The Importance of a Good Teacher

If you want to become a good driver, it's vital that you'll also have a good teacher. Here is an article I wrote about this issue.


It's common knowledge that approximately half of student drivers fail on their first try. If you've recently failed yours, you shouldn't feel discouraged. You're not alone. There will be ample opportunities for you to try again. If you haven't taken the test yet, you may very well be one of the 50% of first time takers to pass.

What can you do to ensure that you pass? Study, practice, practice some more, learn your weaknesses, and focus on getting better: these are the steps you need to take as a student driver.

The studying may take awhile. The more you learn, the easier it will be to drive. You might have to study a lot, but everything will fall into place as time goes by.

To make the learning process as simple as possible, check out some online driving guides and practice every chance you get. Some online guides can be personalized to match your state's laws and regulations.

Of course, you will still need a good teacher, even if you do have the best learning materials at your fingertips. Keep in mind that not everyone makes a good teacher. Some people might not have the patience to teach you. Some might panic too much and yell at you over every little thing. This is obviously counterproductive. On the other hand, some people might be too laidback to be a good teacher. If they have bad habits themselves when driving, they won't think to point out your mistakes to you.

After you get a responsible and reliable teacher, you can begin practicing your driving. Think about all that you have learned from your lessons. If you know all of the rules, you will find it easier to drive. Make a list of everything you're having trouble with. Ask the teacher to help you understand what you are doing wrong. Look at your online driving guides to watch a video or read a tutorial on how to do whatever it is you're having trouble with.

If, at any point of your practice driving, you start to get nervous, take some deep breaths. Try to stay as calm as possible. Turn the radio down. Make sure there aren't any distractions. If you start to get scared or panicky, pull off the road (slowly) and stop. This is also why it's important to have a good teacher. He or she should be able to help you stay calm. Take a break from driving until you start to feel less nervous.

Only practice driving when you are feeling calm and prepared. That way, the practice sessions will go smoothly. By the time you take the road test to get your driver's license, you should feel confident enough to pass.

Whether it's your first time taking the driving exam or your 50th, you can find all the information you need for passing - and it's all just a few clicks away. You can find details of every single thing you will be tested on. If you know what the driving test includes ahead of time, you can easily practice and prepare for it.

I hope this article made this point clear.
