Nearly all learner drivers say one or more things have made them nervous or put them off learning altogether, including impatient instructors, driving on the motorway and driving during peak rush hours.
Delving into when they experience nerves most, 22% agree that while they were nervous at the beginning of learning, this stopped once they got behind the wheel. Despite this however, 38% still get nervous before each lesson, showing the importance of a calming presence in the car.
BBC News, Citadel and Billy Elliott Voice Coach Elspeth Morrison is working with AA Driving School to help instructors understand the importance of ‘performing’ and voice control when teaching, especially when dealing with nervous drivers.
