Why A 2 Hour lesson Is More Beneficial Than 1 Hour
If you are a novice you will have to be taken to where it is safe for you to take the controls of the car.That means going to quiet roads where there are not loads of parked cars, and long enough to enable you to change gears,and move off and park on the left side of the road.The time to get there will come off your driving lesson.When it comes to reversing around corners etc.You have to go where there are no parked cars on them,so again it needs going to a quiet area.Doing an hour could mean that a soon as you find a corner you may be going home again with out even reversing around one.The chart below was composed by the AA Driving school and not myself.
WHY HAVING
A TWO HOUR DRIVING LESSON EACH WEEK WILL
SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY
Any
lesson should be structured to a pupil’s individual needs. It should allow for
consolidation of previous topics and progression onto new ones. It should also
be structured so the pupil remains interested and motivated, without becoming
tired and losing concentration.
This can be achieved by structuring the lesson into 20
minutes segments.
One
Hour Lesson per Week
Two Hour Lesson Per Week

The first 20 minutes of any lesson should be a re-cap of
earlier lessons, a drive to a suitable training area and a settling down period.
The
last 20 minutes of any lesson should be a debrief and evaluation of the progress
made, a return to be dropped off and a wind down
In
one hour this leaves only 20 minutes for the jntroduction of new
topics
In a second single hour there is a further 20 minutes
In
a two hour lesson, even when the lesson is structured to allow a
breathing space it
permits three x 20 minutes of learning
With a commitment to regular training and by taking two hour lessons a pupil could reduce the number of hours by up to one third
