We really look forward to helping you not only prepare for your restricted driving test but to also go forward on the roads as a safe and well-prepared driver.
Lesson 5 – 21st February 1 pm until 2.30 pm
Lesson 4 – 21st February 1 pm until 2.30 pm
Great progress Emma. I want you to begin to look at confidently assessing through observation whilst maintaining your steering. A smooth and steady approach and exit from busier intersections around town will be the next natural progression to feeling much more confident about the various road layouts.
Lesson 3 – 21st February 1 pm until 2.30 pm
Automatic driving today! Well done. You seemed to be less fazed when rear traffic is approaching and managed to slowly navigate quieter streets. Work on assessing the give-way intersection smoothly so you can make a safe gap selection without waiting too long.
Lesson 2 – 21st February 1 pm until 2.30 pm
Starting to get a feel for the manual which I think has now allowed you to hear an engine and what it is doing for you so moving onto an automatic should feel less nerve-wracking. Low-speed manoeuvering was excellent today and I look forward to progressing to a more confident driving style.
Lesson 1 – 21st February 1 pm until 2.30 pm
I am inspired by you after feeling so anxious over the years about driving. Today, you were terrific! You not only steered very well but drove around town back to your home. A huge leap.
I want you to focus on what we covered if you decide to practice around quiet roads. You need to be crawling along, practicing your visionary checks, building the vision bubble around your vehicle, with head checks while you carry out the push and pull method with your steering. Keep your breathing technique going and do not try and push things too far.
I look forward to seeing you at our next lesson.
This is a record of your progress and must be kept by us on your behalf for 12 months and when added to your lesson plans forms the overall training plan.

Pre-test practice
Developing a training plan with you is where we begin once you have your theory learner test behind you.
Your training plan will be a structured and logical sequence of progressive lesson plans with the provision for the review of your progress as we go.
Each lesson plan will have its own TRAINING OBJECTIVE which will outline what you will achieve as a result of the session along with the STANDARD to which you need to perform the task and the conditions under which the performance will be assessed along with the RESOURCES that will need to be supplied.
How we deliver our knowledge to you is through three main methods
Controlled Practice – This is where your tutor will carry out the manoeuvre with a full verbal description as we go a couple of times so you have a chance to observe and feel comfortable trying it yourself.
Prompted Practice – Once you are comfortable, you can then try the manoeuvre whilst your tutor prompts you with a word here and there as a reminder as you concentrate on carrying out your manoeuvre
Transferred Responsibility – Yay – this is the bit you get to do it yourself and practice.
The following behaviors will not be tolerated by either the tutor or the student or any staff member of ALL TERRAIN DRIVING ACADEMY
