“Ivan was more of a coach and mentor than an instructor”

After having a bad experience with another instructor, I met Ivan Flanagan who was patient, understanding and methodical in his approach to instructing me. Having a full time job Ivan was always flexible with timings of lessons and on a number of occasions it was close on 19:30 when we completed. What I liked most about Ivan was his approach and teaching style; he was more of coach and mentor then an instructor. Always talking through manoeuvres, via the use of diagrams prior to doing them which was a massive help. And after every lesson Ivan wanted feedback from me on how I felt the lesson went and what I felt we needed to focus on at our next lessons ‘’after which Ivan would give his feedback’’, which built my confidence. Confidence is what you need to pass your test and that is what Ivan instills in you.

It is best to start this subject on a quiet road like Waverley Drive. This road can be also used for uphill starts.

Left/Right turns and emerging at T-Junctions

ADS recommend doing a circuit which starts on Ferndale Avenue, emerges right on to Bittams Lane and then turns right on to Hillcrest Avenue. We can then take the first right on to Ferndale Avenue . At the end of the road we can emerge right on to Little Green Lane. Take a right turn at the T-Junction and we will end up on Bittams Lane then taking the third right leads us back to Hillcrest Avenue. At the end of the road turning left takes us on to Waverley Drive. Emerging left takes us to Sandalwood Avenue. We can then emerge right back on to Little Green Lane. Taking the first right we are back on Ferndale Avenue.  This allows the learner to practice steering, MSPSL and Peep and Creep techniques.
