On completion you will receive a DSA Pass Plus Certificate and you will be eligible for a discount on your car insurance from participating insurance companies; you may save more than the course cost!

TAKE RESPOSIBILTY FOR YOURSELF AND OTHERS
Be patient and recognise your own and others' limitations.

GAIN EXPERIENCE & CONFIDENCE
Remember you will be able to drive on your own and there won't always be someone with you to provide advice together with accurate and timely directions! You will need to plan your own routes and pay close attention to road signs and markings (it may be worth investing in a Satnav if your sense of direction isn't good!). Begin with shorter journeys, known places and routes maybe with a trusted relative or friend. Shamrock Driving School recommend that you don't drive on the day you pass your test as you may well feel elated and have a false sense of invincibility on the roads!

FAMILIARISE YOURSELF WITH YOUR CAR'S CONTROLS, HANDLING & CHARACTERISTICS
Every car is different, especially older cars which won't handle and perform the same as a modern driving school car, for example they don't always have Power Assisted Steering or Anti-Lock Braking (ABS). So, you may need to steer harder and when performing an emergency stop brake firmly but progressively to avoid skidding.

REALISE CARS HANDLE DIFFERENTLY WITH 3-4 PASSENGERS
Drive at a safe speed for the road & weather conditions and ensure you have the correct speed & gear before entering a bend so you remain in full control.

RESIST PEER PRESSURE
Don't let others pressurise you to take risks when you are driving - stay safe!

NEW DRIVER ACT
Remember if you get six or more Penalty Points on your Licence within two years of passing your driving test, your Licence will be automatically revoked so you'll need to drive as a learner and pass your Theory and Practical Driving Tests again.
