Amazon Alexa in your Car?

Amazon is looking to bring the Alexa personal assistant to autos, helping drivers with mapping and music navigation and to help find the nearest gas station.

You might think, well that’s what I have my phone for? But doesn’t it make more sense inside the car to use your voice? You want to keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road, so it makes more sense.

Recent Reviews!

A massive thank you to Kieran at Britannia driving schools for helping me to pass my test, I really couldn’t have done it without you and will be most defiantly recommending you to everyone I know!
You were patient, kind and professional and filled me with confidence every step of the way!
Thank you so so much again!!

I would like to say a massive thank you to Andrew for being so very patient with me. I started learning to drive with Britannia and Andrew May 2017 but it was not consistent at all due to work pressure on my side. Jan this year I decided that I really needed to get this done as soon as possible. Andrew was so patient with me all this time and understood that I was busy with work and tried and accommodated me whenever he could. I was really upset when I did not pass at my 1st attempt but with a few more lessons I was much calmer and confident and pass on my 2nd attempt. Thank you so much, Andrew, on helping me get through this life hurdle. 🙂

How To Have Comfortable Driving Lesson Part 3

Don’t get inside you’re own heads too much, listen and pay attention.

Driving a car is an experience that requires you to multitasking. Sitting in driver’s seat for the very first time, can have a insight the feeling of being overwhelmed with all the rules that you have to remember. Although remembering to use turn signals and what a particular road sign means are both very important, even more important is your ability to concentrate on the task at hand. Try to clear your mind and focus on what you are doing.

How To Have A comfortable Driving Lesson Part 2

You’ll be spending a lot of time in the car and its best to ensure that you are comfortable in your surroundings as it will help you to feel at ease

When driving for the first time there are many factors that you should take into consideration that may be able to help you to feel more accustomed and in control when driving. This can be adjusting the vehicle so that you are comfortable, make sure that you can see out all your mirrors and that the seat is adjusted to your height. So that you can comfortably reach all the pedals but no so that your knees are pushed against the steering wheel. This may take time a few tries to find the right distance but it will be worth it.

We value your feedback!

Your feedback means a lot to us here at Britannia Driving School. We’re always aiming to improve our skills as instructors, but also as people along the way. Check out a couple of reviews that you have left us on our site.

Darren was an amazing driving instructor. Making sure he always taught me well but kept me comfortable behind the wheel. I was so anxious but he always had words of wisdom to calm me down.

I just passed my test first time thanks to my fantastic instructor (Robert Stamp). Robert put me at ease from the beginning, was always calm and patient with me and is an informative and supportive teacher. Thank you Brtiannia but especially thank you Robert.

What to remember when driving in wet conditions

As we’re getting closer and closer to Summer, we have to remember that with the sun more than likely in the UK comes the rain. And not just rain, but torrential rain. Here are some tips to keep you safe.

Your stopping distance is doubled
Remember that in wet conditions, the time it takes for your vehicle to come to a complete halt is double that of a dry condition. To compensate for this, try to increase the gap between you and the driver in front of you.
Unresponsive steering
Don’t worry if your vehicle becomes unresponsive and can’t turn. This more than likely means that there is a lot of water under your tyres, and they can’t grip the road. Try to ease off the accelerator and slow down gradually.
Be vigilant
In treacherous conditions, remember that it’s not just you on the road. Some times you’ll struggle to keep spray and rain off the front window. Always keep your eyes open for other drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.

Safe driving, from Brittania!

What To Bring To Your Driving Test?

When it comes to taking your practical driving test, don’t forget the essentials!

  • A Valid Provisional UK Driving License
    • Make sure that it is signed
    • Your provisional provides proof that you are who you say you are.
  • A Pass Certificate for your Theory Test
    • This certificate must have been completed within the past 2 years.
    • If early than 2 years ago, you must retake your theory before taking your practical.

Remember, our instructors at Britannia Driving School are here to help. Why not have a driving lesson an hour or so before your practical? It can get you used to driving a car, as well as calm your nerves down.

Good luck, and safe driving from Britannia!

Not texting. Not drinking. But drowsy driving.

“If you’re sleepy, if you’re tired, take an Uber. Take a taxi. Stay home. Have someone else drive you. Don’t risk your life.”

Ask us any questions!

Highway Traffic Safety said, “The good news is we are seeing a trend in the decrease in the crashes that can be attributed to distracted driving, but it’s not enough.”

Drowsy driving is distracted driving. When we think of Distracted Driving, we immediately think of texting and driving or drinking and driving. What we never think about is drowsy driving, which is just as severe as the rest. Just because you have a cup of coffee, does not mean that you are safe to be on the road. Pull over, shut the car off, and rest.

Safe driving, from Britannia!
