COVERING ALL LIMASSOL AREA

WELCOME!

Hello and thank you for visiting my new website.Please feel free to return soon as the site is just being developed and will be updated regularly.

I hope that on this site and the accompanying blog you will be able to find any information you require about driving and learning to drive in Cyprus. Although driving and instruction are serious matters,like everything in Cyprus, they have to be sprinkled with a little humour in order to avoid overheating and to retain one`s sanity!

Hopefully you will find these pages entertaining as well                                     as informative.

SO WHY HAVE DRIVING LESSONS WITH AN INSTRUCTOR ANYWAY?

When you start learning to drive, you may be tempted to seek free tuition from friends or family using a private car.

After all, learning to drive is an expensive business and you will save a lot of money this way, right?

You may say I am biased, but in fact, very few people pass their driving test without at least some lessons from a professional driving instructor.
Remember that a school car is fitted with dual controls, which means the instructor can take over if you get into problems. Also, he or she is trained to deal with learners and will keep calm in stressful situations, whereas a parent, brother, or friend may resort to shouting and leave you both nervous wrecks! Many happily married couples end up arguing when one or the other decides to teach their partner to drive!

Of course the more time you spend behind the wheel the better. More driving experience will make you more competent and confident when the day of your test arrives.
The most sensible and advisable method in my opinion, is to get the basic grounding with professional instruction and then once you are able to control the car safely without the instructor taking control of the wheel or pedals, by all means have extra practice with your husband, father, friend etc.
Beware that it should be practice and not instruction that you get from your friend or relative.
A professional driving instructor knows what is required to pass the test and will teach you correctly. Don`t let your uncle Costas tell you it`s  O.K. to drive with your left hand on the wheel and your right hand dangling out of the car window! That may be obvious, but there are many less obvious bad habits that experienced drivers acquire that could cause you to fail the test if you copy them.
Whether taking lessons from a professional instructor or practising with a family member, you should feel at ease with the person sitting next to you, as this means you will be more relaxed and that you will learn more quickly in a pleasant atmosphere.

Yes, learning to drive properly costs money. Think of it not just as a means to getting a driving licence, but as an investment which will pay dividends for the rest of your driving life.
