• In your opinion, what is the most difficult element of the practical driving test?
I think the most difficult element of the practical driving test is the students’ ability to deal with nerves on the day, from the practice drive before the test where students may make silly mistakes which they haven’t done previously, to the nerves affecting how they drive during the test itself. It’s such a shame if nerves get the better of them!

Low cost, low risk learner driver insurance
Wednesday, August 15th, 2012Here at RED, we know that being taught driving skills from qualified instructors is just as important as having the opportunity to practice driving outside of tuition time. Indeed, The Driving Standards Agency recommends that in addition to the lessons with your instructor, you should also practice for at least 20 hours privately.
Now, those of you who have already made a start with this will know that persuading your parent, guardian, big sister or cousin to practice in their car is hard enough, but then you have to worry about insurance on top.
