Ensure that the driving school is teaching properly. I have noticed that many times it is barely a few mins of driving with the instructor holding the steering and also having parallel control for over ride of pedals. If they do not teach the basics like adjusting the seat, steering, seatbelt, rear view inside and wing mirrors etc before you start…[Read more]
