The Charlton Driver Education Centre, in central North West Victoria, has, for the last 20 years, focused on providing driver education to students who are about to obtain their L’s. Our experience has shown us that there are advantages in doing pre driver education. Firstly, these new drivers are shown the basic controls of the car and how to set themselves up to correctly operate them. They are taught the correct techniques by professional instructors, so that, when they hop in the car on the open road, they have a good understanding of how the car operates and the basics of how to control the vehicle. Because they are being taught by professionals whom they are more likely to listen to, they are not going to be adopting the “bad habits” used by a lot of other drivers. This has proven to be very beneficial as it gives those novice drivers the essential basics of how to drive correctly and safely. The feedback from the parents and police is also very positive, as it makes those first few drives far less stressful because these new drivers have the correct basic information on how to drive.
