Driving training in winter

In Driving schools Birmingham as a car instructor, I am often asked when is it better to learn to drive. I will answer this way - you need to start learning when you can no longer drive. For example when you have already matured so much that any difficulties are nothing in comparison with your desire to change the quality of your life. After all, if the desire is not strong, then in the summer there will be reasons why you are not comfortable.

Any training involves leaving your comfort zone, and if you are trying to avoid discomfort in the learning process, this discomfort will still overtake you sooner rather than later. And when we talk about driving, especially in the increasingly complicated conditions of Birmingham. It is better to go through all the stages of discomfort and get out of it at the training stage. With a good instructor, in a car equipped for all safety net, passing all the most difficult places.

Smoother, smoother with the pedals!

The first challenge for the learner in learning to drive is getting the foot soft on the pedals. In life, unless of course you have much experience of sewing on a foot-operated sewing machine, a person does not face such a task for his foot. Therefore, at first, the students are very hard with the pedals.

So in winter, the road itself immediately makes a person work softer with the pedals, look for shades of depression, correctly alternate 3 positions of the foot - gas / no pedals / brake. At the same time, we overcome the difficulty when we feel the pedals worse through the thick soles of winter shoes.

It's the same with the steering wheel. At first, students rush the wheel to the right and left heartily, work with their biceps. In winter, students understand much faster that the sooner they relax all the muscles, and especially the arms, the less accidents in their actions will be.

And the eye is like an eagle

The second difficulty of winter training is darkness and poor visibility in glasses and mirrors. Vision is sharpened better when everything flickers in the mirrors, lights, lights. And the student will immediately learn how to use the control buttons to make the mirrors and glasses clean and dry.

Of course, you need to choose the time for learning to drive so that it does not coincide with some other stressful situations in your life, otherwise you can exceed the limits of your body.

In Automatic Driving Lessons a competent instructor is simply obliged to structure the training in such a way as to raise the level of your resistance to stress and smoothly. Put your body into a mode of digesting more adrenaline than it was before. After all, a pedestrian and a driver are two different creatures from a psychological and physiological point of view.

All drivers notice that their character has changed since they ceased to be pedestrians and passengers in the direction of greater clarity, quicker reactions, discipline, a decrease in the level of egoism, an increase in the level of calmness and independence from external influences.
