Professional Lessons

Learning To Be Safe

Professional lessons with an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) are an essential part of learning to drive.

It is important that learner drivers take frequent, and regular professional lessons during their learning period. The lessons should be spread over a period of weeks and months, rather than crammed into a short intensive course.

The ideal number of lessons will vary for each learner, but there should be a significant number. Some research found that as many as 50 hours of professional instruction was required for learners to be fully and consistently competent to conduct manoeuvres well in all the traffic situations they are likely to meet.

This section explains more about getting the best from professional lessons and why it is important to talk to your learner's instructor regularly during the learning period.
