Getting your driver's license as an adult
Getting your driver's license as an adult can feel like a daunting task, but it's also an incredibly rewarding experience that can provide increased freedom and flexibility. Whether it's for work, family, or personal freedom, there are many reasons to get your license.
Five tips that can help you succeed:
Find a school that matches you
When choosing a driving school, it's important to find one that fits your learning style and schedule. Look for schools that offer flexible hours, perhaps even evening or weekend sessions if you have a busy life. And feel free to test out different driving instructors to find one you have good chemistry with. At Kör driving school, you can book sessions whenever you want via our app, and it's just as easy to cancel them. You can also choose your driving instructor and pick-up location.
Practice enough
Practice makes perfect, especially when learning to drive. Regularly set aside time to practice driving with a trusted and experienced driver with whom you communicate well. Be diligent in following the lessons from your driving instructor. Consistency is key to building skills and confidence behind the wheel. Remember that traffic rules and driving techniques can take time to learn, so be patient with yourself. In the Kör app, you will always see feedback from your driving instructor and what they recommend you work on.
Focus on theory too
Many adult students tend to underestimate the importance of theory. Make sure to study the theory thoroughly. There are many resources available, including online courses, apps, and books that can help you prepare to become a better driver and pass the theory test. Understanding the theory is essential to becoming a safe driver. In the Kör app, you can test your theory skills completely free.
Manage your nervousness
It's completely normal to be nervous when learning to drive at any age, but it might feel more intense as an adult because there's often more at stake. However, nervousness can affect your ability to drive safely. Try relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or mindfulness to help calm your nerves before and during driving. Remember, it's okay to make mistakes; it's part of the learning process. As a student at Kör driving school, you have 1 month of free access to the Overvinne app to help you master your nervousness.
Effective planning is essential.
To get your driver's license as an adult, you need a good plan. As an adult with a full-time job, family, and other commitments, your time is valuable. By coordinating driving lessons and mandatory courses with your driving instructor, you ensure an overview of your schedule, progress, and budget. All of this can also be easily tracked through our app.
