We at Smart Drive Test would like to thank all the Moms, Dads, Uncles, Aunts, family members and friends that take on the task of helping a new driver learn how to drive and get his/her licence.

First, in most countries in the world, a new driver is going to be part of the Graduated Licensing Program (GLP). This program is a two-phase licensing program and moves to reduce the risks associated with young drivers. The two phases are the Learner and novice phases.

The learner phase is that which a mentor is going to be involved. This phase of the learning is usually one calendar year. During that phase there are restrictions imposed on the new driver:

1) Must be accompanied by an experience driver
2) ‘0’ blood alcohol
3) no electronic devices
4) passenger restrictions
5) no night driving

First and foremost, when teaching a new driver, you are not teaching that driver to driver; rather, you are helping that driver to pass a road test. If you can dispense with the notion that you are helping a new driver learn how to drive, the task that you are going to take on is going to be easier and probably less frustrating.

As well, know that most drivers are “social drivers”! They drive:

• above the posted speed limit;
• do not come to a complete stop at STOP signed intersections;
• do not stop at the correct position at STOP signed intersections;
• stop too close to other vehicles in traffic;
• and do not use signals effectively

to list a few.

For a licence test, new drivers must follow all the rules and procedures that make up a specific skill set required to pass a licence test.

For the purposes of a road test, there a four main skills:

1) observation
2) communication
3) speed management
3) space management

These fundamental skills are open to a degree of discretion on the part of a driving examiner.

Finally, please stay cool; in other words do not yell at the learning driver – no matter what goes awry. If the situation is terse, or you are frustrated, please take a break.
