What a Difference a Week Can Make

If you ask the average driver how difficult learning to drive is, the chances are that you’ll get a different answer from every different person questioned. Try driving badly with a learner driver plate on the back of your car and you’ll realise only too quickly and rather brutally just how comprehensively people forget that they, too, were once callow, unskilled and apt to stall at traffic lights. Watching the impatience and anger meted out to learners by other drivers, the archetypal visitor from another planet would be bound to arrive at the conclusion that the vast majority of drivers are simply born with ability hard wired into them. The truth, of course, is that the difficulty of learning to drive will depend, in each case, upon the natural affinity of the learner with the act of driving (some people see driving as a chore to facilitate getting from A to B, others view it as an entertaining pastime in its’ own right) and the skills of the person doing the instructing. Some take to it quickly, others slowly and painfully, but a key point to bear in mind is that the length of time spent on the entire process is not necessarily an indicator of how difficult it is, or how well the skills have been taught.

This simple truth is why taking an intensive driving course in London is not something which is only recommended for those people who (rightly or wrongly) think of themselves as natural born drivers. Indeed, the opposite may well be the case – for a nervous learner, the sheer intensity of a six day intensive driving course in London may be just the thing to help them get over their concerns. The pace of learning, and the absence of any large chunks of time during which you can sit back, worry about your mistakes and start fretting nervously over the next lesson will often be of aid to those who don’t instantly feel at home behind the wheel. In many cases, the nervousness which arises around learning to drive is allowed to bloom and fester in the gaps between lessons, and then reasserts itself during the next lesson. Working, with breaks, for six hours a day, simply leaves no time to be nervous – forward momentum eliminates much of the stress involved in the process and creates a situation in which the individual learner genuinely just has to ‘get on with it’.

The exact nature of an intensive driving course in London will vary depending upon the starting point of the learner in question. The complete novice, for example, will be taught for a period of 39 hours over 6 days, during which time the entire syllabus will be covered and, at the end of which, they should be in a position to actually take their practical test. Learning in this concentrated manner is a massive boost to the confidence of a beginner – at the end of every day huge progress has been made, and the learning taken on board will be tangible and easily recognised. Some people, on the other hand, may opt for a crash course of this kind after becoming impatient with their standard lessons. For these drivers, 27 hours over the 6 day period will be sufficient to ground them in the skills needed, whilst those who have taken and failed a test can opt for either 15 or 21 hours of tuition, depending upon how narrowly they missed the target.

In all cases, the course is the answer to the question – why wait? The freedom granted by the ability to drive is such that it’s really no exaggeration to describe the time spent undergoing a course of this kind as being a genuinely life changing week.
