Ok, so this is one for the supervising driver (although, if you’re a learner reading this, it’s definitely worth suggesting to your parent, or partner, who may have forgotten what it is like to be a learner!). Ask if you can accompany the learner driving during the lesson in the
back seat and ask the driving instructor for advice as to how you can best support the learner in private practice. By observing for the lesson you can see first hand just how much the learner needs to think about (that may come naturally to you), what they struggle with and how they are handling their nerves behind the wheel. Seeing the lesson from their point of view, will help you have more patience when you’re the one in the passenger seat!
