Walk before you start running!

If you find that you are having to spend quite a lot of time trying to prevent your learner stalling at junctions and in traffic it is because you are in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Unless your learner is nearing driving test standard it would be inadvisable to venture on to busy roads in heavy traffic, for example, when kids are going to and from school.

Problems will arise if insufficient time is been spent on early lessons when the learner is mastering basic control on quiet roads (or off road areas). 

Although you may think that it is good for motivation to drive in new and busier areas, it will invariably cause severe problems later in the training. Check with your learners driving instructor about what to do and where to do it.

Make sure that the foundations are properly in place before you start to build the driver!
