Books

 Many books have been written on the subject of learning to drive - both from the learners’ and instructors’ point of view. Just have a look at the DRIVERS WORLD Bookshelf and you will see almost everything available on the subject. Even the most conscientious pupil will not want, or even need, to read them all.

However, there are a few which are almost essential and a good instructor should encourage pupils to read them if they want to have a better chance of passing the various tests.

Not only should the instructor provide this encouragement, but should also provide the actual books. This is sound business practice and has several benefits.

 

1.        The books can be purchased in small bulk quantities on the Internet from the likes of AMAZON with good discounts and resold to the pupil at the retail price. Thus providing the instructor with a small, but useful, extra source of revenue.

2.        The pupil does not have the problem of chasing around trying to find them in the shops and will again be grateful for the good service you are providing.

3.        A pupil is more likely to actually buy and read them, and benefit from them, if they are so easily available. Thus making your job a little easier.

 

These days there are an equal number of VCR tapes and DVDs available which supplement visually the content provided by books. They can be an extremely useful teaching aid which younger pupils will more readily use as an alternative to reading a book. These are also available through AMAZON and can be sold on to pupils in the same way.

For details of the required reading see the DRIVERS WORLD Information zone.
