Preparation is important when teaching young people to drive safely. A supervisor should be comfortable with driving procedures and be able to give positive reinforcement.
Before accompanying a learner on the road, there are a few things you need to do to prepare. First, make sure you are legally entitled to teach someone how to drive. You must be over twenty-one years old. You must also have a valid driver's license, which you have held for at least three years. Check your insurance to see if a learner is allowed to drive your vehicle. Next, brush up on driving rules by taking a driver's course or reading through the newest Highway Code.
The learner should be prepared to go out on the road. Ensure that he has a provisional license. The learner should have already had lessons with a professional instructor in a dual-controlled car and have a basic understanding of the principles of driving. Use a vehicle that is in safe operating condition, involving the learner in checks of the brakes, tires, lights, and all-important fluids.
Plan the route in advance. Begin with short routes, remembering that learners get tired and distracted easily. Gradually increase the route distance and introduce the learner to a variety of conditions. The learner needs to become comfortable driving when day or night, on wet or dry roads, and at a variety of speed limits.
During driving practice, it is important to remain calm and give advice in a constructive manner. Give praise where it is due and avoid sarcasm. You should occasionally ask the learner to point out potential hazards. Remind the learner often to use the rear-view mirror and turn signals. It is important to reinforce good habits. If the learner does something dangerous, find a place to pull over and discuss what the learner did wrong. Review the learner's performance after practicing, always staying positive.
It is important to teach learners in a way that will stay with them once they are driving unsupervised, and occasionally supervise another young driver even after they have passed the test.
