Driving Lessons Raheny

Whether you are in Maywood, St. Anne’s, Foxwood or any other area, this is a must-read guide to passing your driving test in Raheny.

1.  Relax Your Concentration!

If you force yourself to concentrate, you will become tired quickly. Devoting too much attention to routines will result in “forced concentration” and may even result in a poor drive especially during your driving test. Routines are important of course, but only if they are used appropriately. Explore with your driving instructor ways to relax your concentration during your driving lessons or use some of the ideas I have listed below.

2.  Observe Naturally!

Let your observation “flow” in a natural way. Bust the myths like “show the tester that you are checking the mirrors”.  If you make too many “deliberate” head movements, it’s more likely that the driving tester will fault you for poor observation. Let’s face it, if your spending too long looking in your mirrors,  your general observation will have to suffer. Practise observing naturally during your pretest driving lessons and ask your driving instructor to support you by highlighting good observation and areas for improvement.

3.  Take in the Big Picture!

Think about it, if your vision is low you will only take in a limited amount of the information that’s available. That means that you will have less time to deal with all the stuff that’s happening! Create more time for yourself to react. When learning to drive,  ask your driving instructor to help you to scan effectively- to take in the bigger picture.  If you work on this during your EDT Driving Lessons and pretest lessons, you will have a much-improved chance of passing your test first time!

4.  Act Safely on What You See!

During your driving test, ask yourself “What’s the safest thing to do here?” – It sounds obvious doesn’t it? However, many driving test candidates are more concerned about what they think the tester would “like” them to do instead of acting safely on what they see. During your mock tests with your Approved Driving Instructor, practise this technique so that you are making decisions based on safe progress. Then during your driving test,  repeat naturally!

5.  Let Your Car Do Some Work!

Know your car! If you are using your own car or if you are hiring your driving instructor’s car for your test, know what it can do and what it can’t do! Make sure you understand the technology that’s available and use it to help you during your test. Ask your driving instructor to explain or demonstrate all the driving assistance technology that you have.  Let the car do some work for you!

6.  Have a Coping Strategy!

Nerves are natural but if they “take over” during your test your performance will suffer. During your driving lessons and especially during pretests and mock tests, explore with your driving instructor strategies to help you cope with test nerves. These may include pre-test mindfulness techniques and /or “mind tricks” during the test itself.  These instant fixes can get you back on track quickly and help you pass. You will then be able to enjoy the independence and freedom of a full driving licence!

“I passed in Raheny with Colm Branigan.

Colm was immensely helpful. His positive and encouraging manner built my confidence and belief.

The knowledge and tips he shared and his common-sense approach helped me drive more naturally on test day.

Client-Centred Learning.
Client-centred learning puts the learner at the heart of the learning process. A skilled driving coach will facilitate learning by paying exquisite attention to the learner and engaging him/her in the process.
Raising your level of awareness and responsibility.
The Driving Coach will help to raise the learner’s internal and external awareness and to recognize the effects one’s thoughts, feelings and emotions will have on their behavior. As a result, this high level of awareness encourages the learner to take responsibility for the decisions that they make.
Establishing and maintaining rapport.
A skilled driving coach will connect with the learner by establishing and maintaining rapport. Consequently, this will create an engaging atmosphere, conducive to learning and will ensure a great lesson experience.
Encouraging SMART Goals.
“People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going”. Goal setting focuses the learner’s mind on what specific outcomes they would like to achieve. The Driving Coach will facilitate a learning pathway to reach these goals.
Believing that you can succeed.
Central to any coaching relationship is the coach’s belief in the client’s ability to be successful. The skilled Driving Coach will help the learner unlock their potential, achieve their goals and find success.
