Driving instructor teach people to drive safely
and to prepare them for their driving test.
The driving instructor teaches the learner driver the vehicle controls and the
basics of driving. The remainder of the driving lessons are held on the
road with the learner driving the car and carrying out manoeuvres.
Prior to each
lesson the driving instructor plans a route. During
the lesson, they will monitor the learner driver,
the road and other cars.
In most cases the car
will have been adapted to include dual controls so
that the instructor can take control of the vehicle
if necessary.
Driving Instructors teach general road skills, including
knowledge of the Highway Code. When the pupil is
ready for the test, they apply for a driving test
date.
The practical driving test now includes questions
about checking fluid levels and tyre pressures. There
is also a separate theory examination. Part of a
driving instructors job may be to prepare learners
for these parts of the test.
Often Instructors are self-employed are responsible
for keeping their own paperwork., paying taxes etc
