Practice Tips

Accompanying a learner driver

Use private practice to follow up things covered in the driving lessons.

Keep a record of your practice drives to show your learner's driving instructor .

Follow the instructor's approach as much as you can.

Arrange specific times for driving practice.

Be patient and keep calm.

Learners who practise between lessons are more likely to pass first time

Who can help

To accompany a learner driver, you need to be at least 21, have held a full driving licence for at least three years and clearly display 'L' plates on the back and front of your car.
The Driving Standards Agency recommend a grounding in driving skills with a fully qualified instructor before you start accompanying a learner.
