Driving Guidelines
Leave at least a two-second gap to the vehicle in front, and double it in the wet.
Stick to the limit and adjust your speed to the road, traffic and weather.
Check your mirrors and blind spots, then signal before you turn or change lanes.
Always wear your seat belt and make sure your passengers do the same.
Keep your phone out of reach and your full attention on the road.
Never drive after alcohol or drugs, or when you feel tired.
Stay alert, plan ahead and expect the unexpected from other road users.
Learn the rules, road signs and markings, and put them into practice.
Show Me, Tell Me
The DVSA vehicle safety questions asked on your driving test, explained clearly by IA Driving School CV. We'll practise these with you before test day.
Turn the headlight control to the dipped headlight symbol. A matching light on the dashboard confirms they're on — remember to turn them off again afterwards.
The brakes shouldn't feel spongy, slack or overly hard. Test them as you set off — the vehicle shouldn't pull to one side.
Identify the dipstick or oil level indicator, and describe checking the oil level sits between the minimum and maximum markers. See all 21 Show Me, Tell Me questions.

Testimonials
“I was so nervous before my first lesson, but Ismael put me at ease straight away. He explains everything clearly, never rushes you and always stays calm. Passed first time!”
“Booked a 20 hour block and it was worth every penny. Every lesson had a clear plan, and we practised the tricky roundabouts around Coventry until I felt properly confident.”
“I switched to automatic lessons with Ismael after struggling with gears elsewhere. Friendly, patient and always on time. I passed with only three minors!”
“I hadn't driven for years and needed refresher lessons. Ismael fitted my lessons around my shifts in the evenings and had my confidence back within a few weeks.”
“Really professional instructor. Honest feedback after every lesson and a mock test before the real thing, so nothing on test day came as a surprise.”
“Both my son and daughter learned with Ismael. He's reliable, great value and brilliant with nervous learners. I'd recommend him to any parent.”
