How Many Driving Lessons to Pass?

As driving instructors, we are often asked that simple question, "How many driving lessons will I need to pass my driving test?" But we find that the answer is not quite as simple as the question!

We can certainly provide you with averages, but every pupil is an individual - with their own learning style and their own pace. On top of that, the learner drivers that have the 'number' of lessons as their target as opposed to the standard of driving, can often take even longer to pass their driving test - this can be due to an inclination towards 'attending' driving lessons (to get nearer the target number) as opposed to 'interacting' and 'learning' (to get nearer the target of meeting the required driving standard).

The DSA (Driving Standards Agency) periodically publish statistics on the number of hours pupils have taken with their individual driving schools, as well as the number of hours of private practice taken with a parent or friend. In 2008 the DSA published that the average number of 'driving instructor hours' was 45 alongside 22 hours of private practice with friends and/or relatives.

Depending on your expectations this may well come as a shock (or in some cases a comfort) but there are certainly ways to ensure that these hours are kept to a minimum.

Depending on the skills and experience of your supervising driver (I'm not talking about driving instructors here) having lots of hours practising privately prior to taking professional driving lessons may not be a good idea. I find, from time to time, that learner drivers who come to me having 'learned the basics from dad' can sometimes take some time to get out of some bad habit such as keeping the clutch half-down for long periods of time (which would, over time, completely ruin the clutch - which can be a very expensive car part to replace!).

Therefore it can often be a good idea to take a few driving lessons with a 'proper' driving instructor prior to drawing on the experience of another. This could save you hundreds of pounds on getting out of the bad habits and further money by saving the clutch on the family car!

Private practice is certainly a valuable addition to your driving lessons - if used to PRACTICE what you have learned from a professional, as opposed to learning from a non-professional. You could, on the other hand, be fortunate enough to have a very 'clued up' supervisor for your private practice - but be warned: most supervisors would class themselves as 'competent' teachers... my experience has not matched their confidence!

Whatever method you use to learn to drive (with or without private practice) ensure that you find one of the best driving instructors or driving schools - which can knock hours off your driving lessons.

If you want to take driving lessons in Leeds or to pass your driving test quickly, then the best route to take is through an intensive driving course in Leeds. We have weekly courses available, and you could soon have your very own driving licence in as little as 2 weeks. We have a selection of female driving instructors in Leeds with special offers in Leeds, but you need to be quick - offers end at the end of the month!

How to Choose the Right Paint Brush

How to Choose the Right Paint Brush

The range of choice available today for the DIY painter decorator has grown massively - almost all painting hardware stores now stock shelf after shelf of paint brushes by various manufacturers, and of varied quality. The mistake most DIY enthusiasts make when choosing their brushes is the make their decision based on brand or price, with a little knowledge you can guarantee improved results. We are often required to repaint over poor handiwork, one of the most common problems we find is wayward bristles stuck in the paintwork - this is the mark of low quality brushes and can be easily avoided by adhering to the following tips;

1. Which bristles are best?

When confronted with the choice of brushes the first thing to check for is the type of fibre used for the bristles. The 3 most popular options are natural fibre, synthetic nylon blends and polyester filament. Each type of fibre is well suited to a specific painting job.

Natural fibres work well with virtually all types of oil based paints, varnishes and stains. However they should be avoided when working with latex based paints and coats.

Synthetic fibres are fantastic for all types of painting and decorating work due to the high stiffness of the bristles, and the fact that they tend to shed bristles far less often. Synthetic bristles are ideally suited for all paints including oil based, latex based, water based, varnishes, wood stains and other types of coating.

2. What is the best material for the brush handle?

We always recommend choosing a wooden handled paint brush for the optimum balance between strength and weight. Wood is durable enough to withstand the constant day to day demands placed by a decorator in London, it is also light enough to prevent the dreaded hand cramps.

3. Be sure to check your ferrule!

The ferrule is the metal fitting that connects your bristles to the paint brush. Whenever possible it is best to go for a stainless steel option. This will ensure that if cared for properly your brushes will last you years.

You may not have known that selecting a paint brush gave you so many options. It is best to invest in a quality set of paint brushes that cost a bit more. Then, take care of them and keep them around for your next job. When you invest in quality, you can count on using those brushes to help you to complete more jobs over the years, quickly and efficiently.

How to Choose Driving Lessons

Are you thinking about taking driving lessons? Are you wondering which driving school to choose?

If you are anything like me, when I was looking around for driving lessons in my home town of Wolverhampton in the UK, no matter where you live you will have noticed that some driving schools focus on offer the cheapest prices possible, whilst others appear to be genuinely providing quality instruction.

I came to the conclusion that the main thing I should be looking for when choosing driving lessons in Wolverhampton, is a driving school that is truthful with you from day regarding what to expect when you drive with them.

Having gone through the process myself with several different driving schools, I realised that there can be a distinct difference between instructors.

The first instructor appeared to be more focused on how many lessons I would commit to before I had even driven with him the first time and the second one barely spoke to me apart from to give me instruction on what to do next but rarely ever how I should do it.

Maybe these approaches work for some people but I would assume that most pupils like myself, would prefer to have a relationship with their instructor which could be described as comfortable.

Wrongly or rightly, if an instructor gives you the impression that they are more concerned with how much money they are going to receive from you or if they make very little attempt to make you feel relaxed, then your progress towards passing your driving test might work out slower than you would like.

My final decision on who to take driving lessons in Wolverhampton with was based on finally finding a driving school where the instructor more or less immediately told me the truth about what to expect during my time with him.

After explaining to me what would happen during lessons and describing the plan of action which would take me up to my driving test, I felt I was 50% of the way to success before I'd even taken my first lesson.

Irrespective of where you live, if you take my advise on what to look for when choosing driving lessons, you can't go far wrong.

If you want to take driving lessons in Leeds or to pass your driving test quickly, then the best route to take is through an intensive driving course in Leeds. We have weekly courses available, and you could soon have your very own driving licence in as little as 2 weeks. We have a selection of female driving instructors in Leeds with special offers in Leeds, but you need to be quick - offers end at the end of the month!

Which Paint is Best, Oil-based or Latex?

If you're planning to complete the painting and decorating work as a DIY project, and you're not an experienced painter decorator, then you will most likely achieve the best finish by using a Latex paint. Latex paint is ideally suited to DIY work and novice painters as it is extremely easy to apply, there is a huge range of colour options available and the final finish is highly durable.

If you're considering hiring a professional painter decorator, or you have good experience working with paints, then oil-based paints are a great option. The finish you will get from oil-based paints is particularly deep and exudes luxury, vivid colours are stunningly vibrant. The reason that oil-based paints require more skill to work with is partly due to the added chemical in the product, it is essential that the painting area is well ventilated and the surface is completely dry. You will also require strong chemicals and solvents to clean up any drips and spills.

The final consideration between the two types of paint is drying time, Oil-based paint can take a full day to dry. whilst latex paint is relatively quick drying.

To Gloss, or not to Gloss

Once you have decided on oil-based or latex paint then the next step is to pick which finish is best suited to the living space. You have a range of options, from matt to satin, semi gloss to gloss - each different finish has its advantages. If you have a room which will get a lot of use then you will find that semi-gloss and gloss paints are more durable, they will maintain a great looking finish despite years of hard wear. On the other hand, if the painting surface has imperfections that you'd like to disguise then a matt paint would be the best selection due to the low reflection. Satin paints have been steadily growing in popularity as they are harder wearing than matt finishes, and less shiny than gloss.

The best plan to achieve a great finish is to obtain a number of samples from your local paint store, or hire a professional decorator to advise you.
