What were your first impressions of the www.drivewithpeter.co.uk training car? Did you like it? Was it clean and tidy? It was very tidy and nice to drive. It was also good to drive the new car and get used to a different type of car with the electronic handbrake. How did you find the explanations, instruction, demonstrations given by Peter during your first lesson? They were all very clear and helpful. A key role of the instructor, as well as helping you learn to drive, is to keep you safe while you learn. During your lessons with Peter, did you feel safe on the road with Peter’s support and safeguarding? Definitely- there were never any moments I felt unsafe as Peter was very helpful. During your lessons with Peter to date, is there a particular topic(s) or stage in your development that you have enjoyed the most and why? I think that the dual carriageway and motorway session was really helpful as I had not done much before and wasn’t very confident so it helped me feel a lot happier and safer doing it in the future. What characteristics were you looking for in a driving instructor? E.g. patience, calmness, clarity of instruction, friendliness and approachability? Have you found these characteristics in Peter? I think that being calm and clear are really important, and Peter was definitely very calm and friendly so there weren’t any stressful situations and all the instructions were really clear. It was also great that Peter allowed some extra time at the end of the lessons to reflect on the session without taking away from driving time so the lessons were never rushed.
