Wollondilly u turn the wheel for learners providing incorrect information to learners & mismanagement of Log Book entries plus providing voluntary supervision without qualification to increase hours in the log bookIt seems to be a field day on the P driver when they have an accident and yet everyone with a voice in condemnation of the young driver will not put their hand up and say they would pass a driving test themselves,
or be willing to put their hand up to say they have taken an advanced driving course
People with a voice seem to forget that they are the mentors of driving behavior every time they drive
People with a voice may be parents of their own children but are willing to point the finger at other parent’s children as being the uneducated driver
I would challenge any person who thinks they have the skill to pass a driving assessment equal to a learner driver standard which I require a learner to qualify before taking a driving test
Time and time again I have to advise parents that their son / daughter is not ready to be driving on their own but may pass the test through persistent concentration but the response is often that the parent wants the learner to get the licence because the parent is fed up with driving them to all the events.
Then there is the parent who participates with the progress and sits in the car for 30 minutes while I instruct the student.
There are many factors related to driver safety and I would like to see everyone who has held a licence for the past 10 years to take a driver assessment to refresh their skill and attitude before pointing a finger at other drivers
This is important to learners achieving the qualifying hours & the correct way to enter the Structured Lesson Record Keeper & Log Book
The truth is: a learner may take as many lessons as they desire and it is best to learn the correct way for a lifetime experience. Remember: you can learn how to do anything wrong and be good at it if you practice enough. I ask you this question! how many years are you teaching your children to observe your driving & then letting them practice what you have demonstrated? Don't blame driver education for your mistakes
