It’s that time of year again when term is about to start or has just started. Among your list of things to do could be learning to drive. Whether you’re going to be leaving school, college or university this academic year, or in the near future, your ability to find work is highly likely to be affected by whether or not you have a driving licence. You may need to drive as part of the job itself, or just to commute to and from the workplace.
Learning to drive is also a great way to gain freedom, not relying on lifts or public transport all of the time. One of my current pupils, a Birmingham University student, recently told me she enjoys getting to see parts of Birmingham outside of the bubble of Selly Oak and the uni campus.
So when you’re considering your options this term, don’t forget to add driving lessons to the syllabus.
