Attaining a driving licence is a milestone in many people’s lives and can symbolise a coming of age or ‘key to freedom’. Although ‘key to freedom’ sounds a bit over the top the sense of independence gained from having a driving licence and access to a car is simply unrivalled. It is true to say that there are many other forms of transport such as public transport but nothing matches the feeling of being in control of your own vehicle with the means to travel anywhere in the country and beyond at the drop of a hat. Of course, the first step in gaining this holy grail of the road is to find an instructor or driving school that can help you pass in the quickest time for the most economical price. Learning to drive is not cheap, the cost of fuel and government implemented theory tests and so on have all contributed greatly to a sharp rise in costs over the years. Expense aside, all people will surely concur that getting that licence is ultimately money well spent. According to the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) the people that pass the test at the first attempt are the best prepared, and whilst we do not necessarily agree with this assumption, choosing the right driving instructor can help you save time and money and ultimately get you on the road alot quicker. A good instructor from a reputable firm such as Driving Schools Merton will ensure that you are completely prepared prior to the test and furnish you with all the necessary information to prepare you for ‘life on the road.’ When searching for a driving school it is essential that you research your options thoroughly, the following checklist is recommended but in no way obligatory. Look for a driving instructor with a good reputation, check the car you’ll be learning in and make sure it suits you, ask if the driving school has signed up to the DSA voluntary code of practice and also investigate the possibility and prices of any mock driving tests or mock theory tests offered. As previously mentioned the aforementioned points are by no means obligatory but by following these simple guidelines you are more likely to pass within a suitable time frame and at a more suitable price. To ensure the best level of instruction for the best value it is advised that a person shops around and investigates all options before parting with any cash or entering into any contractual arrangement. There are a multitude of driving schools out there some significantly better than others so careful research is essential. Your first port of call when looking for a reputable driving school will probably be the internet, don’t be taken in by a flashy website as an indication of a reputable company, call them and gauge their expertise yourself, a good way to ascertain a driving schools previous experience is to ask for details regarding previously satisfied customers.

Although many of us may equate a driving licence with the ability to get out and about for social reasons or a trip to the supermarket it must be noted that a larger number of people are taking driving lessons in order to embark on a driving based profession. Aside from the obvious jobs such as taxi driver, delivery driver etc there are a whole host of other opportunities where suitably experienced and qualified drivers are much in demand. With the soaring cost of fuel and associated parking costs, more and more people are seriously considering utilising the public transport system more extensively, this public transport systems of course includes buses. The first step in attaining a passenger service licence is to attain a full car licence and to achieve the maximum earning potential it makes sense to take the first steps with a suitably experienced and reputable driving school. There are a whole host of other jobs that require the skills of a competent driver these include but are not limited to: Long distance truck driving, the Emergency Services and of course the driving instructor. When you have your full driving licence a whole host of possible job opportunities arise in a plethora of different sectors, the world really is your oyster. It must be noted that a driving licence is a privilege and not a right and the licence can be removed at anytime. Common reasons for the removal of someone’s driving licence include drink/drug driving, no insurance and reckless and dangerous driving offences. Although your licence may be removed these common incidents ruin lives for many victims, thousands of people are maimed and killed every year as a direct result of the unlawful use of a car. A car is a deadly weapon so when you receive your licence you should also be aware of the huge responsibility that accompanies it. Common penalties for drink driving include: A three year ban from driving, up to 14 years in prison, an unlimited fine, forced to sit an extended driving test and being practically unemployable for any job that requires a clean driving licence as a prerequisite. Many employers may overlook a single speeding offence or a minor parking infringement but they will not overlook a drink driving conviction in any way, shape or form. A conviction for drink driving will result in a criminal conviction and as many disqualified people will surely concur, it is never worth it. Our instructors are more aware than most of the responsibilities that go hand in hand with a driving licence as their livelihood depends on it and will be more than willing to answer any questions you may have.
