Love an unconventional driving lesson, waiting for a pupil (full licence holder) doing a solo drive after a few rehearsals. Driving fully independently can be quite a different experience, always more to learn. 🙂🚗 – at Nottingham, England

I read constantly for work and this is excellent. An audiobook covering evidence based driving psychology, learning theory, and neurodiversity for real world lessons. Highly recommended for all driving instructors. I do wish more driving instructor books released as audio. 🙂 – at Nottingham, England
