How to Teach Driving

Driving is not an easy skill to teach, yet so many parents try it without knowing how to do it correctly. Here is an article I wrote about common teaching mistakes made by parents.

Helping Your Son Or Daughter Pass the Driving Test

Driving is not an easy topic to teach, yet many parents try to teach their kids how to drive. However, when doing so, many parents fall into the known traps of teaching how to drive. They yell, they get angry, and generally they act as they have no idea how to teach. This situation is very common, and there are a few ways to avoid it and make every lesson a valuable one.

Never yell at your son or daughter. Panic is the last emotion teenagers need, especially when they learn to drive. Instead, use an assertive voice when something is going wrong and a calm voice when everything is good. Only a life threatening situation should be treated with a loud voice, and even then, not a voice that produces panic. When the parent has no control over the vehicle, he or she better make sure the driver is in full control.

Correct maneuvers are a must to pass the driving test, but many parents still teach their teenage sons and daughters the wrong ones. When showing teens how to drive, it is very important to show only right maneuvers according to the law. If a parent does not know the exact law, he or she should get a guide that shows exactly what should be done. No one should be taught illegal moves.

Ignoring the student driver while he or she drives is another big mistake made by many parents. They think that their teen is skilled enough to drive without comments, so they talk on the phone or even sleep while their son or daughter drive. This can easily lead to over confidence or worse, an accident, due to lack of attention.

A good guide can easily solve all the problems mentioned above and even more. You can find such guide at the practical driving test area of my site.

Hope you found it useful.
