It’s finally here, after the last several weeks (Or months in some cases!) of waiting, preparing, shopping, moaning and panicking – We have arrived at the last Friday before Christmas.

If you’re breaking up from work today, watch out for heavier traffic than usual. If you’re out celebrating your Christmas break tonight, make sure to leave the keys at home unless you’re the designated driver – And if you’re out driving over the weekend, make sure to drive safely.

Most importantly, have a very Merry Christmas everybody – From all of us here at Britannia!

Are you dreaming of a White Christmas? Well you may want to re-think that dream if you are, especially if you are likely to be behind the wheel this Christmas Day.

The road conditions over December are notoriously dangerous as it is with colder and wetter weather making the road surface slippery and unpredictable – If there is a layer of thick white snow all over the roads to contend with on top of that, you will need to be very careful driving this Christmas.

With only four days left to go until Christmas, it’s time to get out your check-list and make sure you are all fully prepared – Have you finished all of your Christmas shopping? Do you have all of your ingredients for your delicious Christmas dinner?

If you’re in a last-minute rush for Christmas presents, remember that Driving Lessons make an excellent stocking-filler. If you’re the one who has volunteered to be the designated driver this Christmas day, remember to drive safely.

There are a lot of great things about Christmas – The festive food, Christmas songs on the radio, seeing friends and family during our Christmas break – It’s no wonder it is the most wonderful time of the year.

One great attraction over the Festive period is the decorations people often adorn their houses in – Illuminating their street for all to see. However do beware these decorations, as attractive as they look, they can easily distract you when you’re behind the wheel.

You may or may not have noticed, but the Christmas period is now firmly upon us. We would advise you to take care when you are out and about this December, whether that means Christmas Shopping or driving around dropping presents off to people’s houses, or if you are visiting family and friends this festive season.

With the cold and wet weather, the roads can be particularly dangerous, so always make sure to set out with more time than necessary for your journey and to drive safely and below the legal speed limit.

Here at Britannia, we deal with a lot of nervous pupils. Sometimes it might be a particular aspect of being behind the wheel that a learner driver might struggle with, such as navigating an island, whereas in other circumstances some pupils are terrified of getting into a vehicle at all.

But there’s no reason to fear driving lessons – Even if you’re a novice, we will make sure you learn all of the necessary skills to turn you into the most confident driver – And you’ll pass your test in no time!

Here at Britannia, we do get a lot of questions from driving pupils eager to know more. Some are much more sensible than others, however – So don’t ask us how much it costs to bribe a driving examiner!

One good question are often asked is the speed limit for driving in reverse. Whilst there is no fixed speed limit for being in reverse, it will actually apply the same as driving forwards, however do make sure to exercise the same amount of caution when reversing as driving normally, and don’t reverse more than is necessary.

As a learner driver, you may well be feeling under pressure to push forward with your lessons and to pass your driving test. Unfortunately, this can often have a detrimental effect on a learner driver, as it can lead to unnecessary stress and expectations that may feel unrealistic.

To combat this, try to remember that passing your driving test is a positive achievement, and that it is only for yourself. If it helps, also try keeping the date of your practical test to yourself so reduce the burden of any additional stress you may be feeling.
