Ten Tips for Choosing Your Irish Driving Instructor
Finding the right driving instructor in Ireland is crucial for your safety and success on the road. It's not just about finding the cheapest option; you need someone who will guide you to meet legal standards and develop essential driving skills. Here are ten key tips to help you choose the best driving instructor.
1. Check Online Presence
Start by searching online for driving schools with a website. This indicates professionalism and can offer valuable insights into their teaching approach and services.
2. Look for Qualifications
Ensure your instructor is qualified. While Ireland is working to formalize instructor qualifications, look for those certified by the Driving Instructor Register, which has been assessing instructors since 1996.
3. Don’t Focus Solely on Price
While price is important, extremely low rates can indicate lack of experience or qualifications. Established schools offer rates that reflect the quality of instruction.
4. Consider Experience
Ask about the instructor’s driving experience. Ideally, they should have at least ten years of driving under their belt to impart lifelong skills, not just test preparation.
5. Ask About the Car
Inquire about the make and model of the instructional car. Diesel models are popular in rural areas for their efficiency, but knowing what you'll be driving can set expectations.
6. Confirm the Syllabus Includes Varied Driving
Make sure the curriculum covers country roads and high-speed driving. These skills are crucial, especially if you plan on traveling around Ireland or further.
7. Inquire About Motorway Training
Confirm if motorway tuition is offered. While learner drivers aren’t allowed on motorways, practicing on similar roads is essential in places like Dublin.
8. Plan Ahead for Lessons
Book your lessons in advance, as many schools schedule at least a week ahead. Waiting for a reputable instructor is worth the extra time.
9. Discuss Your Skill Level
A good instructor will ask about your driving experience to tailor the lessons to your needs. Be honest about your abilities to get the most out of your instruction.
10. Be Open to Feedback
Approach your lessons with an open mind. Experienced instructors can gauge your abilities and will gradually let you drive your own car when you're ready.
These tips are designed to ensure that you not only pass your driving test but also become a competent and safe driver for life.
