Customer Reviews

Pointless Little Book
This book gives you nothing specific to help you help someone else learn to drive. It points out the obvious (in a patronising manner) and spends most of its time trying to sell you the other books (which in my experience are no better). Plus it's really flimsy weighing in at little over 60 pages. Don't waste your money - if the DSA was really interested in improving standards (and not making money by trading on its positition as an authority) they'd provide this as a free brochure.

A complete waste of time and money
A flimsy little book that does not help in any way. It covers each of the 24 key stage skills in just a few sentences each, pointing out the damn right obvious. eg. "REMEMBER - You must ensure your learner doesn't hit any other vehicle while they're practising parking". There are no tips on how to actually teach any skill whatsoever. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY
I had read the previous review and still bought the book thinking it really can't be that bad, there must be some useful info in it, but believe me there is absolutely nothing.

Instructors view
Helping Learners to Practise: The Official Guide (Driving Skills)A book that does help people, who are having driving assistance from family and driving lessons. But in a very basic way. It covers each of the 24 key stage skills briefly, this book is no use if the learner is doing a intensive driving course with a Instructor.
There are no guidelines on how to teach any skill or pass knowledge on to a learner doing a crash driving course, some useful info in the book but more detail is needed, you would be better off having cheap driving lessons and let the instructor provide the information, however this book has information inside it which is better than nothing, if your having driving lessons in London you need more guidance for the person sitting next to the learner. Driving crash course this book is not it is a small help. Have a great driving week.
