Why ‘Real Life’ Driving?

I am always surprised when new pupils say that their previous experience of driving lessons has often been time spent talking at the side of the road or driving around car parks, without them being able to put all the things they are learning into practise in ‘Real Life’ situations on the road. I believe that most people learn better by ‘doing’ rather than by just being ‘told what to do’ so I aim to instill confidence from the very beginning so that my students are motivated and enjoy their lessons, which helps them learn more quickly and remember things more easily.

I often used to find myself starting sentences with the words ‘In Real Life …’ when describing things that can happen when driving. Gradually the term has ‘stuck’ so it seemed only natural to use it as my
Driving School slogan.

My family and one of my pupils helped me design the ‘Real Life’ logo which I use on my roof sign.
