson and driving test in his car.As his car is a Toyota Yaris this not only gave me the opportunity to test drive the car but also to instruct in it.
I found the Toyota Yaris to be very easy to drive and most forgiving as well as comfortable and very stylish, it really ticked all the boxes and as Ballymena test centre is just opposite the local Toyota dealer I was able to nip in while the pupil was on test and strike a deal!
Delivery times were also very fast, so in a few days time Joe’s Driver Training will be teaching pupils to drive in a brand new Toyota Yaris 14 D4D!!

Heather Sims is fundraising for Leonard Cheshire Disability - JustGiving
Hi there everyone!I recently visited Leonard Cheshire Disability in Banbury with a group of Japanese students, and was touched by the dedication of the staff there, and the new building that was opened by the Queen providing a lovely environment for the residents to live in is fantastic.
I know a couple of people with family members there, and so when this opportunity arose to jump out of a perfectly decent aircraft all in the name of Charity, I thought “why not?!”
Places like Agnes Court in Banbury are few and far between, and reliant on funds being raised to keep them going, so as the well known supermarket says - “Every Little Helps”.
So, this is the plan ….. a sponsored SKY DIVE!
Yes, I am completely mad, and there are those who would question why anyone would want to jump out of a fine plane, but then people who know me well, know I am more than a little crazy, not to mention impulsive! I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous, but a little excited, and also greatly surprised, though very thankful, at the generosity I have received so far.
I thought this page might make things a little easier for those who may wish to donate on line.
Thanks a million for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, and if you want to come along and support me, feel free!!!
The jump will be taking place on SATURDAY 26th SEPTEMBER 2009 at Weston on the Green, time to be confirmed, but my arrival time is midday.
Hope to see you there (even if I look terrified and am more than a little reluctant!!)
Love Heather xxx
PS I have requested that all funds raised through my jump go specifically to Leonard Cheshire Disability in Banbury, rather than to the charity as a whole.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

I have had a few emails recently either asking or complaining that we were telephoning driving instructors and requesting that they could pay for more pupils.
I too am a driving instructor and I received a call the other day from someone syaing they were from the Driving Schools Register. They were looking for ADI’s in my area to ‘partner’ with them as they had a load of enquiries for my ‘area’.
They also mentioned the DIA (Driving Instructors Association) of which I am a member. It sounded as though/the inference was, the DIA had given them my number and my assumption was that they were therfore in some way affiliated with them. I of course took interest from a competitive point of view!
I requested their website information/address so that I could look into their request further - I had no interest in more pupils. The lady on the phone couldn’t tell me what it was precisely but to ‘Google’ ‘driving schools register’ and something else which, I cannot now remember. The call didn’t last too long once she knew I wouldn’t do anything over the phone and wanted to consider/investigate further.
There are other driving schools directories out there but I believe www.driving-Schools-directory.co.uk to be the largest, human edited one in the UK and growing daily. Well, we are the only one that I have seen that openly displays the number of UK towns we have listed. We do not list ‘teaser’ details ’scraped’ from other websites or from purchased commercial databases. All the driving schools listed have specifically requested to do so.
I think next time I get ‘the’ call, I will fein more interest to see exactly what they are promising and what the cost is likely to be and how they want to take my money.
Rest assured, if you receive any of these type of telephone calls, they will not be from ourselves.
Regards,
Mark

To coincide with the launch of their new web site, Intensive Driving UK have now decided to expand their Driving Instructor Training Services into Hull and Lincoln. Keith Hornby and Steve Ward http://www.intensive-driving-uk.co.uk/about_your_tutors.htm are probably the most professional and successful ADI trainers in the country. Between them they have over 25 years experience in training and examining students for the ADI examinations. They are constantly achieving pass rates for Parts 2 and 3 of the DSA examinations way above the national average. Due to their success, their services are in big demand.
They have been inundated with requests for help from students who are down to their last attempt at Part 2 or Part 3 of the DSA examinations. It was because of this that they decided to offer their ADI Part 2 and Part 3 Rescue Packages.
Potential Driving Instructors who have been disappointed with their current trainers, are now coming to us from all parts of the UK. We can provide a residential service for students who do not live close by.
Students who have attended the Part 3 Rescue Course would generally agree that their past examination failures were mostly down to receiving poor training from trainers who didn’t know what they were doing.
Intensive Driving UK have received unprecedented requests for Steve and Keith to expand their training services. As from 1st June 2007 they will now provide their services in Hull, Lincoln, Scunthorpe, Grimsby and all surrounding areas. Good news travels fast.
As well as training students for their Part 2 and Part 3 examinations, they also provide check test training and remedial training for low grade ADI’s.
Anyone wishing to book training with either Keith or Steve should call their booking office on 01472 31 32 33, or visit their web site http://www.intensive-driving-uk.co.uk/

Sitting at home the other night the phone rings, “Help, I’ve my check test next week and I don’t know what to do!”. This is not the first time a call has come in like this to car4go.
“No problem” I replied “we at car4go can assist”
An appointment was made and I sat in on a lesson, which I am afraid to say had no merit to it. The ADI had forgotten all that was used to pass part 3. There was no ROMPS no putting the pupil at ease (although this was done by me when we first met).
At the end of the lesson we chatted about the lesson and the ADI responded that it wasn’t his best but neither was it his worst!
We made an appointment for some refresher training on the Saturday and Monday where the knowledge did come back.
Now the point of this is that today the check test was done and the ADI is now a grade 5. Well done! The message to car4go was “A big thank you for your time and of course your understanding of not only how to get the grade but what its like being an instructor.
If there are any ADIs/PDIs out there on tghe Southcoast who maybe in the same boat why not look at car4go’s web site www.car4go.co.uk
