If you don't yet have your L's, you might think there isn't much you can do to learn to drive. But this is one of the best times to learn.

Start early and learn from the passenger seat

The more knowledge you gain now, the less you need to learn when you start driving.

You can learn a lot when you are not concentrating on driving because:

• With hands and eyes free, you can be a sharp observer of how things work
• It's stress free - relaxed people learn better
• You can ask lots of questions and listen closely to the answers

This is real learning, even though you're not behind the wheel.

Set up regular driving sessions

You can learn whenever you drive somewhere, with anyone willing to tell you about driving. If you can, start having sessions with your parent/supervisor.
