Is takin crash course to learn how to drive a gud idea?

Fred C

No, never. It takes time and experience for driving lessons to actually sink in. If you compress that time too much, you may pass your licence test, but you won't be a good driver, and your chances of being in an accident in a situation you are not trained to handle will be 5 times greater.

no its not a good idea you will not learn enough in a short time to be a safe driver

No!because that does not mean you will pass your driving test now does it you still have to take the regular driving test to get what I assume your regular drivers license so what is your hurry do it right the first time and get it over with the first go round ok.

NO. In your case a crash course in remedial English would be of more use !

This depends on if you are completely new to driving or if you know the basics and just need to hone in and polish things up. Apart from the theory test I passed first time after just a few individual lessons followed by a week of driving for three solid hours a day!

I would take your theory as soon as you can - if you pass then this is good for about two years - then with regards to the actual driving test I would defo get a few basic individual lessons, whether this is with a family member or friend who have held a full uk driving license for more than two years and are over 21!(I think) or a proper instructor.

When you've learnt the basics and grabbed the concept of knowing that you are in full control of the car and not the other way around and you feel confident and comfortable handling the car go for the crash course - some driving instructors near you will probably book you in for a full week of lessons and don't charge you any extra than if you had the same amount of lessons individually over a longer period of time - ask your instructor to put you in for a cancellation and if you are lucky you'll be ready - however, if you have to wait for a while for a test date then I would just have one lesson a week, after doing a crash course, until the date and have at least a good hour or two directly before the exam.

- tip - treat the exam like it is no big deal - I think the more you pin your hopes on it the more nervous you get - remember to keep looking in those mirrors and keep calm, don't panic and treat it like it's a lesson where you have to do your best. Half the reason people fail is down to being nervy -

Also drive to make the examiner feel comfortable - as long as he feels safe and you don't make too many boo-boos the chances are you'll pass. If you're too nervous - your passengers will be too - and this is not good! You have to appear to be relaxed and confident - they aren't monsters and they fully understand that people are nervy when attempting this test!

Good Luck and DO NOT TREAT THE TEST AS THOUGH YOUR WHOLE LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!

i dont think so. it is important to get plenty of practise before you have a full licence and are allowed to got out on your own.
take some lessons and then go out and drive with a friend or relative to put the hours in before you sit your test.

My friend did this, it was very, very pricey although she did pass first time. Personally I think it would be too intense and full on for someone who is learning to drive. The best way would be to book a couple of lessons a week and then to get in as much practice as you can between lessons.

If it's called a crash course I would stay away, however driving just takes practice so I don't know how much that will help.
