"Learn To Drive In
Coventry
My name is Phill Godridge. I've been a Driving Instructor running my own Driving School in Coventry for over 14 years. In fact Phill Godridge Driving School in Coventry was established in 1997 and prior to that I had been a driving instructor with Acclaim Driving Academy since February 1996. In that time I've personally taught over 500 people to drive. (...and counting!) I have two very simple aims...
"Aren't they the same thing?" Well... No, not really. It would be nice to think that everyone would drive the way they were taught to pass a driving test, but in reality that does not happen.
My Second Aim... is to get you up to a consistent level of driving so that you can drive around a complete test route without losing concentration and making silly mistakes. That said... Here's what I will be teaching you... in "10 Simple Steps" If you have already done some driving, take a look and see how far you've got. That will give you some idea how far you have left to go before taking your driving test.
You have, in total, SEVEN manoeuvres to cover... although most Driving Instructors (including myself) will only teach six of them - The reverse around a right-hand corner although still on the official syllabus is NOT used on test (...at least I've not seen it used in the last 15 years!). So the SIX manoeuvres I'll teach you are: 1. The Turn in the Road
**For more video tutorials visit our sister site - www.VirtualDrivingSchool.co.uk. Learn everything you will need to know about how to drive correctly and safely in the UK through detailed video instruction. From the basics such as pulling away from the side of the road, to fast multiple-lane dual-carriageways and ALL the set-piece manoeuvres. Seriously... If you are learning to drive (...anywhere in the World ) you need www.VirtualDrivingSchool.co.uk
(...In Coventry that means the 'Ricoh' and the 'M6' Roundabouts... But don't worry I have a DVD Video Set to help you with those).
You're nearly there now, just one more road type to cover... The
Country Road - Speed Control
and an ability to Read the Road Ahead.
So there you have it... Are You Ready To Take Your Driving Test? Let's find out... If I have the privilege of teaching you personally, I'll take you up to the Coventry (or Warwick) Driving Test Centre and put you through a 'Mock Test'. I'll make it as realistic as possible - just giving directions, no instruction - and we'll go around one of the Official Driving Test Routes. I'll mark you just as the Driving Test Examiner would and we'll find out if you are ready to PASS. Practice... Practice... Practice... These are the three most important words. The Mock Test has 'probably' shown up your weaknesses, so let's put it right. When you can complete a route without making 'silly' mistakes then... You Are Now Ready... To Go For Your Driving Test... For Real. NB: [Please be aware that I DO NOT force you to learn all this in 10 HOURS. You can work through the 10 steps at your own pace. Some steps will take less than an hour but others may take 3 or 4 hours to complete. I WILL NOT hold you back, but neither will I push you if you're not ready. Most of my pupils reach the required standard in around 20 to 30 hours, but as you are an individual, I can't say how many you will personally need to pass that test, that will naturally depend on your own ability and willingness to learn.]
A Little More About Me Personally, as a Driving Instructor in Coventry, I focus my instructing in and around the Coventry area and cater for pupils from Coventry who wish to take their driving test at either the Coventry Driving Test Centre at Bayton Road or Warwick Driving Test Centre. Every year I keep accurate records of my pupils' successes and average about a 60% first time pass rate. Driving Lessons can be taken in 1 hour or 2 hour slots with no 'piggy-backing'. In other words you have a full driving lesson in the car, picked up and dropped off from home, work or college. I work on a first come, first served basis, so advanced bookings are advised. I am a registered member of the DIA and the Professional Driving Instructors Association, Coventry.

My First Aim...
is to teach you how to correctly control the car and to give you the skills
and ability to improvise when needed. Not everything will be rehearsed and not
everything will be obvious. But with my guidance, you will gain the experience
to deal with whatever the road throws at you.
Step 1: Basic Controls of the Car
- How to Pull-Away - How to Change Gear - and How to Park.
