First day driving lesson guide

You must be as excited as you are nervous to go on your first real driving class. We will relax you a bit as the first day is not as frightening as you would have imagined in your mind. Let us see in a step by step manner, what you should expect from the very first day:

  • You will be picked up from your home at the time slot you booked earlier.

The instructor’s car will be marked with a learner plate.

You will be asked to present your learner license.

You will be carrying your logbook and a bottle of water. 

  • You will be introduced to the basic setup of the car.

The car controls and dashboard signs and instruments will be explained to you. 

Some instructions will be given like adjusting the driver seat, adjusting the rear view mirrors, and making sure that you get comfortable and in control of the car and immediate surroundings.

  • You will be asked to go for a short first ride.

This will be done on a quiet street or a spacious parking lot.

It is only to give you the feel of the car.

You will only ride a short distance.

  • You will be given the basic lessons on safe driving.

No one will expect you to have any hands-on experience with a car.

You will be taught how to start a car, parking, controlling essentials, and a few basic skills.

The idea is to take it slowly and learn from your instructor in a well structured way.

If the instructor feels you can take it any further, you will be taught how to use the mirrors, park the vehicle, and how to avoid common mistakes.

  • You will receive your first day feedbacks

This will reflect on how you did and the areas to focus on in future lessons.

You will be asked to take their feedbacks and accordingly develop a lesson plan to improve your skill.

  • Your instructor will fill in the logbook and drop you back to your starting point.

Some states offer driving experience recognition every time you learn from a professional instructor.

Your logbook needs to be filled after every supervised session.

Lastly, you will be dropped back to your home.

Plan to schedule your session at least twice a week to keep you in the practice mode. Do not ponder over mistakes you might have done on the first day. We all have been through them and gained insight with more practice. Establish your own pace before you are confident enough to take your final test and start driving independently on the road.
