Step one: the car
Make sure the car has a valid MOT and is insured for the person who'll be driving the vehicle. Before you begin you maybe best doing a couple of vehicle checks such as tyres, lights and the instruments within the vehicle are all in full working order. The car should also have an L plate on the front and the rear of the vehicle too. It's always worth having a set of spare L plates just incase you loose any from outside the car on the journey!
Step two: the person supervising you.
The person supervising you doesn't need to be insured to drive the tuition vehicle, although It maybe a good idea go have them covered as they maybe needed to drive the vehicle for you at some point. A legal requirement for them to supervise you will be that they're over the age of 21 and that they have held their driving licence for three years or longer.
Step three: route planning
The person sat next you may not have experience of teaching people to drive so it maybe best to have idea of where you're heading towards. This can then help you to plan your MSM routine more affectively when driving to your destination. Also try to make sure the roads you'll be driving on are suitable for your level of experience and also make sure you don't use any motorways as it'll invalidate your insurance if you do so!
Step four: patience
Try to stay calm with each other, don't look for someone to blame if things don't go well. You may find your performance may dip slightly until you feel a little more comfortable with the change of vehicle and person teaching you to drive.
Step five: Aims
Try to work on the things you need to improve on. keep a record of what you've covered on all your tuition as it'll help you to remember what areas you may need to be develop. Watch out for bad habits creeping in. If you or the person supervising you are unsure of something that cropped up on the lesson keep a record of it and ask your driving instructor to advise you about it when you next see him or her.
