Learning how to drive is an exciting rite of passage for all teenagers. They look forward to the freedom, independence, adventure, and thrill that being able to drive themselves from place to place promises. They anticipate the relief of never having to depend on their parents on the adult in their lives to take them wherever they need to go, they relish the thought that being able to drive would mean that they can meet up with their friends whenever they want wherever they want; they eagerly anticipate going on road trips and exploring new places thanks to their newfound independence and freedom. But do they ever stop to consider how scary this transition sometime feels like for their parents?
As a parent, the thought of my teenager being behind the wheel filled me with inexplicable dread. The thought that the little person I regarded to as my baby not too long ago will now be on their own, driving on roads filled with other road-users whom I cannot vouch for terrifies me. What if the other driver is drunk? What if the other drivers are reckless and they put my child’s life at risk? What if the roads are slippery or there is too much fog? What if they have a puncture or the car simply breaks down and they are far from home? What if my own child makes a mistake that puts them and others at risk? These and similar questions are all I could think of every time I thought of my child behind the wheels.
But change is inevitable and time flies fast. Before I could tackle all my fears my teenager was old enough to learn how to drive and I had to let go and do the inevitable which is find the right driving school for them. I told myself that if I could at least make sure that they got their driving instructions from the best of the very best then I could at least have peace of mind whenever my child was on the road. Thus, my earnest search for a driving school begun.
Because we live in Beaumont I naturally typed pretest driving lessons Beaumont in the search button and the L to Excellence driving school came up in the search results. Naturally, I headed to their website to get a closer look and boy was I impressed!
For starters, I liked the overall look of their website. It’s professionally done with a smooth finish and an inviting look. All the information that you need is right on their page. Just from reading you can tell the qualifications of their instructors, you get to know how many years they have been in existence, you get to see how many students they have trained, and you learn that they have an impressive pass rate. What tipped the scale for me was that they operate all over Dublin – they are also flexible and pick and drop off their students wherever they need to be. I was very impressed to learn this as it made my life much easier. To my surprise, all these comes at a very affordable cost.
Choosing the L to Excellence driving school was one of the best decisions I ever made. Not only is my son confident behind the wheel, but he is also an extremely careful and considerate driver showing respect and extending kindness to other road users. I’m so proud of the driver that he is all thanks to the L to Excellence driving school.
