Many people don't drive even though they hold a full license. There can be many reasons for this – maybe you passed your test but haven't bought a car yet so you have nothing you can drive. You might have got a new job where you don't have a parking space so you've started taking public transport to and from work. Maybe you moved to a big city where having a car just isn't practical – whatever the reason, thousands of people find that they haven't driven for months and they feel they don't remember how.
It can be very daunting getting behind the wheel of a car if you haven't done so for a long time, even though you know you can drive and have passed your test. If you're feeling worried, it's best to take some refresher driving lessons. These take you through the basic safety principles of driving and can give you your confidence back so that you feel able to take control of a car again.
Not only can you get your confidence back, you can drive more safely too. Many people who are out of practice may not remember how to drive as safely as possible, so refresher lessons can help you to be safe on the roads. You might have bad habits that the instructor can point out, so you'll know if you're doing anything wrong.
It may feel strange calling up a driving school and asking for refresher lessons, but it's very common and nothing to be embarrassed about. Just think, after a few lessons you'll be confident again and ready to drive!
