How To Find The Best Automatic Driving Instructor?

Bought a new automatic vehicle? A wise decision indeed! Learning to drive automatic is way easier when compared to manual driving. This is because you do not need to learn how to change gears and the use of the clutch. If you commute every day through high-traffic areas, you can imagine how hassle-free it would be, if you do not need to think about changing gears and pressing the clutch, when your mind is already disturbed, amidst heavy traffic! Therefore, it’s no surprise why more and more people are opting for automatic vehicles in the UK.

Along with this rising demand for automatic vehicles, comes the demand for automatic driving instructors. You will find many Driving School Oxford offering customised modules of automatic driving lessons. But, from our experience, we can tell you that automatic driving is still a grey area for many. This is what makes automatic driving instructors a precious ‘commodity’.  This is also the reason why you just can’t catch hold of the first automatic driving instructor that comes your way.

What to do then? Don’t scratch your head! Just go through this blog. Here, we will tell you certain important points you should consider while choosing the best Automatic Driving Instructor Oxford.

Here we go!                       

1.      Check the qualification of the instructor

 

All driving instructors in the UK must possess an ADI or PDI license/certification,  approved by the DVSA. When a driving instructor attains an ADI license/certification, it means he has successfully completed the full course (with 3 mandatory tests) conducted by DVSA.  An ADI will have a blue badge in his car.   On the other hand, a PDI license/certification means the instructor has completed 2 of the 3 mandatory tests. A PDI must have a pink badge in his car. He can teach learners for 6 months and after this, he must appear and pass the final test. If not, his PDI license will expire and he will no longer be allowed to teach. Always check the certification level before hiring a driving instructor. If the instructor is a PDI, you may be able to avail of his services at a lower cost.

 

2.      Look for recommendations

 

It's no harm asking around for recommendations. If some of your trusted friends or family members have been 'passed through' by the same   Driving School Oxford or instructor, you may rely on this piece of  ‘tried and tested’ information.

3.      Don’t always go for the ‘cheapest’ one

 

Let’s get this straight! A driving instructor has his fair share of costs to cover before he actually makes a profit. Therefore, it’s not always feasible for him to give you a ‘crazy deal’. Going for a cheap instructor may be quite tempting for you at the beginning, but, if he takes too long to ‘pass you through’ the test, you will end up spending more money in the bargain! You may not be getting the quality you are looking for as well. However, some instructors may give you a heavy discount if you book multiple driving lessons upfront.

 

The bottom line

You need to do due diligence while choosing the best automatic driving instructor to suit your needs. Do your research, look for recommendations and get the Automatic Driving Instructor Oxford to ‘best-suit’ your unique requirements.   After all, you would be spending a fair bit of time and money with him, right?
