"I overcome my weaknesses in driving under Affinity"

I learnt to drive with Affinity at my own pace and Suresh was flexible in his approach to teaching so it would suit me.
I was encouraged when disheartened and praised when I was doing well.
I was taught the theory of driving in tandem with its practical elements.
My weaknesses were targeted specifically one at at a time and in a focused manner, leaving me confident to sit my test with a methodical and calm approach.

Individual Considerations

Disability

Not all schools offer specialised tuition for learners who have a disability, although some do provide specially modified cars and instructors with sign language to help deaf students.

Pregnant

There are no reasons why a pregnant woman cannot learn to drive. Although the seat belt needs to be positioned so as to not cause discomfort, and turning in the seat for maneuvers can be awkward during the later stages.

The instructor can offer advice on this however. With the thought of taking a baby and pram etc on public transport, many pregnant women rush to take their test which can cause stress.

It is worth considering waiting until after the baby is born before taking lessons and the test so as to avoid any unnecessary stress.
