For many learner drivers, to successfully pass their driving test is a major milestone in their life, and to finally get out onto the roads on their own is a fantastic reward for their hard-earned efforts. However, one thing still trips many a newbie driver up – Their first trip to the petrol station.

As learner drivers, you are likely not familiar with the process of refuelling your car. so it is understandable that this might worry some of you. If in doubt, take an elder or more experienced driver with you for the first one or two times so they can show you the ropes – You will soon realise it’s really not that difficult!

As a pedestrian, you are probably more than familiar with the Green Cross Code – Having been taught to recite it before crossing a road since childhood, it is more than likely deeply ingrained in your memory by now.

However what you may not be aware of is that even as a car driver, it is necessary to remember the Green Cross Code. This helps you to think about what actions pedestrians are taking and will enable you to drive as safely as possible, particularly at crossings and traffic lights in the future.

It looks like we’ve made it at last – Summer 2017 is upon us! Whilst this is great for many reasons – Not least the sunshine, allowing us to drive with our windows and roofs down to make the most of it – Summer driving does come with it’s inherent dangers.

One of the main things to watch out for this summer is the danger of pedestrians – Especially children. The hot weather brings more and more people out of their homes to enjoy the sunshine, but this also means a rise in people crossing the roads, and youngsters are particularly likely to step into the roads without due attention – So stay alert!

If you’re a learner driver, you may be all too familiar with the stress that being behind the wheel can cause. Maybe you’re struggling to master a particular manoeuvre or perhaps it’s just learning to fit your driving lessons in amongst your busy schedule – Sometimes it can get a bit much.

If you ever do feel like this, don’t worry – Just try taking a little time off. We don’t recommend going months without a lesson, as you will probably start to get rusty on your skills, but maybe leave the theory test revision book for a night, or hang up your keys for a day and put your feet up. You will likely feel that after a short break, you are fully replenished and eager to get back into the driving seat.
