Puts it into perspective!

I've been learning on and off since 18 (now in my 30's) and a very nervous learner. I've used calming techniques to help me prepare for my test and thought this course would either help me... or terrify me! Thankfully I found it really helpful, especially as it confirms so much of what I learn with my instructor.

Really helpful

Most of the things I learned in this course are the things that my instructor keeps nagging me about... especially mirror checks! He keeps explaining the importance, but his has helped me to understand why he keeps on at me!

I’m really glad that this course has helped you to realise the importance of mirror checks, and acting on what you see. It can often seem like your instructor is ‘nagging’ you about mirrors. The issue is that everything else you do has a ‘physical’ consequence, like stalling if you lift your clutch too quickly, or try to move off in the wrong gear… but if you miss a mirror check there is no ‘physical’ consequence as your instructor isn’t going to let anything dangerous happen. Therefore, it’s really important to take responsibility, and it looks like you’re well on your way! Good luck!
