A Message to Parents from Driving Instructors Everywhere
We understand driving lessons are expensive, and it’s tempting to try and “get them through the test” as quickly as possible to save money. But as instructors, we see what happens when learners are pushed too soon… and it’s not worth the risk.
Yes, they might pass, but passing a test doesn’t always mean they’re ready for real roads. Without enough experience, confidence, or judgment, new drivers are far more likely to have an accident in their first year.
Please remember:
The driving test is the starting point, not the finish line.
A few extra lessons can make the difference between a nervous driver and a safe one.
Rushing to save money now could cost far more later — in repairs, insurance, or worse.
As instructors, we all want the same thing parents do.
safe, confident young drivers who come home every time they get behind the wheel.
