Taking a driver’s test can be very stressful, and on top of that there is so much that you need to learn before you even get a chance to take it that sometimes it can seem impossible. We are here to help you every step of the way so that you can pass with flying colors. Not only do we have the best instructors around, but we also offer flexible courses to fit your busy schedule. The different types of courses that we offer are:

Our standard course

Our standard course is taken by people who have who have enough time to complete the course before needing their license. It must be completed within 6 months. The certificate that you earn from our course is recognized by the insurance industry, and your waiting period will be reduced to 8 months. Our standard course includes:

• 10 hours of driving
• 20 hours in class
• 10 hours of homework

You will learn the ins and outs of the techniques of driving, as well as the rules of the road and how to react to other drivers. This is the course that the vast majority of our students take.

Mini packages

If you are someone who has taken a course before but feel like you need a little bit more practice or instruction, then we can happily accommodate you with one of our mini packages. These offer limited instruction and road time, but are designed only for people who need a little bit more to get them over the hump. With this course you will receive either 4 lessons and a road test or 2 lessons and a road test depending on which package you choose. You will not be given an insurance discount certificate upon completion.

Intensive courses

Our intensive courses are designed for people who are short on time, and need to get their certificate and instruction right away. It could be that you need your license before going away, or simply won’t have time to study in the upcoming months. Whatever the reason, an intense course could be the right answer for you. It takes place over 4 days so be prepared to do all of the hours of driving and classroom work in that short time. It takes place over holidays, weekends, and other times outside of normal scheduling. You will need to complete the driving as well as the classwork in order to receive your insurance discount.

Getting your license to drive is a major step in life, and one that can be a little stressful on people at times. Doing all that work while juggling other things in your life isn’t easy. That’s why we not only offer great instruction, but we also offer it at flexible times to accommodate your needs. Ambitious Drivers is here to help you get that driver’s license.

A driver’s test can be extremely stressful for the person sitting in the driver’s seat. This is going to make the difference between getting your license or having to rely on everyone else for rides for a long time. Nobody wants to fail, so making sure that you are completely prepared is the only way to assure that you pass. Parking may be one of the most difficult parts of the test, especially when you have to parallel park on a busy road. Here is how to parallel park on your driver’s test, and go home as a newly licensed driver.

First, be completely aware of the road around you

We cannot overstate how important this. Check behind you and to the sides before even attempting to get into the space. Look in all of the mirrors, and see how many cars are coming at you. Signal properly so that people know you are getting off to the side to park, and don’t slam on the breaks or else people behind you might run into your rear. Being aware of your surroundings will keep everyone safe.

Get alongside

Pull up alongside of the car, and leave about a meter of space between the two vehicles. Line yourselves up using the side mirrors as a guide. Once you are properly in line, it will make it a lot easier to do the next step.

Reverse

Begin reversing slowly. It is important to monitor traffic all around as you are doing this to make sure that nobody is coming up to far behind. As you are going slowly with the wheel turned, you will begin to enter the space. As soon as the corner of the vehicle appears in your left mirror, you know that it is time to make that full turn in the opposite direction to try and get in the space.

Straighten out

Once you are in the space, you need to straighten out the wheel and get the car in snuggly. Move up a little bit if you have to. Check all around you to make sure that you are a proper distance from the curb, and get out. All you have to do now is marvel at the parking job that you just did.

Parallel parking is perhaps the most nerve-wracking aspect of becoming a licensed driver. It is far more difficult than any of the other manoeuvres that a young driver has to learn. With these tips, though, you can learn how to parallel park on your driver’s test, and ace it. Don’t let it scare you, our comprehensive lessons will have you prepared for the big day.
