Driving lessons in regions
In order for a trainee to successfully acquire the skills needed in various driving situations and feel safe on the road without endangering themselves or others, it is important for an instructor to be focused on the trainee’s progress for the full duration of training.
This is why Presto driving lessons take place with only the trainee and their chosen instructor in the car.
Driving with other trainees
In smaller towns, it is not uncommon for several trainees to take driving lessons together. This reduces the amount of time each trainee gets to spend behind the wheel. Although trainees are indirectly involved in the training process through seeing and hearing how others are instructed, an individual approach to handling various situations is lacking.
In addition, during a trainee's actual driving time there is less focus on training, as others in the car distract the driver. Explaining specific issues to other trainees can be a waste of a trainee's time and thus their money.
Time spent on the road
Participating in joint driving lessons with other students can add up to several hours wasted on the road while watching other trainees drive.
With individual driving lessons, you can get behind the wheel as soon as the lesson starts, confident that every minute will be spent to help you improve. This also means you can spend significantly less money on your training.
In addition, there is no need for the trainee to repeatedly practise highway driving skills: passing, overtaking, maintaining distance etc. After the first few times, this is no longer useful, and the instructor effectively starts providing the trainee with unreasonably expensive transportation services rather than actual training. Instead, the trainee can independently go to the city where their exam will take place, and practise their driving skills in conditions much more similar to what can be expected on the exam.
Undivided attention of the instructor
This means that the instructor will be focused on helping you acquire certain driving skills and spend more time on any issues that you struggle with.
Each driving session starts with an aim describing certain driving skills to be acquired. At the end of each session, results are recorded in a mandatory practical training process log that helps keep track of a trainee’s progress.
The practical training process log is available to any chosen instructors as well as to the trainee’s parents or other members of their family, who often provide the funding for a student’s theoretical and practical training.
Results
Individual driving lessons are a way to make sure the instructor can efficiently keep track of every trainee’s progress.
In addition, our practical training system, which is unique in Latvia, allows the trainee to freely choose and switch instructors, enabling them to drive and practise more often. This means that the required driving skills can be acquired over a shorter period of time.
More frequent driving lessons with various instructors help trainees gain confidence in their skills, which is a major factor in passing a driving exam on the first attempt. Thus, trainees can acquire their licence faster, saving money in the process.
Choose an instructor working in your city or a city near you, and apply for individual driving lessons – it will save you money and help you achieve your goals faster.
