Driving lessons and how to match the route to the client (01/16/2010)
(...)
This route should ideally be circular in an anti-clockwise direction to avoid the more difficult right-hand turns in busy traffic. Most, if not all, turns should be major to minor, with perhaps the majority of the route being bends. This excursion on to the main roads will encourage a slightly different and a more relaxed steering technique around bends, as opposed to the sharper corners found on estates. (...)

(...) You need to get them away from the sense of security they will have become used to during normal driving lessons. Deliberately change your role to that of a rather reticent individual who is marking their driving faults on a test sheet and, at the same time, giving them no technical help or moral support. Slightly change your tone of voice to make it a little less friendly, and be very formal when issuing instructions. (...)
