Driving in the snow can be very dangerous. Ice, snow and slush can lead to skidding. Remember the 2 second rule? It can take up to 10 TIMES as long to stop on ice, so leave a much bigger stopping distance between you and the car in front! http://www.jennifersdriving.co.uk/index.html 06 Feb 2010 09:42:53 GMT enquiries@jennifersdriving.co.uk A new campaign has launched about the importance of wearing a seat belt. Even at 30mph, you can die from a collision if you are not wearing a seat belt. Your organs are literally torn from your body from the impact of the crash. It takes a few seconds to apply, so even when on a familiar road, apply your seat belt and be safe. http://www.jennifersdriving.co.uk/index.html 08 Feb 2010 19:56:48 GMT enquiries@jennifersdriving.co.uk Are there more cons than pros to 11 year old children having driving lessons? Some companies are charging £50 an hour for children as young as 11 to have lessons on private land. Although allowing them to learn the mechanics of driving, they are not experiencing real life road and traffic situations. Often children can become over confident and intollerant of other drivers when they do go on public roads, leading to them taking risks and being inconsiderate to others. People like this might pass their test at 17 after having minimal lessons on public roads, but will they have the correct attitude to be a safe driver for life? http://www.jennifersdriving.co.uk/index.html 20 Feb 2010 14:29:16 GMT enquiries@jennifersdriving.co.uk From April 6th, the DSA examiners will have to ask you 2 questions before you take your driving test. One is whether you would like your instructor to sit in on your test (in the back of the car), and one is whether you'd like your instructor to listen to the end of test debrief. http://www.jennifersdriving.co.uk/index.html 01 Mar 2010 20:02:58 GMT enquiries@jennifersdriving.co.uk The changes to the driving test arrive on 4th October. To find out more, check out the DSA's Youtube video. You will be asked to follow signs towards a certain place for about ten minutes during your test. The examiner will not tell you to 'turn left' or 'turn right', you will have to find your own way. This mimics real life driving. There will be one less manouvre to perform on the driving test. http://www.jennifersdriving.co.uk/index.html 16 Aug 2010 19:13:21 GMT enquiries@jennifersdriving.co.uk The DSA will not be publishing test routes for the new independent drive section of the driving test. This is to stop driving instructors learning the routes and teaching them to their pupils. Pupils should be able to follow signs in areas they are unfamiliar with. The new test will mimick real life driving and make pupils safer and more confident when they pass their test and drive independently. http://www.jennifersdriving.co.uk/index.html 08 Sep 2010 09:43:33 GMT enquiries@jennifersdriving.co.uk The DSA will not be publishing anymore theory test questions . New learners will have to build up their general knowledge of driving rather than memorising questions and answers. Check out the DSA's new Facebook group for more information! http://www.jennifersdriving.co.uk/index.html 09 Nov 2010 12:50:31 GMT enquiries@jennifersdriving.co.uk A new law will be rolled out in late spring which means car owners must keep their vehicle insured unless they have notified the DVLA that is it is being kept off the road. This means even if you are not using your car, you must still insure it unless you have registered it officially as off road. Uninsured drivers cost everyone else money - on average £30 to your premium every year. http://www.jennifersdriving.co.uk/index.html 19 Feb 2011 08:14:25 GMT enquiries@jennifersdriving.co.uk The Highway code was 80 years old in April! It saves thousands of lives and comes in all kinds of formats including cd-rom. It has info for all kinds of road users, including pedestrians and horse riders. http://www.jennifersdriving.co.uk/index.html 04 May 2011 10:45:18 GMT enquiries@jennifersdriving.co.uk It's now half term, and the summer hols are on their way! Around the Bournemouth area, it gets very busy on the roads. We are lucky enough to live in a seaside area which is popular with tourists, but it also means our roads are very busy around holiday times. Although most learner drivers or drivers without much experience might prefer to avoid the busy roads, it is a good idea to try and get out and have lessons and get some experience during these busy periods. That's real-life driving after all, and the sort of traffic that you will probably be driving in when you have passed your test! http://www.jennifersdriving.co.uk/index.html 01 Jun 2011 15:19:31 GMT enquiries@jennifersdriving.co.uk Car owners who are uninsured but have the vehicle registered to them will today find that they receive a £100 fine or a court prosecution. You will receive a warning first to either inform the DVLA that the car's off road, or insure the vehicle. http://www.jennifersdriving.co.uk/index.html 20 Jun 2011 17:28:23 GMT enquiries@jennifersdriving.co.uk The DSA are considering using places such as hotels to conduct driving tests from, as well as test centres, to increase the places where people can take their driving test from. http://www.jennifersdriving.co.uk/index.html 04 Jul 2011 13:13:57 GMT enquiries@jennifersdriving.co.uk Autumn is here now and the evenings are starting to get darker. Don't be afraid to be the first one to put your headlights on! It's also a good idea to have a few evening lessons to get used to driving in the dark. http://www.jennifersdriving.co.uk/index.html 11 Sep 2011 16:31:49 GMT enquiries@jennifersdriving.co.uk We now have an automatic car available for driving lessons in Bournemouth and local areas.
