Passing the driving test isn’t the end of a learner driver’s journey! Overcoming nerves and gaining confidence is something every new driver tackles. Find out which holiday gifts can help navigate these challenges.
How to improve skills and handle nerves after passing
Remember though, that just because you’ve (or they’ve!) passed your test, it doesn’t mean you know everything about safe driving! Driving on your own without an instructor in the car can take some getting used to – particularly if you take unfamiliar routes or drive at busy times of the day.
The good news is that we have everything you need to boost your confidence!
- Check out The Official DVSA Guide to Better Driving (available as an e-learning course or book)
If driving makes you stressed and angry, The Official DVSA Guide to Better Driving can help. It’s full of easy to understand explanations of mood and its effects on driver behaviour, backed by plenty of practical advice designed to help you manage stress in common situations such as driving on motorways, driving with passengers in the car and approaching roundabouts.
So go on, treat yourself (or the new driver in your life) this Christmas and become a better, safer, driver.
Prepare for winter driving
Don’t forget about the importance of vehicle safety when it comes to changing seasons! If you want to prepare for winter, definitely think about this official DVSA e-learning course:
