Learning to drive can be a nerve-wracking and quite terrifying experience, not only for teens but also for their parents.

However, it doesn’t have to be that way. With support and encouragement from a professional driver trainer at myWheels Driving School and structured driving lessons individually tailored to suit each learner, learning to drive safely can be a rewarding and exhilarating experience. myWheels Driving School’s fully accredited driver trainers haven’t forgotten what it is like to be a learner. They don't lecture; they offer positive reinforcement and encouragement during every stage of the learning process.

Research shows that learner drivers who are provided with a structured approach to their training are safer, more competent drivers and are involved in fewer accidents. At a driving school such as myWheels Driving School, driver trainers will teach learner drivers to look beyond the basics of driving and offer a broader understanding of how to survive on today's roads. They believe that all drivers are not created equally, and therefore offer teaching strategies whose main focus is to provide customised driving lessons to suit each learner’s exact needs, whilst at the same time maintaining a relaxed and encouraging environment.

Supervising drivers have a responsibility to shape and promote good driving behaviours and attitudes. Parents are known to be the primary influences on their teenager’s driving behaviour. However, most adults who have been behind the wheel for a number of years have developed poor driving styles. Passing on their own bad habits to a learner driver can have disastrous consequences. With the recent introduction of the Log Book system in Queensland, where learner drivers must undertake a minimum of 100 hours of supervised driving over a 12 month period, it is more imperative than ever that the supervising driver has the necessary skills to teach the learner effectively and safely.

In a bid to address this issue, myWheels Driving Schol has developed a unique concept – Parent Partnership Plans! This program is designed to supplement the lessons undertaken with their professional driver trainers. It involves a combination of lessons for the learner driver, re-education for the parent or supervising driver and support for the parent during their many hours of driving supervision. Parents will learn valuable skills to help them play an active role in helping their teenager learn to drive. This will prove to be exceptional value for parents who want the best tuition for their learner but can’t afford to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on driving lessons.

It’s not just about passing a driving test. myWheels Driving School teaches “skills for safety” and is committed to ensuring that all learner drivers get the best possible start to their driving career.
